However, you can take the E100 bus at Al Ghubaiba Bus Station to Abu Dhabi Central Bus station for AED25. The buses are clean and comfortable with complimentary WiFi services.

Where to stay:

Downtown Abu Dhabi, the city centre bustling with numerous activities is where most visitors stay. Most hotels, malls and parks are located within the city centre. There are various hotels ranging from 3 to 5 star hotels within the neighbourhood and easy access to transportation to connect other parts of the city.

Abu Dhabi currently does not have a rail system, therefore taxi is the best option for visitors who wish to move around  the city. There are metered taxis with reasonably cheap fares compared to other parts of the world. ....... keep reading .....  http://bit.ly/2lYYWwB

Florida's Space Coast offer out-of-this-world Outdoor adventures

(BPT) -

When winter cold and snow force you indoors, you might dream of getting away to somewhere warm and sunny that offers plenty of energizing fun and a much-needed change in the weather. Planning for your spring and summer vacations is a great way to score some budget-friendly deals. It also helps you beat the winter blues by giving you something to look forward to.
But where to go, you might ask. One great option is Florida's Space Coast, a destination that, while renowned for its ties to the U.S. space program, also offers an astonishing abundance of adventure-filled, outdoor vacation activities.
If you're starting to explore your spring or summer vacation possibilities, here are some can't-miss things to do that make the Space Coast an out-of-this-world destination:
* Take a nighttime "bioluminescence" kayak tour along the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge or Cocoa Beach. These tours allow you to get up close and personal with some of the glowing creatures who magnificently inhabit the waters along Florida's Space Coast.
* With so many great beaches, the area is an ideal destination for surfers and other water sports enthusiasts. Here, you can visit the flagship Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach - a 52,000-square-foot, multilevel store offering a huge selection of surf boards, swimming attire and other surf-brand apparel. Meanwhile, at the nearby Ron Jon Surf School, you can arrange a surfing lesson or even rent a paddleboard.
* Immerse yourself in nature at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, a 140,000-acre park that is home to at least 1,500 species of plants and animals, including alligators, manatees and a wide variety of birds. If the time of year is right, you can also take a guided nighttime Turtle Walk to observe sea turtles as they lay their eggs.
* The region is a paradise for birds, making it the perfect place to host the annual Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival, normally held early in the year. Bird-watching, or "birding," is just part of the fun at the festival, which also offers entertainment, unique dining experiences, special events and more.
* In Titusville, sign up for a Coast-to-Coast Bike Tour and get an up-close view of the region's vibrant wildlife areas and historic sites. Or, for an epic ride, venture out on your own along the Coast-to-Coast Connector Bike Trail.
* Get your adrenaline pumping with a zip line aerial tour. Brevard Zoo's Treetop Trek allows you to zip line, crawl or climb your way through acre after acre of lush Florida landscape.
* The Space Coast is one of the few places you can personally witness a rocket launching into space, and it is breathtaking. Rockets carrying satellites into orbit or transporting cargo to the International Space Station launch periodically throughout the year. You can find the launch schedule at SpaceCoastLaunches.com.

Italy is The Best Place to Travel in with kids

Share by ANDREW

We find that flying into Rome is a great starting point and the best way to find cheap flights is through Skyscanner. From there, one can choose from either using the rail system or to drive. We found that the 1st Class 15-day continuous travel Global Pass from Eurail, and renting a car from Auto Europe Rental are the best options. Both provide the opportunity to be more spontaneous, which most kids, especially the kid in all of us, love.

START IN ROME
Since you are already in Rome, stay two days. I don’t care if you’ve been there multiple times, there’s always so much more to see. As the saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. For a fun and insightful look at what Rome has to offer other than the better-known sites, consider booking a tour with Context Travel. There is one tour in specific named, Building Rome: Evolution of a City.

This specific tour highlights some secondary locations that even frequent travelers to the city don’t often see, such as the Church of Sant’Ivo located on the campus of Sapienza College. Watching the art students fawning over this Baroque masterpiece by Borromini made our 12-year-old daughter, Bailey, appreciate something we didn’t expect her to. Her favorite pit stop, however, is the one made at Giolitti, one of Rome’s traditional gelaterias. Truth be told, it may have been a favorite of the whole group. ....... keep reading ...... http://bit.ly/2kCqLtq

Tongariro Alpine Crossing is the New Zealand's greatest gifts

SHARE BY AISLING O'SULLIVAN

Consistently voted New Zealand's best one-day hike, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is a Kiwi adventure on most people's bucket lists.

But with both the North and South Island boasting equally epic treks, tramps and walks, why join the tourist trail of Tongariro?

Firstly it's not just New Zealand's best single-day hike, it's said to be in the world's top ten. It is also located in the country's oldest national park which has dual World Heritage status for its cultural and natural significance.

A reasonable level of fitness is required for the 19.4km tramp which takes about seven hours. But rest assured, you will be rewarded for your efforts.

The diverse landscape varies from the vast expanses of Mangatepopo Valley to narrow walkways above the Red Crater's steaming vents. Marvel at the dramatic landscape, from the towering cone of Mt Ngauruhoe to the glistening Emerald Lakes...... keep reading ..... http://bit.ly/2lxnTlN
