5 Places Your Kids Would Love in Paris


Paris, France’s capital and largest city is located at the Northern part of the country, by the Seine River. It is a beautiful city, rich in history and art, and ranks among the top ten most liveable cities in the world. Popularly referred to as the world’s most romantic city, Paris is a magnet to over 27 million tourists annually. 

From its picturesque landscape to the horses and carriages, the roadside painters and the museums, Paris plays host to thousands of historical monuments including four UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The wide range of available places can overwhelm a visitor to the city, particularly when travelling with kids. Kids have a way of not being impressed by the things which impress their parents. Thankfully, there are several places that kids would have fun in Paris. 
When visiting, plan to stop by any of these places, you kids would absolutely love it.

1. The Eiffel Tower: When people think of Paris the Eiffel tower is often what comes to mind and for a very good reason. It is one of the architectural wonders of the world and the kids would especially love going up the tower. The base of the tower is also filled with a lot of activities; make sure you buy some souvenirs to take home with you.
2. Disneyland Paris: Though not in Paris itself, Disneyland Paris is only a few miles outside the city. This Disneyland has two theme parks; Disneyland Park and the Walt Disney Studios Park. It would also be an experience to visit the Disney Village to catch an interesting show at the end of the day.
3. Paris Beach: Known as the Paris Plage in French, this is an artificial beach right in Paris but a great place for kids to have fun in summer. It is located on the banks of the Seine river and there are lots of activities for kids right there.
4. The Kids Museum: If you are in Paris, what you should be looking for is the Cite des enfant and it is part of the museum of science and industry. But this particular one is tailored for kids with hands-on activities to introduce them to science and technology. It is divided into several age groups and kids from ages 2 to 15 will find it fascinating.
5. Parc de la Vilette: If you are looking for musical concerts or exhibitions this park is a place you should consider. It is melting point of different cultures and concerts are scheduled all year round for local and international artists among other activities including the annual open air film festival. 

There is so much in Paris for the whole family to do. While it is okay to visit places like the Notre Dame Cathedral, if you insist on dragging the kids solely to these places you would soon have a mutiny on your hands. Spice up your visit; go to the places above, where you kids would have a fantastic time and help them build wonderful memories about this beautiful city.

3 Places to Experience in Melbourne


Melbourne Australia is a beautiful city. Everywhere you go, there is art in Melbourne; little wonder it is one of the fashion capitals of the world. But it is also much more than that. It is a place which has a vibe and energy that is easily contagious. When visiting, if you know where to look you would enjoy the best that Melbourne has to offer.



Great Otway National Park
There is no how you would be in Australia, within the vicinity and not stop by the Otway National Park. Home to one of the most beautiful rainforests, the Great Otway National Park also houses lovely waterfalls and fantastic terrain for the Great Ocean Walk which involves coastal hikes. Worth seeing are the Redwood forest near Apollo Bay and the rainforest and waterfalls which are near Lorne.

If you really want to explore the park, one day is not sufficient as there is just so much to do. Starting from hiking the Great Ocean Walk to camping; the campsite is great for kids. It is large without a lot of disturbance so that there is enough space for the kids to play around. The Old Beechy Rail Trail does not run too far from it too.
Some main attractions are the Otway Fly Treetop Adventures. This is a treetop walk that allows visitors to see the rainforest from above. For most kids though, the highlight would be the Prehistoric Path, which allows them to travel back in time to a period when dinosaurs roamed the land.

This lovely park would afford great delights to kids and the adults with them. It is often neglected by tourists who have never been before but is absolutely worth the detour and you would be unable to resist going back for more.

The Puffing Billy Steam Train

This has been dubbed Australia’s favorite steam train and sitting inside one during a ride, it is easy to understand why. It is actually Australia’s oldest steam railway and is very well preserved. The wonder of the Puffing Billy though is not just the age of the train, even though that is quite impressive considering it is a Century old. The main delight is the route through which it runs; 24 kilometers of sheer beauty and splendor as it moves through the forests from Belgrave to Emerald Lake Park and then Gembrook. There are so many historic and scenic spots along the way such as Trestle Bridge and the Cuckatoo station.

The Studley Park Boathouse

This is the perfect place for the whole family to have a scenic picnic. The boathouse is by the river banks and there is enough space there for your kids to run around and play and if they have their bikes or scooters with them, even better.

You can hire a rowboat or a canoe and take the whole family out for a fun day on the river. Kids particularly love feeding the ducks there. Kids love Studley Park because they can play around and have fun. And parents love it because they can watch their kids play around from where they are relaxing. It is win-win for both.

If you are ever in Melbourne or maybe you even live there, make an effort to get your children immersed in nature in a way they would absolutely love.

Travelling Around South Africa



 South Africa is one of the world’s most magnificent and beautiful countries which all people seeing true inspiration should visit. International flights to South Africa can sometimes be pricey but the good news is that once you are in South Africa, there are a countless number of cheap transportation options.
A large majority of the South African public make use of the indigenous mini taxis. These are not taxis as international visitors may be used to but refer to mini buses driven by the locals. These taxis are a cheap option to get around in but visitors should be careful and be cautious when using taxis for the first time. Although taxis are cheap and perfect for taking in the city on short distances, taxis are not recommended for long distance travelling. For longer, budget travelling around South Africa, there are a number of bus services that offer around the clock bus trips all over the beautiful country.
For those visitors seeking more independence and would like to drive themselves around the country, there are a number of care hire options available. Although this is an affordable way to travel through the country, visitors should note that there are not always viable roads in all places of the country and drivers drive on the left-hand side of the road.
Flying does not always seem like an affordable option but with companies such as Kulula Airlines and Mango Airlines, flying across South Africa becomes a viable option for affordable domesticflights. Be sure to visit budget flight companies when visiting South Africa for the cheapest flights to Cape Town from Johannesburg, cheap flights from Durban to Johannesburg as well as cheap flights from Durban to Cape Town. With these cheap flights available, anyone can see South Africa at an affordable price.
