Travel Europe – How to Travel Europe on a Cheap Budget

March 6th, 2009 by admin

We all want to travel Europe on a cheap budget these days.

Budget and discount price airlines have sprung up in almost every European country in the last few years – all of them fighting furiously with each other to offer the best value cheap airfare deals. But do we really benefit from these discount European travel prices or do the drawbacks of trying to travel Europe cheaply outweigh the advantages? Do the budget low price airfares blind us to the extra hassle that the cheap price might be hiding? Lets look at some current cheap European travel deals and see what we find.

Almost every European country now has at least one no frills budget airline. Easy Jet and Ryan Air are becoming well known and popular in Great Britain and in Ireland. Germany has four or five low cost airlines and cheap airfare specialists. Meanwhile, in Sweden, SAS have just launched their own budget offshoot called Snowflake.

At first glance the fares that these airlines charge can seem ridiculously low; Ryan Air have given their flights away almost for free in the past – although you still have to pay the airport tax of around twenty UK pounds. But where’s the catch? Is there a catch? Can you really travel Europe by air without spending a fortune?

Here’s the deal if you want to travel Europe on a cheap budget:

Firstly, the low fares airlines in Europe nearly always use out of town provincial airports – often about forty or fifty miles from the respective city centres. This can add up to two hours of travel time to your journey at each end. You also have to pay for the bus or train connection to get from your airport to the city centre. Make sure you add this price in to the cost of your ticket when comparing prices between cheap airfare deals and the prices charged by the mainstream airlines. In most cases the main airlines fly you into the city centre airport and thus cut your travel time and the cost of any extra transport.

If you’re unlucky enough to miss a flight then you could literally be stuck in a very rural airport overnight with all the food outlets closed down and no way to get back to the town or the city.

Secondly, you only get what you pay for. The European budget airlines may offer no in-flight service for food and drinks. Or, if they do, they will charge you for it at a premium rate. Coffee, sandwiches and beer may be very pricey indeed. To be fair, many of the flights are only of an hour or two’s duration so snacks and drinks may not be such a big deal.

Thirdly – figure out the total travel time and compare that to the costs. For example: it takes five hours to go from the very centre of Glasgow in Scotland to the very centre of London by train and it costs around twenty five UK pounds each way.

Now – you might pick up a cheap flight from Glasgow to London, only to find that both of your airports are forty miles from the city centre. That immediately adds three hours to your travel time, not counting the waiting around at the airports, baggage handling and all the extra hassle that goes with it. You will also have to pay separately for the bus or train journey from airport to city centre and vice versa. Unless your airfare is extremely cheap you might well spend more money in the long run for a less comfortable journey. Check it all out carefully in advance if you can.

Fourthly, the quoted cheap airfare ticket prices are only for APEX travellers. You might have to pay a lot extra if you need to change your flight time. Cheap airfare prices are also usually only available if you buy well in advance – buying the day before or on the day will add a big premium to the price. The baggage allowance is also on the mean side – often no more than 15kg or 20kg per person. Any more than that and you will face a very hefty premium on your cheap price ticket.

In summary – you can travel Europe cheaply by choosing your discount airline package carefully. But do try to weigh up all the extra hidden costs as you compare flight ticket prices. You should also factor in the extra travel time that arriving at a provincial airport may bring.

Please remember: Don’t get too hung up on it all!

Travel in Europe is fun – however you do it.

Serengeti Safari, Tanzania

March 5th, 2009 by admin

No place in the world compares with Serengeti – and its neighboring wildlife havens – for the sheer exhilaration of its wildlife experience. It is so spectacular that it deserves more time to explore and absorb its full-blown beauty.

This is the kingdom of predators, while the huge herds of the Migration thunder across the plains in countless numbers.

A unique way to see the Serengeti is by hot air balloon. Leaving your lodge in the central Serengeti at 5 am, this is the one time to drive in the Serengeti in the pre-dawn. Night drives are not allowed inside Tanzanian National Parks. Take off is at dawn, ascending as the sun rises and floating silently in whichever direction the winds of the morning takes the balloon; sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below. At times, ascend to 1000 meters or more to see the enormity and wonderful panorama of the Serengeti. From time to time the pilot must put more heat into the balloon with the powerful whisper burners. In between these burns, there is silence apart from the natural sounds below.
Questions to consider when planning an African safari.

One is cost and a major consideration for most people. The Serengeti is not cheap – with park fees alone doubling to US $60 per person per day from January 2006. There are some lodges that cater for budget safaris and if you also travel in low season then costs are reduced considerably.
How long should a safari be – the Serengeti alone is so vast months could be spent exploring. Five days spent in the central and southern Serengeti or the central and northern Serengeti depending on the time of year is the minimum time to get any real feel or enjoyment for the area.

What time of year is best: The dry season is July to December with the short rains in November. The long rains are from March to mid June. However, the weather does not always act predictably. Some years we have had more rain in January and February that the whole of the wet season. It may be better to say the rains are from November to June with a drier period from December to mid March. Low season is both cheaper and the parks have less tourists. This depends on what you want and to work closely with your tour operator will help. I would try to avoid late July to the end of September for the sole reason it is just too busy.

