Thailand the city of Ayutthaya

FEBRUARY 19, 2013

Thailand

Taste the atmosphere of a night in the city of Ayutthaya in Thailand

Of course, you can totally visit Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand with a day trip from Bangkok, but it is certainly not with this type of formula you will remember as one of your best vacation memories!

Indeed, you will find yourself in full dodger, amid a dense crowd of tourists, and it does not allow you to enjoy the ruins of temples at fair value.

As against the night, what tranquility and enlightened stupas are beautiful, as you can see on some pictures I brought back.

At the historical level, Ayutthaya had its heyday between the fourteenth and eighteenth century, with a population of over 00 300 inhabitants.

Ayutthaya

This island surrounded by three rivers is now a tourist mecca whose best-known images are Buddha head surrounded by roots and three stupas aligned on the existing banknotes.

The site is very large, much larger than what you seem on the cards, then a board or rent a bike for about € 2 per day, or book a tuk tuk for about 5 € per hour, it does buy too pierce blisters on your feet at night;)

The wealthy or originals can also stroll on elephant back for a minimum of 15 € stroll.

To offset this expense, the ruins are very often free access and it is possible to book a midrange hotel for € 25 a night, breakfast included.

Sailboat in the Bahamas

8 months sailing in the Bahamas

There are those who dream adventures ...

I recently met a couple who went to an extraordinary journey of eight months sailing in the Bahamas .

This meeting was very inspiring for me and I feel like here to tell you their fascinating history.

Besides, you can follow the story of their adventure photos and videos on their blog eight months sailing to the Bahamas . You will spend a good time. This is guaranteed or your money back

Adventurers

Simon, 33

Melanie, 30, and Simon 33, left everything behind them, the time to live their dream.

From October 2007 to July 2008 , they dropped the ropes to a new world.

With only three short years of sailing experience under his belt, they are left without looking back. Some say it is foolhardy. I say that is to have the courage to live his dreams.

The route

The intracostale, on the east coast of the US

On board their sailboat Bénéteau 38 '1990, they left the Lake Champlain in upstate New York to go down the East Coast to Florida . Most of the trip took place via theintracostale , an inner channel specifically designed for travel by boat to the inland.

Young sailors have, however, few bounds at sea , often at night, to make the attempt.In all, they made ​​three jumps more or less 24 hours at sea without seeing the coast 360 degrees. One has to feel alone in the world.

As a happiness never comes alone (I hate that term), their engine overheated on arrival in Florida, to the point that they had to replace it with a brand new. All in all, this mishap has retained almost one month since it was held in the festive time, and everything was closed.

But in early January, it is a new beginning .

From Florida, they had to cross the legendary Gulf Stream to go directly to Paradise, Bahamas.

The Bahamas

Melanie on the beaches of the Bahamas

Simon and Melanie have set foot in the Bahamas in January 2008 .

The Bahamas is a string of wild islands, often uninhabited. A perfect destination to experience this type of adventure.

Besides sailing and extreme relaxation, you can fish, among others, lobster . Lobster fishing is "snorkeling" (tuba) with a "sling" as they say there. It is a kind of harpoon provides with an elastic that is released then tends to do the launched underwater.

Is then brought our catch on the boat and we all grilled on the barbecue with the other boaters anchor. When we speak of extreme relaxation ...

The Bahamas is also thousands of beaches, turquoise waters and above all, a lifestyle called " Island time ". It is a space and time elsewhere. Nothing to do with the urban stress and our lifestyles 2000s.

The return

In April, the return is necessary because the hurricane season is about to begin.Melanie and Simon have therefore taken the Florida direction back across the famous Gulf Stream.

From there, they redid the journey in the opposite direction to Lake Champlain, their home port. It was the first time since the beginning of their adventure they knew what lay before them.

They finally docked July 2, 2008 , after 8 months of dreams and wonderful adventures.

This type of adventure is he not the ultimate test for a couple ? 8 months living side by side in 38 feet long by 12 feet wide ... Mixed with stress of having to suffer the vagaries of the weather (strong winds, waves, etc.) and life on board.

And you? Have you ever had the courage to live your dreams ?

Cusco - Place d'armes

A free tour of the city and quality? Yes it is possible, and you should take advantage!In Europe, the concept of "Free Walking Tours" has also a success, but much less is known on the American continent. Rich in history and culture, Cusco is a city that has much to offer. These city tours are led by volunteers, usually students in history or tourism, and are much more dynamic than the traditional city tours. It is a lovely walk of about 1h30 through the historic center of the city that also allows you to learn several anecdotes about the city and practical advice.

The tour takes place from Monday to Saturday at 11:50, starting from Plaza Regocijo, a block from the Plaza de Armas. You do not need a reservation, but do not forget to be a traveler friendly and tip the guide. The effort and kindness need to be rewarded.

2 Chocolate Museum, Cusco

Chocolate Museum

The Chocolate Museum, located in the pretty neighborhood of artisans of San Blas, is an essential reference for lovers of good chocolate. But here, what is unique is that in addition to taste the quality of chocolate, it invites you to participate in workshops manufacturing for a period of 2 hours. So you can choose between two options: making a chocolate plate and preparation of a real hot chocolate, or preparing 6 6 chocolates and truffles. And of course, you will leave with your creations ... if, of course, you do not end on the spot!

If you are thrill seekers, know that the Sacred Valley offers much more than landscapes and archaeological sites. There are several excursions combining camping and rafting, one to three days on the Apurimac and Urubamba River. These excursions are available whether you are beginner or advanced. As the current intensity varies greatly depending on the season, you better choose the time of the trip according to their own abilities. During the wet season (December to April), rafting is level 2-4, due to frequent rains. During the dry season (May to November), the water is much calmer.This is a good opportunity for beginners to try rafting, while enjoying a dose of adventure.

5-Make a horseback ride, Sacred Valley

The Sacred Valley is a region that offers beautiful landscapes. She explores trek, especially on foot, but also on horseback. Although horse riding is a much less known version of travelers, it is quite safe and very well framed. The agencies offer several different excursions. The most pleasant is probably two days, passing through the famous salt mines of Maras, the ruins of Checoq, Moray and other small villages on little traveled roads if it is only by local farmers. Night is at the hotel, to gain strength and includes meals, including a great BBQ dinner accompanied by a pisco sour the national cocktail of Peru. It's a different way to experience the Sacred Valley and especially to live an unforgettable experience.

The possibilities are endless goshawks of Machu Picchu. With a little research, anyone can find happiness.
