Japon Story: From castles, flowers and bridges

I have several attractions, but the key is felt from that off the train and walk across the bridges, the narrow shopping streets and old quarters, which keep the air with freshness of old. Besides the village festivals carefully prepared in October, where floats and costumes people are added to celebrate the spirit that remains in the village. Local people very friendly and varied services, although the city is visited by Takayama pequeña.Desde day Kamikochi National Park, which gives the opportunity to make some trails. Few accommodations are in this park and is only recommended for those who like hiking and nature, with few amenities.

You can make good trails during the day and find lodging sparingly. In addition, Japan's full of people visiting the park, which is very popular among locals. Since I also visited Takayama Matsumoto, a city located two hours in Nagano Prefecture, which has varied accommodations and many amenities. Without doubt, the attraction is the castle of Matsumoto, considered a national treasure and visit more than recommended when visiting this part of Japan, if only for one hour to visit the castle.

The castle has 6 floors and is ascended by a narrow wooden stairs, who shake their legs and get some balance to the steepness of each step of the stairs. Amazing that this building is maintained despite the fragility of the materials observed inside the wood dated, and structures that are preserved while the outside looks so tough and served as a military fortress against invasion. Sorry did not last long journey and return to Tokyo from Matsumoto only took three hours. Walking distance to such contrasting impressions. Well, the story is short but it sure says a lot more pictures

Nueva York, Estados Unidos

We had hired a trip from Spain, we are very supportive of guided tours, but it's pretty advise, especially the first day if possible, so you get an idea of ​​what the city and you fit much better the other day. The tour was called "Upper and Lower Manhattan" and for about 4 hours, you got around by bus around the district, making some stops in the most important. Days later, another trip would realize highly recommended called "Contrasts", helps you learn more the other boroughs of New York, but this I will discuss in later chapters.I remember during the tour of the district of Manhattan, we made countless photographs, the streets were deserted as it was half past 9 am on a Saturday and had not much movement. Quite surprising to see the streets as well, as you are in New York, expect to see the streets crowded and noisy, but apparently there also rest ...The bus left from the agency which hired the tour, was very close to Times Square, in theory ofertaban excursions for Latinos, Spanish and Italian, but almost everything explained in Italian but there were many more Spanish as in our case, however, we were a little like we were going to our roll ...After spending "magazine", the bus departed north toward Central Park, where we ran into this immense park completely snowed in the middle of cement, a beautiful picture, we began to surround, to the building where John Lennon was killed, to the Museum of Art where they filmed the movie "Night at the Museum". And the famous Fifth Avenue to the south, through the Rockefeler Center, Times Square, Empire State Building, Flatiron (building known as the Iron for its triangular shape), take the Broadway Avenue, heading up the financial district, through the viewpoint is located across from the World Trade Center, where moles are building new high-rise. Being in that viewpoint, you form some idea of ​​what happened there this Sept. 11, noting the magnitude of ground zero and the many tributes and memories that are there.After the tour, we were fully placed to undertake the adventure alone, it is noteworthy that a city is not at all complicated, built in squares, it is impossible to miss, also thanks to the nomenclature of the streets (for numbers and correlative ) makes it easy to navigate through it.The first thing was to eat, restaurants, bars and all kinds of venues for lunch and dinner, although the food and drink is the most expensive of the trip if you do not settle for everyday eating burgers and dogs. The truth is that we did not eat hot dogs than in those who had stalls at every corner ...After filling the stomach, direct purchases because as I said before, went without any clothes! We started by Macy's which is very close to Times Square. I have understood that it is the second largest mall in the world, second only to the Dubai Mall. The truth is that is immense and does not find there, you will not find anywhere else. Upon entering, we headed to the information center, where presenting the passport, you got a card that you served for a week (I think) and made you 11% discount on every purchase we would make during that time. A bargain, because between the prices much cheaper than in Spain, the winter sales, the discount of 11% and currency exchange, bought jerseys Tommy, Ralph Lauren and Levi's for example, at 20 euros each even less. Well, after having hit the first homer of the visa, we ended the day by dining in Times Square, in a restaurant with giant screens where several televised NBA games simultaneously and where I was charged $ 7 for a beer, lol, like cost me three of Calvin Klein underwear.