Getting here: If you are a seasoned traveler, there is no reason why you should not arrive here and organize your safari with a local operator. This way your itinerary may be more interesting and you will save money. However if you do this late July to September you may be disappointed as the lodges at this time are fully booked [in some cases up to one year in advance]. The safest option is to book through and agent or tour operator.
To join a group or a private safari. Joining a group will be cheaper; this being the only advantage if cost is an issue. Always to have a vehicle to yourself will give you more privacy, is more relaxing and there will be more flexibility with the itinerary.

What to take – travel light or dress for dinner. This depends on your itinerary, what time of year you travel. Your tour operator will give you all this information. The more questions you ask the more successful will be your safari. The quality of the answers you receive to your questions will also indicate how interested your operator in Tanzania is on the success of your safari verses simply making a profit.

One last remark will be to relax whilst on safari – take off you watch as it simply will not be needed. There is not the same urgency in Africa – hakuna matata.

All profits from http://www.betheladventre.co.uk go into the Patmos Community Initiative, which is a Non-Governmental Organization in Northern Tanzania – no. 11778. We are currently building a nursery school in Sokon One – Arusha. We offer and encourage voluntary positions vacations to our charitable projects. Swahili Language courses are available twice per year, in March and in November.

Factory operators fined for negligence in observing safety precautions

March 4th, 2009 by admin

600 UK Ltd, operators of a factory at West Yorkshire received the maximum penalty at the Dewsbury Magistrates’ Court for non-compliance of the mandatory safety standards. A fine of £20,000 was imposed on the factory operators and they were also asked to pay £5,046 as costs. The factory was found to be in non-compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

The factory operators were being prosecuted for an accident that a 47 year old employee met with due to lack of safety measures in place. The workman, while using an unguarded cutting tool at the factory, had suffered permanent damage to his arm. The injuries included multiple fractures in the arm, loss of tissue, and damages to both nerve and muscle. The incident occurred when his sleeve got entangled in the vertical jig borer and he was unable to free himself as the brakes of the machine failed to respond. The workman was finally rescued by his colleagues.

Commenting on the case, Geoff Fletcher, the Health and Safety Inspector, said that he found it surprising that the accident happened at a factory owned by 600 UK Ltd, as the company itself manufactures these type of machines and should have been aware of the necessary safety precautions for using these machines. Proper guards in place could have easily prevented the accident from occurring.

The incident has led the HSE to warn all manufacturers that they must ensure compliance with required safety standards.

Appropriate training for your staff and managers can help in reducing workplace accidents and avoid costly penalties handed down from the HSE. Find out more about the accredited nebosh course available from the training experts at Workplace Law.

Winter Holidays for the Environmentally Aware Skier

March 3rd, 2009 by admin

Many snowboarders will before long be dusting down their ski equipment and dashing forth in search of the largest snowfall. And beyond any doubt the affect from our carbon footprint will be nearly as far down the list of holiday to dos as a Christmas cracker after the Christmas vacation. Merely last Christmas, a slow snowfall was in the headlines and tourists were panicky about the bits of snow melting almost as soon as they put down.

Ski holiday organisation Chalet 1802, based at the base of Monte Bianco in Chamonix town in the French Alps, is one of the only independent firms to go carbon negative and afford skiers an environmentally friendly selection whilst organising their skiing holidays. Chalet1802 founder Gearoid stated: Last winter was a bit of a surprise with the hottest wintertime in 55 yrs in the French Alps. Snowboarding resorts for example Megeve, La Mongie and Flegere has difficulty.It was mild and the snowfall didnt last so a lot of the early skiing season in the French Alps was limited. We decided to become carbon negative to assist in the preservation the ski resort.

Gearoid said: We are not attempting to dictate to holiday makers but I consider it is important to give the guests the selection without augmenting the price of the vacation. When they book with us and holidays in our skiing chalet they can further off set their carbon output and we soak up the other costs. Of course we still have a sauna and a hot tub – people require lavishness but not at the expense of the alps mountains, so we viewed means of diminishing the affect of a client driving over here for a ski holiday.”

The company have also linked up with charity Climate Care, which tackles climate change by providing C02 deductions on behalf of people and companies.

A business doesnt have to spend on transportation costs, hotels and meals. Big savings that quickly add up. Any dollar saved means more productivity for your business. Its commonly known that some organizations are opting for Internet conferencing calls to save overhead on needless business trips.

Guide to Bassano del Grappa, Northern Italy

March 1st, 2009 by admin

Unique Points

Bassano sits in a stunning location by the River Brenta with
Monte Grappa in the background. It is about 35 kilometres
north east of Vicenza. The town’s symbols are said to be the
Palladian bridge, white asparagus, ceramics and the
Grappa liqueur. I visited the town for the day in February
2005. I really liked the location, the fresh air, the fast flowing
river and the picturesque bridge. If you like to be slightly off
the tourist track and would prefer a more rural setting for
short break or as a base for a touring holiday, Bassano is
ideal.

How to get there

The nearest airports are Treviso, used by Ryanair as it’s
airport for Venice and Venice Marco Polo. You could hire a
car from the airport. It is possible to reach Bassano by train
on the Vicenzia – Trento or Padova – Bassano lines.

