Bored of the Beach?


With the holiday season in full flow many people have now stopped worrying about the bikini diet and are looking forward to their impending holiday.  For some, two weeks of pure sun and relaxation on a beach is the perfect holiday, but others want to do a bit more with their time off.
Going abroad for the summer is a great opportunity to experience some of the amazing culture and different traditions that other countries have to offer. What better way to experience this first hand rather than looking at what the internet or travel brochures have to offer.
If you are looking for an alternative and interesting way to spend your summer, here are a few of our favourite ideas:
·         Try a walking Safari in Zambia, where you can feel, smell and hear the wildlife instead of just seeing it.
·         Go in through the knees at the Corpus Museum of the Human Body in Amsterdam and come out at the eyes. See what really goes on inside the human body.
·         Take the Stockholm Ghost Tour if you dare and visit some of the most haunted streets in history.
·         See the Ice Man in Bolzano, Italy where legend has it that he fell asleep almost 5,000 years ago and got covered by ice.
·         Take a different kind of museum tour in Paris at the museum of sewers.
·         Get hands on with the wildlife at Paul’s Place, Kangaroo Island in Australia.
·         Experience an underwater adventure at the Utter Inn (Otter Inn) in Sweden, where the fish will be the other hotel guests.
·         Try your hand at Brazilian cooking in Rio de Janeiro and impress your friends and family back home.
·         Go deep into the beautiful caves at Waitomo, New Zealand which are covered in glow worms.
·         For a bit of different beauty therapy, go to the noodle baths in Tokyo where the noodle soup is believed to be great for the skin.

Make sure that before you set off on your holiday that your travel insurance covers you for any activities that you wish to take part in. Then all you need to do is prepare yourself for the wonders that await you on your travels.
