On the road from Muyinga to Cankuzo

Jumat, 04 Juni 2010
Bujumbura is in the western part of the country. Moving towards the East travelers will be able to visit Gitega, it’s a large market held right in the center of the town, and its Museum of Traditions (ancient utensils, pictures, commented visit). Travelers will have to make advance bookings to be able to watch an extraordinary and fascinating show unique in the world: “The Drummers of Giheta” playing in their traditional environment. Then you will be making head away towards Rutana to see the admirable panorama of the Karea Falls and the Nykazu Break, called the “Break of the Germans”, which is an exceptional lookout that oversees the Kumoso plain. You will be ending your tour by the visit of Gihofi, a booming town with its new sugar refinery in the hart of the sugar cane plantations country.

Towards the Southeastern part of the country don’t miss by any means the visit of the Nile Sources near Rutovu. Don’t forget to take your swimming gear with you otherwise you may miss the benefit of the hot springs in charming and subtle surroundings. You will also be able to see on your way the last traditional enclosed villas (round habitations surrounded by wooden fences strip in turn surrounded by grazing meadows and ploughed fields).

Further south you will be able to cross a line of villages succeeding one after the other and wedged between the lake and abrupt mountains. Fortunately, you will be able to stop and have a rest, or go for nautical sports and have a meal in restaurants or simply stop for a drink, on nicely arranged fine sand beaches. Still further south lays the Nyanza Lake. Why not to take a boat and go to Tanzania on the other side of the lake and visit Gombe Natural Park?

Towards the north just before reaching Bugarama, there is an important market center for high quality fresh foodstuffs. You can walk across the primeval forest of Kibira the access of which is still very difficult but which is in a process of beaconing. Carry on towards Kayanza and Ngozi, two big agricultural production and trade villages. At Kirundo, near the border with Rwanda, you will discover the small lakes of the North, the peacefulness and serenity of their jagged borders. Take a boat and drift on the Rwihinda Lake to admire numerous birds’ species entirely free on the lake (crested cranes, wild ducks, fishing eagles, etc.).

On the road from Muyinga to Cankuzo, the visit of the Natural park of the Ruvuvu Rivers is a must now that is endowed with accommodation infrastructure; there you’ll be able to admire Burundi protected remnant buffaloes and dorcas (gazelles). The surrounding primeval forest will no doubt leave you with an unforgettable souvenir.

The Bujumbura-Ijenda-Matana road lays Rutovu

Jumat, 04 Juni 2010
In Bujumbura climb to the “Belvedere” on the top of the hill, a dominating point of the town. You’ll be able to visit the mausoleum of Prince Louis Rwagasore, founder of the Uprona party and Hero of the independence of Burundi.

Ten kilometers south of Bujumbura at Mugere is the Livingstone-Stanley Monument, a stone marking a spot where the two famous explorers David Livingstone and H. M. Stanley spent two nights on 25-27 November 1871 as guests of Chief Mukamba during their joint exploration of the northern end of Lake Tanganyika, following their first meeting at Ujiji, Tanzania 15 days previously.

114 km away from Bujumbura, on the Bujumbura-Ijenda-Matana road lays Rutovu, a town where a pyramid was erected at the southern most source of the Nile, at an altitude of 2,000 m.

It is impossible to make a list of all the places worth making a stop, as Burundi is a real Garden of Eden defying weather and exercising on people an irresistible attraction. When arriving in Bujumbura, for all your circuits, itineraries and tours go to the National Office of Tourism where a great choice can be made available to you. You will be able to see everything: the Nyakazu Break to the east, the Karera Falls, the Tanganyika Lake panoramas at Vyanda and Kabonambo, the tea plantations of Teza or Rwegura. The reservoir built at this place is surrounded by beautiful sceneries. In a nutshell, a synthesis of curiosities worth devoting part of your holidays allowance.

About Musium in Burundi

Jumat, 04 Juni 2010
There are two museums in Bujumbura and Gitega.

The second largest town in the country, Gitega, has the National Museum founded in 1955 where there is an exhibition of a magnificent ethnographic collection of objects owned by the Crown and that could be seen at the Court in the first part of the 20th century, together with an archaeological collection and historical photographs.

You will enjoy the old photographs of our kings, princes and queens of the 19th century, surrounded by lot of objects owned by men and women of those days; jewelry, baskets from all regions, earthenware for many uses, calabashes to keep water or for churning, war and hunting spears, ploughing instruments, ironworking and sculpting instruments.

In Bujumbura, the Musée Vivant near the lake presents a great part of the treasures in a wider place surrounded by magnificent gardens. Old and modern crafts are presented in beautiful small cabins. However the masterpiece of this museum is the reconstruction in real dimensions of a royal habitation. The entire surrounding courtyard can be visited and the main hut topped by an interlaced dome covered by a think thatched roof.

The Musée Vivant also keeps up a bird house where few local species can be seen and a Herpetologic Center where there are displays of snakes and many species of reptiles. This living museum was regarded as one of the most renowned centers in Africa since its collection was opened to the public in 1988.

