</p> <p>Carts and baskets full of the fruit can be found throughout Mumbai's streets and it can at times be difficult to avoid the things, as street sellers force them upon you. </p> <p>A trip to any of the markets, including the historic, 130-year-old Crawford Market, will provide mango lovers the opportunity to find the best of the year's crop.</p> <p><em>Source:</em> <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=34444&a=1221852&g=16142256"><em>Hostelbookers</em></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm"><strong>Book a flight</strong></a> <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm"><strong>Book a hotel</strong></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10375684"><br> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-1975393-10375684" width="120" height="60" alt="Simply Travel - Click Here!" border="0"></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1975393-10415186"><br> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-1975393-10415186" width="234" height="60" alt="" border="0"></a> </p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10416826"><br> <img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-1975393-10416826" width="468" height="60" alt="Cheap Travel Insurance " border="0"></a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/17/mumbai_s_mangos~808191/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-05-17:/2006/05/17/jazz_in_brussels_19_21_may~808126/pjbassoc2006-05-17T21:45:23+02:002006-05-17T21:45:23+02:00 <p>Brussels, Belgium - 19 May 2006 to 21 May 2006 </p> <p>Jazz may be one of the coolest forms of music in the world and it is celebrated in style in Brussels from May 19th to 21st. </p> <p>The Brussels Jazz Marathon is one of the most impressive jazz events in Europe, attracting artists from all over the world to play in both small, intimate venues and larger locations. </p> <p>Both local and international groups share the stages around the city, but perhaps the most spectacular thing about the marathon is the fact that much of it takes place in the open air, with the squares being taken over by stages for concerts. </p> <p>One of the most impressive must be the stage in Brussels' main square, which is surrounded by some of the oldest and most fantastically ornate buildings in the city, giving the jazz bands a perfect backdrop. </p> <p>Over 50 venues will be included in this year's event, with 400 artists joining forces to give 125 concerts, all in the space of the three days over which the event takes place.</p> <p><em>Source:</em> <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=34444&a=1221852&g=16142256"><em>Hostelbookers</em></a></p> <p class="center"><strong><a href="http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/382678/1221852"><strong>Book a seat on Eurostar</strong></a></strong></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm"><strong>Book a flight</strong></a> <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm"><strong>Book a hotel</strong></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10375684"><br> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-1975393-10375684" width="120" height="60" alt="Simply Travel - Click Here!" border="0"></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1975393-10415186"><br> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-1975393-10415186" width="234" height="60" alt="" border="0"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/17/jazz_in_brussels_19_21_may~808126/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-05-17:/2006/05/17/all_the_fun_of_the_fair_paris_fashion~807990/pjbassoc2006-05-17T21:00:15+02:002006-05-17T21:00:15+02:00 <p>Paris, France - 1 April 2006 to 27 May 2006 </p> <p>You are never too old for a funfair and the Foire du Trone in France confirms this, with over five million visitors, both young and old, coming to visit the huge temporary fairground. </p> <p>Boasting a mind-boggling array of daredevil rides, shows, performers and acts, the fair has all the traditional attraction such as the Big Wheel, the dodgems and the slightly-scary clowns with their extended shoes and red noses, as well as offering something a little different. </p> <p>Flashing lights, constant music and 'freak' shows accompany the rides and display a less elegant and trashier side to the French capital. Statistics show that over 90 tonnes of chips are eaten during the season, while enough beer to fill an Olympic swimming pool is consumed. </p> <p>The fair at Pelouse de Reuilly dates back to the 12th century and is linked to the selling of pig-shaped spice bread, a long and confusing connection which has resulted in the modern day version of the fair. </p> <p>All visitors are invited to join in with all the fun of the fair, held April 1st to May 27th , and add some circus fun to their trip.