City Travel Tips

There are many different ways to enjoy Victoria Harbour but if you just want a cheap option take one of the Ferries from Central to Kowloon. It's cheap and you get a great view over both sides of the harbour. The ferry boats are cute and old school enough to make you love them. You could also do more touristy options like a Junket but that will cost more.

Yamato Sushi is on Davie Street (616 Davie Street to be precise) is great. Affordable, yummy and quick. The place is tiny so if you want to eat in its cosy. Cosy in a fun way. Take out is the norm but anything goes.

Always fresh.

Vancouver Bus drivers are on the whole rude and don't care if you are running for the door, they will probably drive off. Some are really nice but on the whole it isn't great. Also know if you need a ticket you won't get change on the bus and if you overpay there is no refund. So best to buy tickets before you get on or have a selection of change to use.

Splitz Grill is on Main St somewhere around 27th Ave. It is one of the best Burgers I have had. The portions are generous, the 'special Plitz Sauce' is worth ordering and the staff are great. It has a nice old school feel to it. The other thing to keep in mind is that they are affordable. They have a lunch meal special for meat lovers or vegetarians which is about $5 for a burger and drink.

So, if you are in Vancouver, and are travelling down Main St then get your self into Splitz Grill for some nom nom noms.

If you plan on renting accommodation during your stay in Turkey then you should consider staying in an area that is really popular with tourists. You'll save money by doing this because the busier the area the more competition there is for your custom, which brings the prices down for you. Popular areas in Turkey that have accommodation at competitive rates include Kalkan, Bodrum, Marmaris and Kas.

You can research accommodation prices at several sites such as http://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/lettings/turkey/lycian-turquoise-coast/...

Had an Artigianos coffee this morning from Caffe Artigiano. Very tasty and highly recommended if you find Starbucks coffee a little milky. There are a few around Vancouver. I went to the one one on Granville Street. I have been told Blenz is nice as well but have not tried it.

Went to Bathers Pavilion in Sydney on Balmoral Beach. Firstly the location of the Restaurant is beautiful. Right on the beach. I gather it is an old change rooms building or similar which has been turned into a Restaurant.

There are two sides to the restaurant. One is a more formal dining restaurant and the other is more of a Cafe. We had breakfast in the cafe and dinner and it really was awesome. Nice food, great ambiance and how can you not love being on the waters edge.

I went to stay with family recently in Burnaby which is a suburb in Vancouver. Near his house there is an amazing little Sushi restaurant called Asa Sushi. It isn't really a Japanese Restaurant, more like a takeaway place that has some stools and tables if you wanted to eat there.

Anyway the point is it was the best value sushi in Vancouver, in fact anywhere I have ever traveled to. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I think there is more than one Asa Sushi Restaurant in Vancouver but this is in Burnaby.

I went out to dinner in Vancouver last night. On the recommendation of friends we tried Vij's Fusion Indian Restaurant. To say it was great would be an understatement.

We had to wait an hour to get a table and they don't take bookings. But the wait was easy to pass with a drink in the bar and they bring around tasters to keep your appetite in check. A very nice touch. Once seated the food is timely and tasty with other small inclusions like Naan bread as standard. The atmosphere of Vij's was buzzing and the service was brilliant.

If you are traveling to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver then you will probably be looking for accommodation. This website offers rental listings for people seeking to rent their house out or for people who are looking for accommodation. Whether it be a house, flat, condo or similar. 2010 Home rentals are an awesome way to make some serious cash during the Olympics.

Thought it might be useful.

If you are staying in Kowloon or on Hong Kong Island it can be nice to get the bus from Central (although you can get it from other places also) to Stanley Markets which is on the back side of the Island. It takes a wee while to get there and you will go up and over some decent hills but once there you can indulge in a little shopping by the water.

Buses are 6, 6A, 6X or 260 from the Exchange Square bus terminus which is in Central. Taxi is also an option if you like to pay more.

There are a couple of ways to get up to The Peak in Hong Kong. One is bus, another is Cab or car but the best was is the Tram. Very steep and just great fun.

"All tickets are sold at Garden Road Peak Tram Lower Terminus or appointed travel agents.
Peak Tram Upper Terminus (The Peak Tower) sells Peak Tram tickets (Return & Single) only."

So I know I said Maketu Pies were good but since then I have tried a fair few more. One of the latest award winning Pie shops (cause you can't have enough pie shops) is Patricks Pies in the Bethlehem strip mall. Mince and Cheese = YUM.

Grindz in Tauranga on 1st Ave make great food but best of all awesome coffee. They also sell coffee beans or ground from Fusion but I always get a fresh flat white in the morning.

Catellis Motel & Conference Centre in Taupo is a place I found online when planning a trip to Taupo to go skiing and hang out with family. It won a trip advisor award and another award for best place to stay. They told us they are moving through the rooms redecorating which is a good thing as while the rooms are fine and you can't complain it will be even nicer with a fresh lick of new. The rooms were a good size, the place clean and pleasant and they have all the mod-cons.

Big Ben is an awesome photo opportunity. It's one of the landmarks in London that you just need to get a photo next to. Whether you are holding it, standing next to it or pretending to lean on it it is like all major city attractions similar including The Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The good thing if you are visiting Big Ben is that is, of course, attached to the end of Parliament House and Buildings so there is a lot more to see in the area other than just Big Ben. A great sightseeing spot and highly recommended...nicer on a sunny day of course.

London Pubs and Bars are smoke free. So don't smoke in them.

Greenwich is a town on the south bank of the Thames. You can get to it by DLR (Docklands light rail) or Ferry down the Thames. I think the nicest way to see it is by ferry but this costs a little more. One option by DLR is to get the Tube to Tower Hill and walk to the DLR station from there. There are other ways but this is how I did it.

Imagine abseiling in to a cave, taking an underground 'flying fox' even further and then jumping on a black inner tube with a wetsuit on and finish it with a bit of walking through caves older than your grandma. That is the awesomeness of black water rafting. I only know of it in Waitom, New Zealand but it may be in other places or countries.

Nothing freaky about this, just bloody good fun.

Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to do as a tourist in Mt Maunganui or Tauranga. One of the best things you can do if the weather permits is walk around "The Mount" or Mt Maunganui as it is formally called. It really is a nice walk and the scenery is fabulous. If you have the energy then walk up The Mount. It is not that far but does require some level of basic fitness. The view at the top is brilliant and you can see across Mt Maunganui, Tauranga and Matakana Island.

If you are in Vancouver there is a really nice little Sushi place on Denman St. It is the kind of place you could walk past being quite narrow with only a few tables but Denman St isn't that long so it is fairly easy to find. It is nearer the beach than the Stanly Park side of things.

Sushi is widely available in Vancouver. There are plenty of Sushi Restaurants but this is a good choice.

If you are wanting to go and see Buckingham Palace then Green Park Tube station is the closest Tube station. St James is also quite close but most people are already on the Piccadilly Line (the blue one).

My favourite way to get there is to walk down from Leicester Square, through Trafalgar Sq and then all the way down the Mall which looks straight at the Buckingham Palace. This is a much longer walk but is very rewarding.