Testimonio de chile travel

Santiago is a city where colonial buildings cohabit Captaincy of Chile with modern glass and steel buildings, shopping centers, urban folklore relentless rhythms and street vendors, all presented in this city, every day, offering their services to tourists and pleasant company.
Throughout its history the city has been severely damaged by earthquakes, relatively frequently, affecting the region such as the 1647, 1657, 1688 and 1730. Two of them were of prime importance as forced, Santiago, to renew its architecture and make way for a pioneering city that enjoys the advantage of being escorted by the immensity of the Andes and located on the banks of the Mapocho, a river is formed from the melting of the Andean peaks and divides the city into two.
His early ...
Santiago began its history in 1541 when the Spanish conquistador Pedro Valdivia came to Chile in search of new lands together with their treasures. At that time there were still people with different organizations and systems of life that suited the climate and geography of their habitat. Primitive people were treated, mostly nomads and were devoted mainly to agriculture and livestock as well as the development of fine handcrafted pieces.
In the beginning, the Spanish had to face with such cultures to carry out the relevant conquest, so they used a system of land division, held the Indians in various groups and worked to establish the maximum number of settlers, with the aim of consolidating its presence in the new territory.
The results failed to be positive when they had to deal with the settlements Araucanian who resisted against Spanish rule. The constant wars and battles between rivals for wanting to win the land, were the result of many deaths and major losses for both periods. After years and years of battles, in late 1599, the Spanish were successful. Subsequently, this was known by the name of "War of Arauco."
Agriculture and exploitation of mineral deposits, were the most common practices of these recent settlers. Santiago, La Serena and Concepción were the first cities established practices serving to above. Later, with the addition of new settlers, new urban centers were founded.
Independence comes to Chile in the early nineteenth century, after Napoleon's invasion of Spain and the fall of King Ferdinand VII, the Creoles settled in Santiago a National Government to lead the colony on behalf of the monarch. As a result, started a rebellion between Creoles and Spanish that lasted until 1818, when he was proclaimed the national independence and named Bernardo O'Higgins Supreme Director of the country.
After a long period of anarchy, established a republican regime that was then adapted to changing social, economic and policy governing today.
A walk through the city ...
On a walk through the high sector of Santiago you can see the elegant boutiques of the most important international brands, as well as art galleries, sophisticated home decor, antique jewelry and various businesses.
Further north, in the nightlife takes on significant importance Avenue Sweden, with bars and restaurants on site for rest and recreation as they are accompanied by various green spaces. For a few years the city has the Borderío, a restaurant complex and specialized acclimated in Japanese cuisine, French, Italian, among others. These are chosen by the various tourists who come each year because they can enjoy typical dishes from each country.
Other wonderful places to travel are inevitable Moneda Palace and the Convent of San Francisco of the sixteenth century architectural nation's oldest and cloister which houses the Museum of Colonial Art. The invitation to travel through the pre-colonial past continues in the Pre-Columbian Art Museum, where there are abundant remains of ancient cultures.
An inevitable visit is the National Museum of Natural History, is a state agency that preserves, researches, educates and communicates the knowledge generated by their collections testimonials to promote appreciation and understanding of the biological and cultural diversity of Chile. The Museum, over 100 years, is responsible for safeguarding the national heritage. It depends a great deal of regional museums, which together form a major tourist attraction.
A huge commercial space exhibiting the best products from the countryside and the Pacific kind, focuses on the Central Market. Open daily from early on, people crowd between different vendors in the midst of bustle and the aroma of different food crafts.
Another attraction is the Cerro Santa Lucia, a small hill in the center of the valley, from where you get the most captivating panoramas of the city. On the north side lies the Cerro San Cristobal, with a picturesque old cable car, zoo, swimming pools and sites for the picnic. At his feet lies the Bellavista neighborhood, bohemians shelters with many restaurants, cafes, artists' studios and quaint houses.
As in the design of major Latin American cities, the central train station is the start for the lonely and the starting point to enter the wonderful roads leading into Chile. Outside and to the south of Santiago, the landscape begins to pick up different shades due to intense green orchards that grow on the land first proclaimed by the ambitious conquerors. The walk of trucks loaded with crates of apples or grapes, testify that the fruit is a major export products, so do the wines.
Tours of the vineyards are a mandatory part of a stay in Santiago, both for those who like to drink good wine and for those uninterested in the subject. Around the city, and within it, are some famous wine. The tastings of red and white are common practice in which the traveler will enjoy incredibly.
Adventure Tourism
This fascinating city has several large sports attraction. Venturing exotic paths, horseback riding in the mountains, make settlements at night, are just some of the various alternatives to enjoy.
The most widely practiced is because there are various trekking tours among which the traveler can choose from. Some are full day outdoors, you can enjoy roads and trails that lead to beautiful waterfalls and fresh water rivers are waiting to be navigated by large boats. Trekking levels of difficult-to-moderate range, keep in mind that some are not suitable for those not accustomed to this practice, so it is advised to consult with the leaders before starting the tour.
Other options include horseback riding, exciting excursion that takes place outside the capital in the company of the wonderful landscape of the hills prevailing in the area. About noon, the rest is done halfway, to enjoy a typical barbecue.
The rafting is another fun and adventurous activity. It takes a drop in Maipu River rafting through different obstacles that will jump from emotion to the traveler. The day ends with a farewell dinner at the end with the fall.

