 Melbourne Life Time Experience

Visit blogadda.com to discover Indian blogs
In March 2014 I traveled to Melbourne along with my friend and it was indeed a life time experience. Melbourne has many great venues, places to watch, learn, inspect, exhibit, show, play, laugh, drive, race, rock and listen. There is so much to see and do in Melbourne, whether you are a local or international visitor. We went to Federation Square, Queen Victoria Market, Eureka Skydeck 88, Great Ocean Road, Melbourne Star, Melbourne Zoo.


Here are my 3 top attractions which I found really as must see places in Melbourne.On the very first day we visited Puffing Billy and Yaara valley. 


Yaara valley is the main attraction of Melbourne.
We only had one day to spend in the Yarra Valley for this Yarra Valley wine tour. We had gourmet lunch inside yaara valley and also visited 4 wineries and also visited the Dairy/ cheese factory. After that we explored the Yarra Valley further and visited the Chocolate factory along with The White Rabbit brewery. It was just great to taste a huge variety of Wines there and surely it was an amazing tour. I would recommend it to every visitor. I think this is one of the best things to do in Melbourne. It has lovely wineries where you can get plenty of wine to taste, the cheese and chocolate tastings are also lovely and the scenery is just fabulous. The wineries, chocolate and cheese factories were great and made the whole day so much fun,
Just a perfect day of wine food and fun. 


The second main attraction is Puffing Billy.Puffing billy is a short but cooling ride on a shaking, noisy, wooden train.The scenery was beautiful and green. 
Nice experience, and something different to do. It is pretty unique experience.The train ride was a very enjoyable experience for us. It was a Wonderful experience from start to end. It was so much fun, especially being able to ride with my legs out the windows.I liked the forest over there, it was really a very nice way to get away from the city and see some classic Melbourne.
I would say that  Australians are really lucky to have something so unique in their backyard.!!!

The Third main attraction is Queen Victoria Market Here one can get fruit and vegetables along with local and imported gourmet foods, meat, fish and poultry to hardware, clothing and authentic Australian souvenirs.
It is a typical market place and one can find everything whatever he/she is looking for. It is great place for a snack or lunch.We just wandered through the market and enjoyed talking to the stall owners.We really had a lot of fun there.So many places to eat, great street entertainment....lots of specialty stores and fresh produce stores. In summer,on every Wednesday evening there is a night market that is set up inside Queen Victoria Market. A really must visit place with great entertainment, a great vibe and excellent street food from all over the world.

It is a great magnet for visitors and  an iconic place of Melbourne.
It would be easy to spend a few hours each day there without getting bored. Definitely something for everyone. A must-do in Melbourne.



We explored Melbourne ourselves by using local transport like trams and shuttle service. The Melbourne Visitor Shuttle is a great way to explore inner city. The Ride is very comfortable while listening to stories about the city's colourful past and current happenings. One can get a copy of shuttle route service at the Melbourne Visitor Centre. We also visited The Shrine,Royal Botanic Gardens, Harbour Town-Docklands, Melbourne Museum and Carlton Gardens and Fitzroy Gardens. One can find a lot of shopping locations in center Melbourne near to Bourke street, Swanston street and Collins Street. Travelling to Melbourne was one of the best experience of my life!!

Turkey- My Favorite Dream Holiday Destination

Visit blogadda.com to discover Indian blogs I am a Travel Freak having traveled extensively in about 20+ countries but never got a chance to visit Turkey which is one of my deepest desires to experience. Turkey is friendly, beautiful and culturally rich. There are lot of Historical and Archeological Sites which I want to visit in Turkey. I want to enjoy various activities like hiking, rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, and bicycling,The most important activity is hot-air ballooning that I want to do in Turkey.







I would like to start planning for my trip well in advance as it is my favorite dream holiday destination.I will book my this trip with skyscanner www.skyscanner.co.in to make it not only comfortable but economical as well.This will include getting here and around Turkey, accommodation, Flights.There are ample flight options on
www.skyscanner.co.in



I am able to get cheapest and best flight options to Turkey using www.skyscanner.co.in and  easily sorting by various preferences like number of stops airline preference and price. I am able to get a price of just about 35K for this travel which is really amazing.



 










My next search is to look for the best hotel accommodation available basis of my criteria like hotel location,price,star rating etc.  and again www.skyscanner.co.in helps me to get the best deal.





 My Hotel accommodation would cost just under 20K for the four nights stay with complimentary breakfast.The options  offered by www.skyscanner.co.in are really amazing in terms of not only price but one is spoilt for so many choices that every deal offered looks super attractive.
My next task is to look for the most economical car hire options in Turkey so that I can spend all my time on the street covering as much area as I can in the span of these 5 days spending almost another 25K on the four day car hire






The unique climate and beautiful nature of Turkey makes it more appealing.Sand,Sea and Sun makes the experience more refreshing.Turkey is the most popular holiday destination.Turkey offers more than a holiday,it can make your dreams true.
I want to visit all the historical places of Turkey as these are the greatest wealth of Turkey.
There are many more castles, fortresses and walls, Turkish castles and fortresses have a very different look from European castles. Visiting fortresses and castles in Turkey is a unique experience for visitors from all over the world.
 

Turkey has a large variety of nightlife and entertainment.Turkey offers a wealth of different kinds of attractions to travelers. As a result there are lots of attractions from the historical buildings and monuments to the modern museums,galleries,mosques,churches and National parks.

I want to keep some good amount of money for my food and miscellaneous expenses of at least about 15K for these four days. I want to cover as many places as possible in the span of these five days in Turkey to make my trip the most memorable one.Just keeping my fingers crossed as I close this dream travel experience so I can really live it once!!!!!

In February 2014, I traveled to Abu Dhabi with my Daughter and it was indeed a lifetime experience. The city is indeed very clean with world class infrastructure and there is a very good connectivity inside the city. Free bus shuttle service is available there to go to different places at YAS Island
 I stayed at YAS Island in Park Inn Hotel. We went YAS water world and Ferrari world.

First Day we visited Ferrari world Ferrari World is a Ferrari themed amusement park on YAS Island in Abu Dhabi. Ferrari world has thrilling rides, exciting attractions, themed stores and restaurants, all inspired by the rich Ferrari brand. It's fast and furious fun for all ages at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. It is the largest indoor and the only Ferrari branded theme park in the world. We all see here is Ferrari branded, red themed structures. We enjoyed a lot.

On second day we visited YAS Water world. It was amazing the most exciting water park in Abu Dhabi. We had a fantastic day there. The rides are wow. The water was cold. We did all tube based rides. The place was very quiet, so we never had to queue for any of the ride.

We had a great time there and I will never forget it for a lifetime. It’s surely a Must visit Place!!!
