It’s time to choose a Summer holiday, and many people will happily book a scheduled flight or opt for a package holiday to just one destination. But when it comes to cruise holidays, you can experience the best bits of multiple destinations in one holiday, and with one choice of accommodation. A cruise ship is transport, accommodation and a restaurant in one – in some cases a gym, swimming pool and a theatre too – and many people are waking up to the idea that a cruise holiday offers much more value for money than the average package break.

And what’s more, this luxurious never-lift-a-finger style of holiday needn’t break the bank. You can find cruise deals across a whole range of itineraries and knock a significant amount off the original cost of the holiday by staying alert to tour operator’s deals and discounts – whether that means utilising online discounts, booking late to grab a last-minute bargain, or taking advantage of deals on upgrades to secure a bigger cabin or an all inclusive onboard drinks package.

One thing’s for sure, whichever itinerary you choose and whoever you sail with – from P&O Cruises to Royal Caribbean International – there is always a wealth of choice on offer and a vast range of experiences to choose from. Will you live it up onboard with surfing and rock-climbing lessons? Spend your days ashore exploring exciting cities and glorious holiday destinations? Or really push the boat out and enjoy a longer 18-night itinerary around the picturesque Caribbean?

Novices or first-timers can also choose from a range of short taster cruises and take in a smaller schedule of ports across just one or two nights. So whatever you want from your cruise holiday, there is something for everyone – and a lot more in-between.

Once the clubbing capital of Europe and famous for its epic nights out, Faliraki has a reputation that precedes it. But while some say that its hedonistic heyday has been and gone, others believe that this feisty town is well and truly making a comeback.

The truth is that Faliraki never really went away. It’s always been there, but other resorts quickly sprang up to share the limelight. Ibiza aside, which still retains its crown as the godfather of clubbing holidays, Faliraki jostled for position with such upstarts as Malia, Kardamena, Kavos and Ayia Napa – and clubbers enjoyed a variety that brought a new holiday hotspot every Summer.

Now after something of a renaissance, Rhodes clubbing holidays are back with a bang – bigger, better and busier than ever before. You’ll find everything from foam parties and karaoke bars to 80s discos and – of course – clubs. Pretty much every taste is catered for so whether you’re a die-hard clubber or you just fancy somewhere a little lively, this clubbing classic certainly won’t disappoint.

Faliraki is all about serious fun. By night, party to the best tunes with world class DJs. By day, sleep it off on the beach. And what a beach! Easily one of the best on the island, this long stretch of golden sand has got plenty of space, stacks of sunbeds and just about every water sport under the sun. From jet skiing to parasailing, banana boats to speed boats – it’s all here ready for the taking. Or if that’s a little too energetic just flake out in the hot, hot sun and soak up some much-missed rays.

So whatever you’re after – whether it’s a trip down memory lane or some knockout nights at the best clubs in the business – Faliraki is definitely back with a bang.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS IN THIS WORLD!
Of course, a very special  greetings to my beloved Mama who is the best Mother of All!I love you dear Mother. God bless you and all mothers out there!

“The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed,
but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.”

Rajneesh

“Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.”

~George Cooper.

Do you love food and really love to eat? Are you visiting Madrid? Don’t miss to go  inside Mercado de San Miguel.  Known in English  as Market  of San Miguel,  you can see a lot of  stalls inside that sell  foods of all kinds.  There are various  restaurants, coffee shops and  bars inside.

Even you are not planning to eat there, just take a look inside because this area is declared as  “Bien de Interest Cultural” by the Spanish government last 2000.  The term literally means “Property of Cultural Interest”.

I took this image during my second visit in Madrid last March 2012.

This is one of the things I love in Germany, the many festivals all year round. The Dultfest in Regensburg is like little Oktoberfest. It is actually celebrated twice a year, in spring and autumn. Like  many other German festivals, there are always carnival rides  of  all kinds, beer tents,  souvenir kiosks and yes German foods and beers. One thing I also love  at Regensburger Dultfest are the different  stores that sells various products and merchandise located just very near to  the festival ground.

Regensburg is a city in  Bavaria, Germany. It is a beautiful city which is listed in  UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2006.

Here are some images I took during one of  my visits to the Dultfest.
