Cairns.

In Cairns, Queensland, Australia, the home of two World Heritage Areas – the Great Barrier Reef, and Cape Tribulation in the Daintree Rainforest – you will see an stunning ocean that is home to an abundence of marine life, cloudless skies, and golden yellow sand that merge with lush dark green rainforest.
Expert Travel Tip:
The best area to stay at when visiting Cairns, is the Northern Beaches, because tourist operators will pick you up from your accommodation, and it is comfortable and trendy with self-contained apartments that are only fifteen to thirty minutes away from the city, depending on which beach suburb you choose. Plus, it is so relaxing as a getaway destination as you wake up near the waterfront and hear the waves crash.

Cape Tribulation Beach and the Daintree Rainforest National Park:

Cape Tribulation is located almost 100 kilometres drive from Cairns and is within the Daintree Rainforest, which is World Heritage listed.
Expert Travel Tip:
Cape Tribulation has beautiful spa resorts, so stay overnight in luxury. Cape Tribulation is in the middle of the Daintree Rainforest, when you can enjoy wildlife cruises on the Daintree River, to spot Crocodiles in the wild, and walk on boardwalks amongst lush rainforest as well as along
miles of deserted~ golden sand beaches. They say Cape Tribulation is “where the rainforest meets the reef”. As the only place in the world where two World Heritage areas meet one another – it is a magical location! It is very assessable for those who are not mobile, and makes for a great family destination.

Kuranda Skyrail Rainforest Cableway:
Constructed in the 1990’s, the Skyrail spans almost 8 kilometres over the Barron Gorge National Park, and is acclaimed as being simply breath-taking, even for those travellers who are scared of heights.
Expert Travel Tip:
When going on the Kuranda scenic Railway and the Skyrail Cableway I also advise going to the Tjapukai Aboriginal theme Park, because here you will learn how to throw a woomera , play the music sticks and enjoy Aboriginal dancing, which is great fun for all the family, as well as learning about Aboriginal traditions. Also make time to visit the markets.

Lizard Island:

Located about 250 kilometres from Cairns, Lizard Island is one of the many islands located in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Expert Travel Tip: I strongly recommend Mike Ball Dive Expedition’s 3 night fly / dive expedition which starts with a stunning scenic flight along the barrier reef, landing at Lizard Island to meet up with the dive vessel that takes you to some of the most {perfect reefs that you will ever see}. I had numerous scuba trips~worked on the Great Barrier Reef for a number of years} before I went on this trip, and I was amazed by the marine life that I had never seen before like the beautiful lacy scorpion fish and the ghost pipe fish. And if you think you can’t dive then think again, an resort dive is perfect, as long as you are free from medical problems such as heart problems, or asthma, and it is a relaxing way to see the reef for everyone.

The Outback and Uluru:

Some of the sights that you will come accross when visiting Ayers Rock in the Northern Territory are vividly coloured landscapes and amazing rock structures that are incredible, red earth {that blazes brighter than fire embers}, and indigenous art and culture that shows what it truly means to be Australian.

.

Ayers Rock:

Situated just over 350 kilometres southwest of Alice Springs, Ayers Rock, also known as Uluru is a natural rock monolith that is situated in the Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park. Uluru is believed to be thousand of years old and is a ‘must see’.
Expert Travel Tip: The ultimate way to see the Rock is to do a 4 day , 3 night safari, so you can see much more, and so you can see Uluru in all its facets, at sunset and at sunrise. You can either camp, or stay in a luxury hotel. This way you are also able to see Kings Canyon and the Olgas, and the colours of the landscape as they change, which is simply breathtaking.

Tenerife is found in the Atlantic Ocean just off the West coast of Africa, in the middle of its neighbouring islands, and is the largest and most densely populated of the seven Canary Islands. A varied landscape can be found on this volcanic island, and surrounding the majestic Mount Teide can be found golden and charcoal sands and a lively nightlife. Its variety of attractions and activities is enough to keep holiday makers returning year after year.

 

Tourism began in this popular Spanish destination as early as the1890’s as its 12,000 feet volcano proved to be a huge draw, which remains the same today. Tenerife’s natural assets are often overshadowed by its custom-made resorts but can be found in the rugged beauty of the protected Anaga Mountains in the East or discovered through its interesting history in picturesque resorts such as La Orotava and the 17th century religious capital of La Laguna.

 

Year round sunshine is not the only enticement that Tenerife has to offer. As well as some of the most consistent climates on the island, the West coast is also home to the municipality of Santiago del Teide where you can find the amazing Los Gigantes. The cliff faces, once sacred, stand out of the Atlantic and reach heights of 800 metres. There are regular boat trips available which allow you to go whale and dolphin watching whilst taking in the presence of these rock formations.

