One of the oldest and most famous art museums in the world, the Uffizi is home to Italy’s largest and most impressive art collection. The name of the museum, Italian for the word “offices,” comes from the palace’s original use as an office building, designed by the great Giorgio Vasari for aristocrat Cosimo I de’ Medici. It was then used to display the Medici family’s large collection of paintings and sculptures and, thus, the Uffizi was born. Highlights of the museum’s works include the Madonna of the Goldfinch by Raphael (recently renovated), the Birth of Venus and Primavera by Sandro Botticelli, Battle of San Romano by Paolo Uccello, Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, Titian’s Venus of Urbino Bacchus by Caravaggio. For a truly unique experience, book a private tour of the Vasari Corridor, the art-filled secret passage over the Ponte Vecchio that links the Uffizi to the Palazzo Pitti.

The island of Kos is one of Greece’s most charming. It has beaches laden with all sorts of fun stuff, like windsurfing on Mastichari Beach, and waterfront bars at Lambi Mylos Beach, as well as quiet sheltered coves you can only get to by boat. Kos Town is very much the heart of the island action and a great place to unwind, but if you’re there, make time for historical sights like Asklepieion – an unusual early medical centre dedicated to the Greek god of health.

Dutch readers : Een van de grootste havens van de Middellandse Zee, Marseille is een plaats van komen en gaan eeuwenlang.

Een bezoek aan Barcelona zonder getuige te zijn van de bovenaardse ontwerpen van Antoni Gaud? zou een misdaad zijn. Het werk van het boegbeeld van het Catalaans modernisme is symbolisch geworden voor de stad waar hij in 1852 werd geboren. Gaudi’s fantastische kathedraal in gotische stijl, de Sagrada Familia, is een van de grootste attracties van Barcelona. Deze nog steeds niet voltooide kathedraal is anders dan alles wat je ooit hebt gezien, met een interieur dat is ontworpen om op een bos te lijken. Overal in de structuur zijn grillige wenteltrappen, prachtig glas in lood, klokkentorens en bruggen. Een andere must-see van Gaudi is de buitenkant van Casa Mila, ook bekend als La Pedrera, een bochtig appartementencomplex dat eruitziet als iets uit ‘The Hobbit’. Ook een bezoekje waard is Casa Batllo, de kleurrijke allegorie van Gaudi, van de legende van de draak-slayer St. George, compleet met een draakachtige weegschaal. De meest opvallende eigenschap van de basiliek van Marseille van Notre Dame de La Garde is het 30 voet goud standbeeld van de Maagd Maria (zittend op een 180-foot bell tower / belfort) beschermend uitkijkend over haar stad. Locals noemen haar la bonne p?re of “de goede moeder”. De moza?eken van de Romeins-Byzantijnse kerk werden in 2008 gerestaureerd na jarenlange schade door kaarsenrook en de impact van kogels tijdens de bevrijding van Marseille in 1944. Kogelgaten uit de strijd zijn nog steeds zichtbaar op de noordgevel van de basiliek.

Nepal base trekking camp 2019

The Langtang Region, home to Langtang National Park, is an incredible area for hiking, with some high passes, extensive views, old monasteries, and beautiful mountain scenery with rhododendron forests that bloom during the spring hiking season. It is less developed than some of the other popular trekking areas in Nepal and generally less busy on the trails, despite its close proximity to Kathmandu. There are villages with guesthouses and food all along the route, although somewhat more spread out than in other trekking regions. This area can be reached easily from Kathmandu by jeep in seven to eight hours, making it extremely convenient, with no flights required. On a clear day, the peak of Langtang Lirung (7,245 meters), which dominates the surrounding area of the same name, is visible from Kathmandu. Trekking lengths and duration range from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the routing. Some trekkers combine Helambu and Langtang for a longer trek.

Top advices : On your way to Namche Bazaar, Stop for lunch at Jorsale just past the suspension bridge. it is the final place for any food or water until Namche which is 2 hours straight up! You will need your energy for this climb.

Train and prepare: The trek to Everest Base Camp is a stunning walk through the world famous trail to Mount Everest. It is not a technical climb; you do not need to have any previous technical climbing experience or even any altitude experience to complete the trek. However, you do need to be physically fit and have excellent strength, conditioning and endurance to be able to complete the trek and to fully enjoy the journey. If you have not trained your body to withstand the pressures of constant strain at high altitude, you will find it a very difficult task to complete the trek, risking your and other people’s safety. I would recommend that you spend at least four days a week doing some sort of intense physical exercise for approximately six to eight months prior to your starting date of your trek. Personally, I would have spent at least four days a week either walking up hill on a treadmill or walking on a stair-master (stair master is best) for one hour to two hours building up to 10 kilos (22lbs) in a backpack on my back. I have always been lucky and lived in a place where I had access to hills to train on the weekends, and I found that this was the greatest training I could get for trekking. I would spend at least one day a week out in the hills or mountains for at least a 4 hour walk and up to 7 hours in a row. Extra info at Trekking in Nepal.

We recommend : Pack a book. Trekking to base camp takes several days and it can get a little boring at times. You may only have the energy to lay in bed and read a book, so bring a good one. You can buy books in Kathmandu and at Namche Bazaar. We recommend Lonely Planet’s Trekking in the Himalayas. and National Geographic’s Everest Region Adventure Map.

Take Care of Your Feet – Bad blisters can end a trek just as easily as altitude sickness. I recommend brining some duct tape or moleskin and treating as soon as you start to feel discomfort and not after it becomes an actual blister. Getting a Good Night’s Rest – You will probably be surprised at how comfortable the tea houses are on the trek but the bedroom walls are thin and noise carries quite easily. If you’re a light sleeper I recommend bring some foam ear plugs for a good night’s sleep. While it might be warm trekking during the day its definetly cold at night so make sure you have a warm sleeping bag and thermals. The sleeping bags we rent are -20C and plenty warm.