X TRAVELING North Korea

When I visited North Korea for the first time, having known all my professional life in many countries, I realized I still had capacity to surprise.

North Korea is different, unique, unusual. What you see is something difficult to explain in a few lines. It is a journey that in some respects, puts us in the 60's in a country with a form of political and social organization very different from ours.

Clearly one of the most interesting of the trip is to see up close the kind of society that currently governs this country, but do not forget to appreciate the ancient culture in many Buddhist monuments and temples, besides its beautiful mountain scenery.

What I can say without a doubt, this visit is that it breaks the conventional travel scheme in which there may be an excellent monumental natural environment more suggestive but in no event exceed the surprise and shock that causes discover North Korea.

Tony Wheeler (founder of Lonely PlanetGuidebooks ©, one of the most prestigious publishers and experience in the tourism sector) said in an interview that North Korea "is arguably one of the most unusual of the earth

TRAVELLING X PARIS c'est magnifique

here we waited for my friend Adriana (namesake of mine by the way), who is also Colombian, living in the center of Paris and was our guide in our day stay in a city where all we knew was saying in French: bonjour (yes, all not to continue with my French classes jajajajaja). We arrived at the "Gare du Nord" in the night, had a cold climate but added to that, he came to our mind the movie "Taken" because just at that season, were men of great size, dark-skinned or other light-skinned but their faces and eyes expressing all kinds of bad things! I remember my sister took my arm tightly when one of them approached us to say God knows everything in French but the only thing my sister and I said very clearly in Spanish was a strong NO THANKS! hahaha ... in the distance and an angel from heaven, my friend and saw the pale color of our faces (with shock) left turning pink again .... We asked my friend who were those people and confirmed our suspicions: the vast majority are engaged in illegal work ... On the way home from my friend, we began to see the wonders of Paris as the Eiffel Tower, the Opera, the famous Avenue des Champs-Elysees and Arc de Triomphe ... for us, and ceased to be images of the internet and became real landscapes captured by our eyes and minds. The reception: Colombian comidita jajajajaja again, a few glasses of liquor and to bed because the cold and was very strong!. First day, the essentials: my friend was working that day but her husband does not, therefore, the first day took us to the downtown area by car, first stop: the Monument to the Glory, The Eiffel Tower and the River Seine, a few pictures and zaz! elsewhere ... then we move to the Tunnel "Soul of Paris" famously known for the accident that claimed the life eternal Princess of Wales, Lady Di, are two emblems in this place: all the legends that left fans of the Princess and also at the top of the bridge, is "The Flame of Liberty" famously concida elsewhere: The Statue of Liberty in New York (U.S.), if ladies and gentlemen, that flame is in such famous bridge is an exact replica of the flame erect in his arm has the beautiful gift of the French statue in commemoration of 100 years of the Declaration of Independence of the power in the world (so they say hahahaha). Our journey continued for other beautiful places of the capital: the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower lit, the Obelisk de la Concorde, the Palais Garnier famously known as the Paris Opera and the Madeleine Church, then to house to rest for the adventure that was!. Second day, Museum of Louvre: being Sunday, the museum is free, and believe it or not contrary to the parody of the movie Euroviaje censored, the row is not long!, Wait a few minutes and makes the entry, while we wait, take the opportunity to take pictures outside the museum as they are a bit tight inside to stop taking pictures (at least not left that day). After touring the museum, a small part of course, we left for another tour where we find other wonders like the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, the golden statue of Joan of Arc and the gold plates that cover the reflection of the sun, do you stay impacted their beauty ... then we come to another place in the city logo light: the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, beautiful on the outside and inside! Being there, at least my sister and me, reminded us the famous legend of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and more importantly how the inner and the feelings of a person whose physical ... later and already getting dark, there was a small tour where my friend stayed in the car with Dad, while my friend, my sister and I ingresábamos red district of Paris, to find another place in history: Moulin Rouge! Hahahaha, being in that street, allowed us to see beyond the city of love! To my Paris, to see that place, is also the place of passion (I leave to your consideration hahahahahaha) ... finalized and a bit tired and return to my friend's house to prepare for something we've never done: a picnic. Third day: the Palace of Versailles of Louis XIV .... but before coming to make the trip we did something unique in the history of our lives: what family film, we took the car a blanket, inputs and in a green meadow we sat down to enjoy the most delicious French picnic ever lived and is that more than a picnic, was the site took place: the road to the castle, therefore, our landscape background was the castle ... When we finished, we lift everything and keep to begin our tour of this immense place! Since gold enlaminada door, sources with inspirations from Greek mythology and Asian (for dragons) and large gardens, make this palace a space to contemplate and enjoy stepping ... I think we were there for almost 3 hours if there were more ... Fourth day: As my friend and her husband returned to work, the sister of my friend was our guide, but first and unusual, we were not any allegorical Parisian site, our first stop was the Embassy of Colombia in Paris! Hahahahaha, she had to manage something, so I accompanied her and as well, you know, the government delayed proceedings enough! so, after leaving there, we went to lunch and see the day and sunny the Eiffel Tower from below as well, because we fail to climb! hahahaha, however, we take a tour of the Seine River that allowed us a closer look at other beautiful places such as Alexander III bridge where they say you make a wish for love while passing underneath that bridge (not to guess what I did!) and we saw another interesting place is the Musee d'Orsay ... return, the sister of my friend could not take us to the house, however, took the subway to a certain place, from then on we played soloists get to the station where we waited for my friend and behold, a fatal error: stop two Colombian in a Paris metro station where they talked or 5 language! hahaha, luckily we got!