The service at the 5 star hotels in Bali is impeccable

Selasa, 01 Juni 2010

When you stay at a 5 star hotel in Bali you are guaranteed a smooth seamless stay where everything you could possibly require will be waited to you hand and foot. Not only will you receive luxury transfers and a variety of welcome gifts and refreshments but the room quality is north in short of world class. Many of the 5 star hotels in Bali are modern with a traditional influence that has created the Bali style villa look that is now famous across the whole world in the travel and tourism industry and has been duplicated in many other countries due to the effectiveness of the marriage of modern hotel concepts and the traditional architecture.

Most of the 5 star hotels in Bali are located in the most exclusive area in Bali which are Nusa Dua, the beachside boulevard style luxury area, Ubud the hillside cultural heart of Bali and Jimbaran located on the West coast with one of the nicest bays in Bali and amazing seafood restaurants. The Ubud resort tend to have more of a traditional feel and are centered more around the Balinese culture although lack nothing in luxury where as the Nusa Dua options tend to be more modern often with the traditional influence. In Jimbaran there is a combination of the two ideas. Examples of the types of companies represented in Bali are the Ritz Carlton and Intercontinental Resort Bali although there are some smaller companies that are offering alternative options such as the C 151 group and some other outfits.

This About Cheap Hotels in Legian

Selasa, 01 Juni 2010
Cheap accommodation in Legian is similar in style to that of Kuta although the general standard is raised as is the price, but unless you are on a globe trotting budget this price increase is virtually insignificant.. Depending on what constitutes cheap accommodation in Legian is means to you there is everything from villa style resorts with pools, restaurants, air conditioning and variety of extensive services and a real sense of character and class for around $20 to $30 per night, or in contrast, backpacker/ surfer's accommodation consisting largely of a room with a bed, cupboard and bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink and is unlikely to cost you more than $7 for the privilege although in Legian even this level of accommodation is of a higher standard then that of southern Kuta. Legian accommodates all requirements as well as mid range and luxury accommodation at low prices.

For the cheaper backpacker rooms that can be as little as $5-$7 a night and can offer increasing luxuries when paying just $7-$10, searching around Jalan Legian and its subsidiaries will reveal many humble little Losmen and budget bungalow rooms. The general layout is a traditional Balinese gateway that leads into a consistently beautiful tropical Balinese garden courtyard area regardless of price range and blocks of rooms or separate bungalows that surround the central yard that are pretty basic inside but always with a cheerful social scene and pleasant staff. Most establishments offer pools and other services and are far more secluded and tranquil then in main Kuta with mini-bars, safes and air-conditioning as more of a standard fitting.

Prices increase as you near the beach and here you can find mid-range and top end resorts that can be surprisingly cheap for this standard of accommodation if you are in the budget to mid range market. As for the higher level budget accommodation in Legian it is wise to make a prior booking online to prevent disappointment as the internet rates are cheaper and these places can fill quicker as they bridge the gap between Budget prices and mid range facilities.

Budget accommodation in Legian is usually far more tranquil and relaxed and more suited to couples and families due to the quieter and often not such a young demographic as can be found in the main Kuta area, breakfast, tours and spas are often available. Expect hot water, balconies, pools, mini bars and other services. What ever you go for it is almost always (apart from the in the most popular places) possible to agree a lower price for a longer stay.

Recreation Opportunities Complement

Senin, 31 Mei 2010

A full range of recreation opportunities complement the expansive shoreline of Illinois Beach State Park. Interested in jogging and bicycling? The trails are waiting! Or, is physical fitness your current pursuit? Whether you're an active outdoor enthusiast or just interested in a quiet walk along some of the Midwest's most scenic beaches, this is the place for you!


Stretching leisurely for six and a half miles along the sandy shore of Lake Michigan in northern Illinois, Illinois Beach State Park encompasses the only remaining beach ridge shoreline left in the state.
Illinois Beach is a unique and captivating natural resource for all to enjoy. It was created by the titanic forces of glacial advance and retreat and the steady winds that breathed across expansive Lake Michigan. The park has dunes and swales with sprawling marshes, forests of oak and vast arrays of animal life and vegetation.
The 4,160-acre park, consisting of two separate areas, offers ample opportunities for swimming, boating, picnicking, hiking, fishing, camping and just appreciating nature.

More than 650 species of plants have been recorded in the dunes area alone, including dozens of types of colorful wildflowers. Prickly pear cactus thrives in large colonies in the dry areas, and the wet prairies are carpeted with a wide variety of grasses and sedges. Large expanses of marsh in the swales support dense stands of cattail, bluejoint grass, prairie cordgrass, reed grass, big bluestem and sedges.

The sandy ridges are crowned by black oak forests with an open, savanna-like appearance, and several kinds of fragrant pines, introduced here a century ago, also prosper in the southern area.

Just north of these pines is the Dead River which actually is a stream that is blocked by sandbars much of the year forming an elongated pond. When the water finally rises high enough, it breaks through the sandbar and drains the surrounding marshes. The abundance of aquatic plants and fish flourishing in this changing environment belie its name.
