This arctile is about the Tibet tours and you can find some helpful information in it if you are planning your trip to Tibet now.

The Main Tibet Tours 
Lhasa is the capital of Tibet and is the politics, ecomony and culture center of Tibet. It will take you at least 2 or 3 days to see this unique Tibetan city. I reommend that you plan a 7 days’ trip for your Lhasa travel . 2 or 3 days for the “Sky Lake” and 3 to 4 days for Shannan or Rigazhe. You can experience the unique culture of Tibet in these areas. What attract millions of tourists here is the religious culture of Tibet and it will be a pity to miss these traditional Tibetan places if you are alreay in Tibet. There are six notable areas for tourists in Tibet and they are: Rigazhe, Shannan, Naqu, Ali, Linzhi and Changdu. Here are the most popular tours for your Tibet travel:
(1). Lhasa – Rigazhe – Lazhi – Zhangmu. This is a traditional tour for the foreign tourists and is recommended by most Chinese travel agents. You can visit the second largest city of Tibet – Rigazhe in this trip for your Tibet travel. The brilliant Zhishilunbu temple and Banchan Palace is in Rigazhe. Other attractions in this tour are: Yaluzhangbu River, Shaga Temple, Mount Forest. The whole trip will take 8 to 12 days.

(2). Lhasa – Rigezhe – Lazhi – Cuoqin – Gaizhe – Geji – Shiquan River – Pulan. This tour is not an easy one. But it is very attractive. You will go throught the Aligaoyuan(it is called the roof of the world), Mount Sanmubati, Snow Mountain Balingang, Mysterious Guge Palace. Now this tour is becoming the most popular one in Tibet travel because you can experience the unique culture and natural scenes of Tibet in it. Although it is a tough trip, it is still the first choice for thousands of adventure travellers. This tour takes 3 weeks.  ( I will choose this trip for my Tibet travel, it is an exciting one )

(3). Lhasa – Jiangmu – Rigezhe – Lhasa. This tour will go through the Qushui Bridge, Mount Gangbala, Yangzhuoyong lake. When you arrive Jiangzhi city, you can visit the famous Baiju Temple(It is also called Wanfota). This trip focuses on the Tibetan religion and culture and the total time it will cost is about 2-4 days.

(4). Lhasa – Shannan. Shannan is called the “Birth place of the Tibetan nation” and it was the center of an old civilization named “Yalonghegu”. The attractions of this trip are: Shangye Temple – the first temple of Tibet, Changzhu – the fist Buddha hall of Tibet, Suodang – the first farmland of Tibet, Yabulakang – the first palace of Tibet. They are all telling tourists the old Tibetan culture and history. This tour is mainly about the history of Tibet and 2-3 days will be enough for it. ( A good choice for your Lhasa travel or Tibet travel if you are interested in the Tibetan history )

(5). Lhasa – Naqu – Germu. This is a trip along the Qingzang road and focuses on the scenes of the Tibetan grasslands and snow mountains. The main attractions for this trip are: Chubu Temple, Yangbajing, Namucuo Lake, Mount Lianqingtanggula and Naqu. This trip is about 1200 kilometers long.

(6). Lhasa – Linzhi – Shannan – Lhasa. The most attractive place for this tour is Linzhi. It is called a place like Heavan in Tibet. The famous Lalvzhangbu Valley is right here in Linzhi. It is a very attractive place for the scientists and adventure travellers. The total length of this trip is about 2000 kilometers and usually it will take 4-7 days.( I like the beautiful Linzhi. It is another good choice for your Lhasa travel or Tibet travel )

Some tips: You will have a comprehensive understanding of Tibet if your plan for the Tibet travel is more than 2 weeks. A jeep or SUV will be helpful for your Tibet tours.

We are going on holiday and trying to work out the best spots in July. Peru is definitely on the adgenda, but we are interested in other recommended destinations and general travel tips.

Go to Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can’t miss it. I visited the city with some friends last July and it was just amazing. In a month you’ll get to see/do so much! The food is absolutely incredible there (they are well-known for their steaks and parrilladas). The culture is so rich: of course, they have the tango. You can catch tango shows in the streets in downtown sometimes. They also have more excluvise tango shows in theatres. Some restaurants in Puerto Madero (Buenos Aires) offer free tango lessons!

The city’s architecture is classical/prehispanic with a mix of modern in the Puerto Madero area. People are generally friendly (not all of them of course, but for the most part).

If you are a sports fan, can’t miss the Boca stadium or the River Plate Stadium. The Boca is home to a very special soccer hall of fame, famous particularly because of Maradona and FIFA’s current No.1 soccer player in the world – Lionel Messi.

You can travel to the surroundings of the city – it is very easy to travel around the city: whether it be by bus, taxi or even walking.

Hope this works for you. Good luck in your trip!

If you are planning to drive abroad in the school holidays you need to check exactly what type of car insurance cover you have.

A lady in London was shocked by how much she had to pay out for two minor accidents, even when she had bought insurance for her hire car. The two small scrapes, breaking a headlight and bumping the left wing of her car against a second rental car when parking, would probably have cost her little more than £100 each. Instead, she ended up paying out £1,237 in excess penalties.

When you rent a car in the UK or on abroad, the price includes fully comprehensive insurance but many people are not aware of the inflated excess charges which can be as high as £1,000 on the continent. Online provider, insurance4carehire, confirms this saying almost four out of 10 holidaymakers don’t know that they could be liable for these costs.

One way to get the cover you require without is to pays around £69 for an annual standalone policy, available from companies like insurance4carhire which covers all eventualities (including damage to underbody, tyres and windows, which are usually excluded in excess-waiver policies from car hire companies).