</p> <p><em>Source:</em> <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=34444&a=1221852&g=16142256"><em>Hostelbookers</em></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm"><strong>Book a flight</strong></a> <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm"><strong>Book a hotel</strong></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10375684"><br> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-1975393-10375684" width="120" height="60" alt="Simply Travel - Click Here!" border="0"></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1975393-10415186"><br> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-1975393-10415186" width="234" height="60" alt="" border="0"></a> </p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10416826"><br> <img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-1975393-10416826" width="468" height="60" alt="Cheap Travel Insurance " border="0"></a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/17/all_the_fun_of_the_fair_paris_fashion~807990/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-05-17:/2006/05/17/sanja_matsuri_in_japan~807927/pjbassoc2006-05-17T20:40:30+02:002006-05-17T20:40:30+02:00 <p>Tokyo, Japan - 19 May 2006 </p> <p>The largest of Tokyo's big three festivals is set to take to the city's streets this May. </p> <p>The Asakusa Shrine's Sanja festival is a three day event beginning on Friday 19th May with considerable amounts of dancing, drinking and music. </p> <p>The focal points of the weekend are the processions of many shrines, known as mikoshi, through the city, which are believed to bestow luck and prosperity to the inhabitants. </p> <p>Around 100 mikoshi parade through the streets, in processions that attract more than two million people to the event every year. </p> <p>The Friday begins with preliminary parades of people through the local neighbourhoods, with the first mikoshis seen on the Saturday. </p> <p>The Sunday is by far the most eventful of the three days with three giant mikoshis from the Asakusa shrine paraded though the neighbourhoods along with their smaller brothers, in processions that begin at 6am and run well in to the evening. </p> <p>If you're lucky, you may catch sight of a geisha or a member of the Japanese mafia enjoying themselves among the crowds.</p> <p><em>Source:</em> <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=34444&a=1221852&g=16142256"><em>Hostelbookers</em></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm"><strong>Book a flight</strong></a> <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm"><strong>Book a hotel</strong></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10375684"><br> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-1975393-10375684" width="120" height="60" alt="Simply Travel - Click Here!" border="0"></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1975393-10415186"><br> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-1975393-10415186" width="234" height="60" alt="" border="0"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/17/sanja_matsuri_in_japan~807927/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-05-17:/2006/05/17/brilliant_student_deals_to_bangkok~807849/pjbassoc2006-05-17T20:11:24+02:002006-05-17T20:11:24+02:00 <p class="center"><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1975393-10402694"><br> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-1975393-10402694" width="468" height="60" alt="We Love Summer - Thai Tan from £355 rtn" border="0"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1975393-10402694">STA Travel</a> has the some of best flight deals on flights to Bangkok, especially if you are a student or you are under 26 and qualify for their 'Blue' fares.

While it is more expensive in Cannes during the festival, cheap bargains can still be found by travellers. </p> <p>Running since 1939, the festival has hosted the gamut of silver screen icons, from Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who arrived on a giant floating version of himself to publicise his Terminator III film in 2003. </p> <p><em>Source:</em> <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=34444&a=1221852&g=16142256"><em>Hostelbookers</em></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm"><strong>Book a flight</strong></a> <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm"><strong>Book a hotel</strong></a></p> <p class="center"><strong><a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=41520&a=1221852&g=16194448"><strong>Take an EasyCruise</strong></a></strong></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10375684"><br> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-1975393-10375684" width="120" height="60" alt="Simply Travel - Click Here!" border="0"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1975393-10291982"><br> <img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-1975393-10291982" width="468" height="60" alt="Going somewhere?