vacations holanda

Free Tour system works they do not charge anything for obligation but in the end the guide tells you value your work yourself and give it a tip according to your pocket. What makes kids be diligent enough that all the world may as well get better for tips. I heard of this company by Martin and all flights were advertising New Europe and several people I passed in hostels also recommended. I did so well the tour of Amsterdam that I regretted not having taken in Madrid, London and Paris, the cities he had visited before where he had discarded. But take them out in every city where I was given. The tour travels Amsterdam: The Old Church, The Red Light District, The Jewish Quarter, the Royal Palace, El Barrio Jordan, Bridge widest and narrowest house, the House of Anne Frank, and more. Also if you have any questions about anything kindly guide you answer it, and even tells you how to get your map. In this tour I found out some curiosities such as the tax charge for the facades, which make the houses are narrow, that all homes have some inclination to climb out the furniture on the outside because the stairs do not fit, several stories about Nazzi occupation in Amsterdam, including Anne Frank and her diary, and the truth about it, the tolerance of the Dutch general information on cannabis, its museum, the amount allowed, the sites where you can smoking it is legal and also on its cheese, tulips. Well as I said before very helpful information, I recommend it 100%. At the end of the tour I went to the hostel to meet with Martin already had time to have arrived. I hope in the room for a while and not see it as we agreed, so I go in search of a supermarket to buy some things to eat and believe in the street as we walked funny, we both stared and said, Thou Mariana you, You are Martin! Hahaha. So viajeros.com unites people in the world. He came to eat. I said I had plans to tour the Red Light District the people of New Europe, as it was the same guy in the morning, I felt great. He would also encourage the tour so we arranged to meet in the common room at 6.15 to go to take the tour that leaves at 6.45pm. In the supermarket I bought a delicious Dutch cheese, a ham, a baguette and a great juice. When we agreed and went by tram to Central Station which was the starting point of this tour. This if you have a price of 12 euros to be paid in cash and in advance to guide. So we left a smaller group than the morning to go walking with Manuel and his stories now about everything related to: Prostitution, Drugs and Sex. It is impressive to see a Latina who are uninhibited to the topic. The girls in their windows offering his services as an honest job, which is exercised by mothers to have union and several benefits that protect them, should have regular medical exams (obviously much sex with anyone), and it is very important that your squaring customers know the price and the services they offer because as experts on the subject, can make men "end up" very fast and earn a few euros in a few minutes. The place where they do right in your case just run their red curtain and voila, no one sees. The preferred position in "four" and not damaged or even make-up and not waste time retocándose to find his next customer. The showcases are listed and there are good rental agency that markets and depends on its location, its height, is block rate schedule, but can cost $ 100 8 hours. That means that work is well paid if you get to pay the cabinet and also to lucrarte. The Red Light District is open 24 hours and most customers are tourists who come to Amsterdam for the fame of these girls. Although the guide told us that there was another red light district with a less conspicuous location where commonly if they were locals. That if, they do not ever take pictures is forbidden and if they catch you they send you to erase with the police and you'll have a hard time. Besides that when you see do not you ever make any comments like: "That fat" or "Look