Every year three million British drivers set off to the continent, yet the price comparison website uSwitch says that two thirds aren’t sure if their insurance covers them or not. Apparently, ten per cent of Britons embark upon a driving holiday with the somewhat cloudy and incorrect notion that driving accidents are covered by our travel insurance. Remember to read the small print, whether you are hiring a car or driving your own.

Mistake number one, if you are driving your own car, is to assume that your own fully comprehensive insurance necessarily provides the same level of cover when you are not in the UK. It does not. EU law only states that insurers are obliged to provide the bare minimum – which means third-party cover. This, of course, will not protect against accidental damage, theft or accident claims and only pays out for damage sustained to another person or car.

Ashton Berkhauer, an insurance expert at uSwitch, reckons that very few of the main providers offer free cover more than three days. The exceptions are eCar and Saga, which both provide driving cover abroad for 365 days a year. Barclays it will charge you £21.50 for up to 90 days’ cover, and with Admiral it will cost you £9 for four days and £17 for up to 30.

Paul Baxter of Tescocompare.com recommends that drivers should also make sure they have adequate breakdown cover. Breakdown cover in the UK can cost as little as £30 a year, and the cheapest Europe-wide policy is £69, this covers an annual trip of up to 31 days in Europe (IC Breakdown relating to a 30-year old man driving a Ford Focus with an annual mileage of 12,000).

However, Peter Gerrard of price comparison site Money-supermarket.com points out that some of the less expensive policies (not including IC Breakdown) are fairly stripped-down and you have to pay when the breakdown occurs, then claim the cost back on your return. Single-trip policies can also be bought for about £42 from the RAC, AA and Europ Assistance.

I am planning of going to Spain, and would like to know if I could travel to spain with my swiss resident permit and my other passport (as I can travel to france with my swiss resident permit)? And the guys traveling with me has a shengen visa, is that okay?

Thanks!

Yes, the Swiss type C residence permit waives the visa requirement to the other Schengen countries; same applies to a visa issued by Switzerland if it is a type C visa and it states valid for "Schengen States" in the first column.

Graco is the world renown for their innovative products, stylish designs and great value.  One of Graco’s greatest innovations was the travel system. Combining an interlocking stroller, infant car seat and car seat base the Graco Travel System allowed parents to transport a sleeping baby from stroller to car without having to take them out of their safety harness.  The Graco travel system also allowed for new parents to buy their needed gear all in one shot with the peace of mind that the different parts would all work in sync and match style-wise.

The Graco travel system comes with one of several infant car seats.  The Snug Ride seat fits infants from 5 to 22lbs and 29 inches long.  For a little bit more the Snug Ride 32 fits infants up to 32lbs and 32 inches long.  Finally, the Infant Safe seat holds infants from 5 to 30lbs.  All are built to the highest safety standards, constructed from EPS shock absorbing material for the best impact protection.  Depending on the Graco travel system, you may have an option on which seat you get.

Light Weight Graco Travel Systems

MetroLite $239.99:  At only 25.6lbs total you’ll be shocked at the amount features are packed into this Graco travel system.  The parent storage tray with cup holders, multi- position reclining seat, child’s tray, lockable swivel font wheels and great suspension will all make you think you bought a more expensive, full size stroller.

Lite Rider $159.99: A great Graco travel system for the value; you get many features found on more expensive strollers. A one hand fold, child and parent’s tray, easy to reach drop down basket and reclining seat all make life easier for you.  Besides not having all the bells and whistles, the Alano falls short on its color options.  Graco only makes one color pattern for the Lite Rider Graco travel system

Alano $179.99:  Get the best in design and style with this value Graco travel system.  The one hand folding system breaks the stroller down into an upright position.  No bending needed to transport!  Sturdy construction, a host of convenient features and a great neutral stylish design make this stroller a must have.

Full Size Graco Travel Systems

Quattro Tour and Quattro Tour Deluxe $249.99/$269.99: The flagship of the Graco travel system line up, the Quattro Tour is loaded from top to bottom with convenient features and great construction.  The aluminum frame, lockable front swivel wheels and easy one touch brakes make for a durable, easily maneuverable and safe stroller.  The one hand gravity fold breaks the stroller down with only one touch from you.  The deluxe parent tray is great for personal storage or bottle of water while you will love the large under seat storage basket.  This Graco travel system is sold in two models.  The Deluxe version comes with the Snug Ride 32, while the regular version comes with the Snug Ride infant seat.  The Quattro Tour and Quattro Tour Deluxe are hands down the best on the market.

Glider $179.99:  Lighter and cheaper than the Quattro Tour models, the Glider is a great travel system for the price.  While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of its bigger sibling, it’s still packed with convenient features like: canopy with peek-a-boo window, parent and baby trays, and large storage basket.

Vie4 $209.99:  Stylish and packed with great options like the stand up folding system the Vie4 is a great travel system for the price.  If the Quattro Tour models aren’t for you, then I suggest you take a look at the Vie4.  One downfall of the Vie 4 Graco travel system is that it’s only available in two color choices.

Spree $169.97:  Sold only as a Graco travel system, the Spree comes only with the Snug Ride Car seat.  It’s well equipped for the price and while you don’t get all of the convenient features of other travel systems, the price more than makes up for it.  If you’re on a budget the Spree is the way to go.

Stylus $189.99:  This hard to find Graco travel system is not based completely on the Mosaic stroller, but has a lot of the same style notes.  Its sleek design combines with a host of convenient features to make for a nice alternative to the larger strollers in its class.  Complete with Snug Ride car seat this stroller is a nice addition to the Graco travel system family.

The highest form of flattery is imitation and ever since Graco came out with their travel systems other stroller manufacturers have been trying to catch up.  This genius innovation from Graco is now common place in the market, but the originators are still the best out there.
