Friday, December 31st, 2010

There are some thinks what peoples usually want to do and also many what they don’t, but from such reasons they are forced to do. It is just a way of living. But all of you will agree that it’s only few thinks on the planet that all the peoples are willing to, any time everywhere. One of them is Holiday Travel. Traveling for fun and relaxation, does not matter of the destination, cause in present days, traveling guide sites provide answers within a minute. Just because we are here to make a virtual tour traveling to approach the moment of satisfaction on the journey of all who visit this site. Travelogue and virtual or real stories are from long ago. Try to remember the “Around the world in 80 days”, the famous book of Jules Verne.
 
Our virtual tour of holiday travel will be related to the real places what we will try to present you. So, please fast the seat belt and get ready to enjoy.

We will start from Portugal because of the reason that from this place in XV century Fernando Magellan Portuguese navigator start his trip around the world. Honestly it was not really holiday travel trip but pure challenge. Portugal, westernmost country of Europe located In Iberian peninsula and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. His capital Lisbon or so called white site, try to find out why. There are several reasons to make Holiday Travel in Portugal, Architecture, Cinema, Gastronomy, Music, Painting and Sport. Try to explore some of them and your dreams will become truth. It is on your own and we are continuing further as the Magellan did before few centuries ago.

Next destination South America Brazil, one of the hottest destinations for holiday travel today. Rio De Janeiro, Copacabana, Ipanema one of the most know beaches on the planet. Homeland of Coffee, Sugar cane, Carnivals and Football. Having holiday travel in this country is more than event.
Going on the south as Magellan did, next visit of our holiday travel is Argentina. Big country, with rich history.
Country is known for music, Argentineans tango myth or reality. Argentineans food, wide variety of Indigenous and Criolo creations, which include empanadas,locro (a mixture of corn, beans, meat, bacon, onion, and gourd), the latter considered Argentina’s national beverage. Why don’t you taste it. Football here is way of living.

Next step is to jump over the pacific, big challenge even for today’s traveler. If you take ticket on some modern cruiser than your will be in better position then seaman from XV century..

Next destination is Manila Philippines.. Country of volcanoes’ and lakes. You can see Spanish and Chinese influence everywhere. There is interesting architecture all across Manila, serving as evidence to its multicultural past. If you spend your holiday travel here, don’t miss to pay attention to the Echanted Kingdom,, Divisioria Market, Nayong Filipino cultural park, Chinese cemetery, Splash island and many others. Magellan finishes his history travel here, but the rest of the crew has continue further.

Next destination what we will recommend is India. It is very difficult to mention what the ordinary travel might expect if he pass his holiday travel in India. India is quiet different story. It’s story by itself and has nothing common with the others. Country of contras, country where extreme poverty and extreme wealth live a few meters distance. We will have courage just to mention some of them. Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar, Red Fort, Lotus Temple, Himalaya, Golden temple, India gate. You have to have several holidays trips in this country if you like to fill a small portion of the traveling potential of this country. To have holiday travel in India as first you need to prepare yourself.

Next continent to visit is Africa so called black continent, and South African Republic as first target point, often informally known as the Transvaal Republic. Country of diamonds, ecotourism and world FIFA 2010. Beautiful climate allows a very large number of national parks. There is cape Good Hope, which is dividing point between Atlantic and Indian Ocean. And at the end of this virtual trip we will get back to the starting point. Try to imagine holiday travel cruise starting from South Africa and ending at Portugal. You will travel close to Ghana, Ivory coast, Guinea, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo… etc. Finally we are back to the starting point but approaching from the east side and with one day additional in our travel diary.