at the striations" read lips in all languages. The most listed are Eastern, but there are all kind and not necessarily with good body and youth is a job that gives to all. The souvenirs in Amsterdam are as diverse as images, mostly oriented sexual figures, or drugs or both. The Sex Shops are also on the agenda and they can see any number of sexual objects for "all" tastes displayed. Of course homosexuals are accepted and respected here and enjoy the sites where they can receive sexual services as well. Sites that offer sex show there are everywhere, many theaters where they live sex and more, with tickets quite expensive. Museums also give room for the sex, and there is the Museum of Sex and the Erotic Museum, the latter including a bicycle with penis chair rather than a demonstration of entering and leaving the doll is sitting across the entry. What is striking about this place is located in the heart of the city and everything that lives with the things mentioned in the daily life of a city, I actually saw a nursery from a display case with prostitutes and sex shop, ahh and in the corner a Coffee Shop. No doubt a fairly liberal culture. Browse this area of ​​the city with a guide who narrates is highly recommended, the tour ends in a bar with a free drink. Made us a tour Jorgelina Argentina also traveling alone. After we were free drink at the bar: she, Manuel (the guide), Martin and me. Taking beers and friendly conversation. Then we went to another site, that Manuel Martin and eat, and then to another bar to continue drinking and talking about things in life. Thus, to Argentina, a Spanish, a Uruguayan and a Venezuelan give 4am in the street, a Saturday night in Amsterdam. I spend that night in a great city so irreverent and with a very good company. Martin and I had to walk back to the hostel because at that time no longer worked the tram, and there he saw another advantage to stay in the same hostel as if it had not been alone so late I'm taking for fear of returning unaccompanied . On the way back to the hostel could not stand their feet and literally walk me Amsterdam. The next day I woke up two huge blisters on each of the soles of my feet hurt me too much and the worst thing I had trouble walking, which terrified me because I had a long journey ahead. He still had much to walk. After a bathroom which in turn served to wake me down to have breakfast and plan to do that day. Martin would take the free tour I take the day before so we would see where it ended so I had time before to do something else, but my feet would not let me move so I opt for a boat ride through the canals of Amsterdam cost me 9 euros and 1 hour drive. The ride was pretty good, saw the city from another perspective and not have to walk. I met with Martin and Jorgelina ends at the point where the free tour, and they had decided to go to "Heineken Experience" 15 euro entry is in the original Heineken factory where you get an explanation of the beer, put you in simulator and give you samples if you love anime you sure the beer, but it was not my case, so we parted. Since that evening I left for my next destination. It was about 3pm and I still had about 3 hours to tour the city, of course with intense pain in every step. That Sunday also celebrated Mother's Day here in Venezuela, so before I desheredaran look from where you call to speak with my grandmother and my aunts, buy a souvenir and enter a museum. Return to the inn, rest a while my feet, the bladders were large and painful, I ate a baguette with a delicious Dutch cheese, thinking that this cheese only made him miss a arepita warm with butter. (Venezuelans understand me). At 7.30pm I went to Amstel Station this time it the right way, and left my 8.30pm bus to Berlin! Amsterdam certainly left me very good memories and I'm glad I visited a city so irreverent, tolerant, and unlike any other and turned the objective checked first hand that everything they told me for the reality fell short of the city crazy.