 

The North of the island is home to the capital city where you can soak up the atmosphere of the ‘Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife’, one of the world’s largest carnivals, or stick around in Santa Cruz to visit the art scene, harbour and waterfront opera house or for some of the islands best shopping.

 

To the East of the island, you can find one of the oldest communities of Vegas del Valle in the region of Guimar. This area is known for its rural, untouched feel and tropical plantations, local wine and fishing harbour.

 

The Southwest shores are the island’s most popular, offering the golden beaches of the Arona and Adeje coastlines, the diving and fishing in Cayo Salvaje and Paraiso Beach, the grand hotel complexes of Playa del Duque and the wide variety of watersports or the buzzing town square in Los Cristianos. Head to the party town of Playa de las Americas if it’s nightlife you’re after, as this unashamedly audacious centre is lined with clubs and pubs that keep going until well into the following day.

 

In the North Central region, you find the Old Town and colonial architecture of Puerto de la Cruz. The smallest municipality but also one of the most popular as it houses Tenerife’s second biggest attraction of Loro Park with its zoo and aquarium. Puerto de la Cruz is one of the few remaining areas where locals still live, work and relax, with its numerous amenities and charming cobbled streets.

Why not see for yourself with some great travel deals.

A lot of us actually forget that it is great to travel by train. If you are one of the ones who can’t remember what all the fuss is about then you might need to be reminded of some of the benefits of train travel. The reasons below will give you a reminder of everything train travel has to offer.

 

- When you travel on a train you do not have to concern yourself with sitting in traffic or worry about where you are going to park once you have arrived at your destination. There is no need for you to have to concentrate on driving as you can just sit back and enjoy the trip.

 

- Most train stations will be situated in the heart of the town or city you are visiting so there will be no need for you to look for other transport; you are already going to be where you want to be. The train can get you to places where driving a car would be a nightmare.

 

- When you travel by train you are more likely to be on time so it is much easier to make plans when you know what time you are going to arrive somewhere.

 

- You can sleep on a train while you travel or catch up with some good books. Many people just like to get a coffee or other refreshment and watch the world pass them by.

 

- You can travel to an unbelievable number of places from any station in the UK. We are now joined to the European rail network and this means we have great options for travel. You can even travel all the way to Asia and go on amazing train journeys like the Orient Express.

 

- Travelling on a train can be like a form of meditation because of the way a train moves; it is just so relaxing and lulling.

Peace of mind ensues once this cover has been purchased. On top of this, you will also want to consider European travel insurance.

You’re looking forward to your well deserved break with the family – but you’d be forgiven for not looking forward to packing for it. But with a little thought and planning you can turn packing for your holiday into an effortless task – by eliminating the need to pack everything but the kitchen sink.

It’s sensible to take low maintenance clothes. Garments that are easily creased – or that you very rarely wear – should really stay in your wardrobe at home. You could always pack something a little dressier to make you feel special if you’re going to be visiting the hotel restaurant or eating out in the evening. But it’s probably not wise to take those six inch heels. There’s a time and a place – and a family holiday with the kids probably isn’t either.

If you’re visiting a seaside resort, remember swim suits and arm bands, beach towels and sun cream. And even if you’re expecting a heat wave, it’s a good idea to pack lightweight coats – after all, the good old British weather does occasionally catch us all out!

For all that sightseeing you might be planning; you’ll all need a pair of comfy shoes. And if you’re anticipating lots of walking – maybe a box of plasters just in case. And talking of medical supplies, it’s handy to pop in some medicine for the children. If they wake up in the middle of the night with a fever, at least you’ll be able to give them some comfort without pacing the corridors or donning your coat and trawling the streets for a 24 hour chemist.

Most hotels provide some complimentary toiletries these days, but if you’d like to take your own, consider buying small travel size bottles for your holiday as they take up less room. And when you’ve used up the contents, you can simply rinse out the bottles and re-fill them with your usual brand when you go on your next trip.

Some children are afraid of the dark – if this is true of your little ones then it’s a good idea to take a nightlight to set up next to their bed. And don’t forget their favourite teddybear. That way they’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep – and so will you!
Although a lot of hotels offer colouring books, crayons and other activities that their younger guests can enjoy quietly, they don’t take up much room in your suitcase and could be a godsend when you some time to yourself with no interruptions.

On the subject of your little ones, they can be prone to creating a mess at mealtimes, so if you’ve a small person who has a tendency to dribble, make sure you’ve packed enough extra clothing to allow for spillages.

Finally, if the children are getting under your feet whilst you try to pack – why not get them to help? Send them off to look for items you need. And if the thought of it puts the fear of God in you, don’t worry – if anything gets forgotten you can at least blame someone else!