History

It is often assumed that the city takes its name from the
well known liqueur Grappa. This is not the case; it is named
after Monte Grappa. The mountain’s name is said to
originate from crapp or greep, meaning crag in an ancient
pre-Latin language. The liqueur Grappa’s name stems
from grappolo, meaning a cluster of grapes.

Grappa liqueur has been produced in Bassano since 1779
when Bortolo Nardini bought a Grapperia on the Brenta
River bank. Grappa is made from the by-products of wine
making, the seeds, stems and skins. The company is still
run by members of the Nardini family, accounting for around
one quarter of annual grappa production.

Ponte Vecchia has become synonymous with Bassano.
The bridge is first mentioned in the 11th century. The bridge
has been rebuilt several times due to flooding or
destruction during wars. It is still the original design by
Palladio from 1569. The bridge is built of wood, making it
more resilient to the fast flowing River Brenta.

There is a record of the city on St Mary’s Hill from the 10th
century. From the 14th to 18th century the city was under
Venetian rule. It became well known for the manufacture of
ceramics, wool, silk, iron and copper. The Remondini
family ran one of the most up to date printing houses in
Europe from the17th to the 19th century.

Grappa liqueur has been produced in Bassano since 1779
when Bortolo Nardini bought a Grapperia on theBrenta
River bank. Grappa is made from the by products of wine
making, the seeds, stems and skins. The company is still
run by members of the Nardini family, accounting for around
one quarter of annual grappa production.

The Town Hall was first constructed in1405. Bartolomeo
Ferranci installed the present clock mechanism in 1743.
The interior walls are adorned by frescoes of 120 coats of
arms.

White asparagus was first produced in the 16th century after
Bassano experienced a hailstorm which destroyed the
asparagus crop. The farmers dug up the part of the plant
below the earth and discovered that it was so tender and
delicious that they started to grow it underground
permanently.

Parolini, a local nobleman, designed the Giardini Parolini in
the early 19th century. In 1829 Parolini catalogued 3000
plant species in the garden.

During the First World War the Italians took a last stand
against the Austrians in Monte Grappa where they
entrenched themselves in tunnels and bunkers to repel the
Austrian attackers. Over 12,000 Italian and 10,000 Austrian
soldiers lost their lives in the numerous battles.

During the Second World War Italian partisans hid in Monte
Grappa, organising raids on the main supply route from
Germany to the German troops stationed in Italy. In 1944
the Germans took revenge by marching up the mountain
behind women, children and elderly local inhabitants. Any
partisans discovered or civilians suspected of assisting
partisans were killed. There were public hangings and
shootings with families forced to watch.

In 1946 the Italian prime minister awarded Basssano the
gold medal for military valour. Every year the city
commemorates these events during September.

The Museo degli Alpini was established in 1948 in memory
of the Italian Alpine Troops It is located on the eastern side
of the Ponte Vecchio. You have to enter it through a cafe. I
found this rather confusing but the museum is down stairs
to the left when you enter the cafe.
Originally the collection was very small but has grown as
more war relics have been gathered together. There are
many original photos, uniforms and armoury.

Museo della Cermica is near the eastern side of the Ponte
Vecchio. The building was constructed as the residence of
Ferrari family, owners of a local silk factory. The entrance
hall is adorned with a fresco by Giorgio Anseli. There are
pieces of engraved ceramics from medieval times, Mainardi
majolica pieces from the 17th and 18th century, along with
modern pieces.

The Civic Musuem is one of the oldest in the Veneto region.
It was built in1828 on the site of the convent of St Francis. It
houses a collection of paintings by the Da Ponti family,
Guariento and Magnasco, a collection of prints by the
Remondini family. There is also an archaeological section
and pieces by Antonio Canova.

Bassano boasts several churches. San Donato was built in
1208. It is claimed that St Francis of Assisi and St Anthony
of Padua both stayed here during the third decade of the
13th century. The church was a hospital, run by Benedictine
nuns in the 14th century, then a Fransican monastery during
the 15th century. The church was restored in 1900,
including work being done on the cell which was used by
the two saints.

The Church of San Francesco was started in the mid 12th
century, after the return of Ezzelino 11, the Stutterer, from the
Holy Land. The Church of St John the Baptist was originally
built in 1308 but reconstructed in the 18th century by local
architect Giovanni Miazzi. Giambattista Piazzetti made the
altarpiece of John the Baptist and Orzio Marinali created the
statues of angels and the bas-reliefs.

The Cathedral of Holy Mary was a 10th century parish
church in the original high part of the town. The present
cathedral dates from the 17th century. The high altar piece
and the painting of St Stephen are the work of Leandro di
Ponte, and the sculptures are by Mainali. Di Giacomo Dacci
made the organ and the three ceiling paintings are by
Volpata.

The equation is simple; the more embedded tools your web site has at its disposal, the more control you have in the business. This level of control allows your customers to have a higher level of service, which is vital for your long term success.

Just like the Mall scenario, top level business hosting costs a premium, so how can you get all of the advantages without paying the extra cost?