Travel Italia DE SIENA A POMPEYA

TRIP TO THE LEAST KNOWN TOUR IN ITALY SIENA TO POMPEII In our vacation We usually make a stop on the way to, if possible, swim at the beach. After the failure of Borghetto, we decided to find a campsite near a secluded beach, which we hoped would be free of crowds. Our first intention had been to visit the island of Elba ... but the rate of Ferry with our vehicle was fired on board ... we were willing to pay those fees even though we seemed exaggerated, if we had planned to enjoy a minimum of one week ... but to stay three days ... we discarded-see-this year we were conditioned by some family obligations that forced us to distribute more carefully the length of stay. So we decided to move near Orbetello, we found a beautiful Giannella on the road, en route to Porto Santo Stefano in the Tyrrhenian Sea. We spend three nights here, dedicate one morning to visit Porto Santo Stefano, from which port the ferry leaves the island of Giglio (sadly, now so fashionable with the sinking of the Costa Concordia semi) With regard to this unfortunate event, let me comment ... I have the impression (and I would be wrong) that the shipping companies pay more attention to the qualities of "showman" of the Captains of these cruises that seafaring experience and capability. I wonder if our friend Mario D'Ambrosio has been Captain of Cruise, will be of the same opinion ... I have also seen occasionally Hotel Directors acting in the holidays that are organized in some Resorts and asked myself ... run the Hotel or ballet? Finally, my deepest condolences to the families of the deceased. The campsite is located on a narrow spit of land between two seas. One day, during our stay, there arose a strong wind swept a tide of algae, twigs and reeds on the shore. The next day it was difficult to sit on clean sand. A municipal employee or camping, I have not clear, tried unsuccessfully to clean a stretch of beach. So we decided to visit Porto San Stefano. A bus line we moved to this town with important Spanish reminiscences. A Castle at this time, stands defiantly on a promontory in the center of town. Most interestingly, the port was thick with all types of yachts. As I said, is a regular ferry constantly came to the island of Giglio, we went to the offices of the Carrier for times and fares ... we were hesitant to make the crossing, but other than that it was clear we could find in Giglio, the return schedules did not match the one bus that afternoon we could take back to the campsite. At night, there were activities at the campsite ... I love to observe the candor of couples who voluntarily submit to ridiculous dance competitions, holding a ball between each pair in the front, etc.. This also makes me wonder is the grace of the Italians dancing ... although, a couple-I-center American venture, started the biggest applause. On the fourth day we left and Tarquinia way we stopped at Orbetello, a town in the second language of the land of the three that make up this rare set, the third is a Natural Park. The town of Orbetello surprised by how extensive it becomes, when the plane presupposes a narrow misleading. The truth is that not very interesting. We arrived at Tarquinia, parked with difficulty between the bus stops at the entrance to the town and went to the Tourist Office. There a lovely young woman, my requirements if you find where to park near the Etruscan necropolis, I said better to park within the walled town and I moved on foot to the Etruscan Tombs area. Not in my worst dreams could have imagined worse torture. I walked through the narrow gate in the wall looking for the Parquin indicated by the girl and possibly mistaken the door, the fact is that I got caught with my camper of 7 meters in a diabolical web of narrow streets and impossible to turn in desperation, I decided to do ignore the prohibitions and do a stretch in the wrong way and finally, in a slightly wider intersection, turn around and go back to L and in the proper direction, yet I had to make one last spin a wheel half support climbing a stone basin in a corner properly protected the house. I do not want this torture to anyone, especially with the little faith that my wife was able to solve that problem. What was clear is that none of the population was willing to lend a hand ... maybe because my situation was too common ... and worst of all is that on the outside of the Etruscan area had space left over for parking. Besides the walk from the walled city population was just under half an hour. My wife trembled at my reaction to the possibility of further visits to the Tombs was a failure. Fortunately not, because the visit, I assure you, it's worth ... the tombs scattered over a wide area, are of great variety and quality of the pictures ... it seems extraordinary that in the Necropolis of Tarquinia Monterozzi also known there are some 6,000 graves excavated in the rock, within niches. We visited about 12 of the 200 niches decorated with paintings. These represent among others, Panther, Bulls, Hunting, Fishing, Lioness, Baron, Jugglers, Hunter, Aegis and is a very curious and obviously, not recommended ... called "whipping", a woman in an erotic game is hit by two men, one hits her with a stick and one hand. Dating from the eighth century and sixth BC. In the Tomb of Orcus can admire two highly contrasting images, one, the Monna Lisa considered in antiquity, the image of the noble and beautiful Velcha Velia and the other, something very rare in Etruscan tombs, the "say, the devil" Tuchulcha certainly unrelated to the Christian devil. He said, unusual, and that the Etruscans did not like to paint in their graves anything but pleasant or pretty. They painted the background a door that was supposed to spend the next world. The