To do or not to do: Orlando, Florida

10/31/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
I (Sam) was recently asked a question which caused me to ponder. What is there to do in Orlando, Florida, that doesn’t involve a theme-park?

I had to think for a minute, because Orlando is so synonymous with Disneyworld, SeaWorld, Universal, that you often don’t think beyond the realms of roller coasters and Harry Potter’s magic wand. That would be a mistake however, as it turns out Orlando really does offer so much more than adrenaline rushes and cartoon mice.

The tiny multicultural island of Mauritius is a tropical paradise right out of the pages of a travel brochure. Whilst it may sound cliché, it really is a land of crystal clear waters, beautiful rugged mountains and lush tropical forests.

Travel update XV – Dublin & Dingle, Ireland

Dingle Peninsula.
I left mainland Europe through Germany’s Memmingen door and I found myself in the ancient, yet beautiful hallway of Ireland. Since Ryanair (although I despise them) is based out of Dublin, I had no choice but to return to the place that I didn’t quite love the first time I visited, but it was important to give it a second chance. Upon my arrival to the airport in Dublin, I took a city bus to Howth – a small village that sits upon the sea, that’s known for its fish and its lighthouse. I missed it the first time out, and since I arrived around 12-noon local time, I had all day to wander around. Once I got to Howth, a misty sort-of-storm crept in and it was impossible to see much of the lighthouse, let alone the sea beyond the cliffside. Sadly, I was forced to turn back, but not before I sat down to a heaping plate of local fish grilled to perfection, atop asparagus and potatoes.