Etruscans inhabited the area between the rivers Arno and Tiber for about 1000 years, until they were absorbed by Rome. Both the necropolis of Tarquinia and Cerveteri are World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We finished the visit to Tarquinia crossing some of its medieval streets and the Palace Vitelleschi that contains the National Museum, with part of what was found in the Etruscan area. It contains some precious works, as two beautiful terracotta winged horses and paintings from the tomb of Triclino (480 a) and some amazing, as an extensive collection of highly erotic motif dishes. I will not expand further in talking about the Etruscans, because I still Cerveteri. Cerveteri is not far from Tarquinia. The type of tombs can be seen here are completely different. Here are some clusters on the surface. Apart from a couple of them, the paintings are rare, but not without interest, plus at most are allowed ... we visited them a rainy day and maybe this is almost the only visitors were ... produced a certain chill lonely walk between these stone beds, some with a chair also at the head stone for those who were to accompany the bodies ... I will not expand more in Cerveteri as possibly repeat what was said in Tarquinia, which does not mean you have less importance . It is also a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. From here and although we visited Rome several times, succumb to temptation and we move one day to the Italian capital. But first, since it was late, spent the night in a special parking for motorhomes near the sea. That gave us time to get an idea of ​​how some Roman families vacationed. The beach was infamous and sad atmosphere. Step page, but believe me, look at the photograph of the Bar, which attached. Parked well away from the center of Rome, in an area (not cheap) rather motorhomes designed to save during the winter to serve the way, but this is what you get (there was nothing better) and bus ... then underground to get downtown, past the stalls of "ladies" ... Rome, as always overwhelming, we decided to go over four things ... take a fresh look to the Vatican and then walk we approach the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, stunning them. We continue to the monument to Victor Manuelle II, the "wedding cake" as a little contemptuously call the Romans. This and the attached church, apart from on recharging, worth a visit we had spared them. Just, approaching the monumental Colosseum and the Arch of Trajan ... I think, as we are adding years, acquired a different perspective on things, I would say that we identify better with his age and beauty of the monuments, I remember my first visit to Rome and I have in mind that I have gotten where Roman women? ... one thing at a time ... Back on the Highway and south ... We found a campsite just opposite the entrance to Pompeii. Naples remembered as a chaotic and uncertain, I remember I parked in a huge square in the center of town and went into a hotel to apply the same square room and when I told them I had left my wife looking after the car burst hands to his head and ran to the bell guard and bring the car to a garage of confidence ... I assure you it is true. With these memories, they will view that we prefer to go directly to Pompeii. Indeed, the ring road is chaotic, with half extended pieces ... guess that the Camorra's interests were affected and no further works were interrupted ... the look is drop ... even detour signs have been damaged ... we said few years ago, "Spain is different" but I say that Naples is still the "same". Such is the density of land use in this area I asked at the reception of the campsite, from where he could see the ocean and the bay of Naples and after thinking man told me about 20 miles away, near Sorrento ... Camping In Bar announced that by order, made the "Vera Pizza Napoletana" is supposed to the best tomatoes in the world ... the San Marzano ... true, gentlemen, say that the lava of Vesuvius filtered water and gives this exquisite flavor these tomatoes ... some compare it to the best black chocolate ... well, if you say, it may be so, for the color blind ... well, apart from these (pardon me) crap ... the pizza I ordered was "Pompeian and divine" and that that not wearing anything other than "tomato" ... of course ... of San Marzano! Well, let's visit to Pompeii ... my lady came and found nothing predisposed to always announce the ... "the wonderful murals" or bodies "petrified" of ancient Pompeii ... true that all this, what could we saved from the violence of the inhabitants of the area, is guarded in museums. However, if one is able to walk among the crowd of visitors, abstract and imagine those streets in his time ... is a joy. The sleeping city, the 24 August 79 AD was the almost instant Asphyxiating of Vesuvius and left everyone in the positions that were found, the ash covered them back and immortalized these poor people ... But it is something on the site of Pompeii, remains something left and behind bars, the figure of a dog dying, upside down ... not a bad sign indicating if authentic, other human bodies on shelves face the same fate ... what bother to tell ... in the brothel (brothel) images painted on the entrance of each room are eloquent enough of what the girl was willing to provide ... Do not think that Pompeii is free of other attractions, theater, the Baths, the Forum and some houses with remains of mosaics are real beauties among which the House of the Faun. I leave you with a thought ... Pompeii everyone leaves a lasting memory ... I, as I am a "damn" I can not stop associating the sound of a siren alarm was triggered in somewhere and who accompanied us and "gratified" by almost all the way ... where were the keys to get in and stop it?

TRAVEL TO ECUADOR

I have been fortunate enough to travel in Ecuador and found a model of ideal holiday trip and rest in their hotels for me. The mood of the traveler friendly with the environment and local people, deep knowledge of culture and its people, the balanced distribution of benefits in the area and a model away from traditional paternalistic charity, called me to begin this journey. In short, a trip away from the model idle tourist, but full of kindness and warmth, vitality and healthy life styles in real harmony and real quality of life. Beyond the rhetoric, is the sweet sensation without charity work but with fairness and justice. Its people give us something priceless and our resolve symbolic financial contribution and promotes harmonious community development through educational processes and improvements in infrastructure, while enabling the possibility of new jobs and basic health resources. This journey makes us reflect on our European way of life, and concepts that so loftily enarbolamos as having the best style of life of the first civilized powers. Now greatly downplayed the significance of words such as development, quality of life, poverty, community, participation, progress, human relations, values ​​... I remember the fifth day, I felt I already had it written off, even though many days waiting for me as beautiful. The image of the cottage where we spent the night on the river, away hours of the closest towns, amid lush vegetation, waterfalls that came together in extremely pure water, and whose holdings taught thousands of seeds that their brightness gave sparkling touch of natural luxury that is lacking in hotels with spa and 5 star device. This scenario is embroidered with the company of our Indian guides kindly sharing songs and experiences with us at night and light a fire to cook some serving freshly caught fish. That day, a large part of my life unforgettable sensations. Even today, I just remember the place being generated and it gives me an occasional sigh. Ground to believe that the knowledge of experience so special and rare as those contained in this trip is a sign that life offers us a few / as. About us / as dependent: live it, share it, delay it or let it go forever. I feel extremely fortunate to have lived it and now I have an ethical duty to encourage those who know, believe or suspect that there may be just different ways of approaching other realities and want to go into them