Peter and Irene Ludwig acquired the monumental painting in 1978 for the museum.</p> <p>The work can be seen as a painted autobiography of the artist. Various aspects of his life and his fantastic visual worlds appear as a retrospective dream vision. Salvador Dalí declared in his visionary style Perpignan railway station as the centre of the world. Many times Dalí travelled by train via Perpignan to Paris, centre of surrealism, and many other important artists travelled through this town where French and Spanish influences meet on their way to Cadaqués to visit Dalí and experience his wonderful muse, and the motherly ways of his companion.</p> <p>Upon showing your <a href="http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/139845/1210280">Germanwings</a> booking confirmation you will receive the following special price at the cash desk of the Museum Ludwig:</p> <p>Day ticket for €6.50 instead of €7.50 (a saving of 15%)<br> Exhibition catalogue €30 instead of €37 (a saving of 23%)</p> <p>*This offer is only valid if you show a valid booking confirmation for a Germanwings flight to Cologne. <a href="http://www.museum-ludwig.de">Ludwig Museum </a>is responsible for providing this offer.</p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm"><strong>Book a flight</strong></a> <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm"><strong>Book a hotel</strong></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10375684"><br> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-1975393-10375684" width="120" height="60" alt="Simply Travel - Click Here!" border="0"></a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/15/cologne_salvador_dali_exhibition_save~801718/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-05-15:/2006/05/15/going_greek_down_under_australia~801615/pjbassoc2006-05-15T16:32:30+02:002006-05-15T17:19:09+02:00 <p><em>Brisbane - 15 May 2006 to 21 May 2006</em> </p> <p>Paniyiri, an annual festival of all things Greek, has started in Brisbane.

Food stalls will also be showcasing the many tastes and recipes from regions across Greece. </p> <p>The main stage in Musgrave Park will host up to 20 hours of entertainment, including grape stomping and olive eating competitions, Hellenic dancing, Ta Palikaria and Zorba Dancing. Visitors can even take part in the Zorbathan; an attempt to break the festival's own record of 3,300 people Greek dancing for eight minutes. </p> <p>Over 20,000 people from Brisbane's Greek community gather every year at Paniyiri to showcase their culture and display their customs.</p> <p><em>Source:</em> <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=34444&a=1221852&g=16142256"><em>Hostelbookers</em></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm"><strong>Book a flight</strong></a> <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm"><strong>Book a hotel</strong></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1975393-10375684"><br> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-1975393-10375684" width="120" height="60" alt="Simply Travel - Click Here!" border="0"></a></p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1975393-10415186"><br> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-1975393-10415186" width="234" height="60" alt="" border="0"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/15/going_greek_down_under_australia~801615/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-05-15:/2006/05/15/roses_in_morocco~800883/pjbassoc2006-05-15T12:21:16+02:002006-05-15T12:21:16+02:00 <p>For flower lovers, there are very few places better to be than in Morocco during May. </p> <p>This is because an oasis in the Dades Valley provides an opportunity for roses to grow in abundance, something which has been particularly important for the local economy. </p> <p>One of the largest rose distilling plants in the world is situated in the valley, which is also known as the Valley of the Roses, and it provides the scented rose water which is used in abundance in cooking and perfumes. </p> <p>It takes ten tons of rose petals to produce just a few litres of oil, so the effort put in by the local farmers is rightly celebrated towards the end of the harvest each year. </p> <p>With the valley smelling divine, the farmers gather together in the El Kelaa des M'Gouna town for the rose feast celebrations, which include a market with music and dancing and of course a Rose Queen election, whose duty it is simply to reign over the year's crop.</p> <p>For those wanting cheap accomodation go to <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=34444&a=1221852&g=16142256">hostelbookers</a>.</p> <p>more information on <a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/flights.htm">flights</a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/15/roses_in_morocco~800883/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-05-08:/2006/05/08/accor_hotels_up_to_50_off_for_summer_vac~783772/pjbassoc2006-05-08T11:38:29+02:002006-05-08T18:00:12+02:00 <p><a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=31820&a=1210280&g=16288880">AccorHotels</a> are offering a discount of up to 50% on a selection of hotels for all summer vacation reservations made before 27 June 2007.</p> <p><a href="http://www.just4adverts.com/UK/hotelworld.htm">more hotel offers</a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://just4travel.blog.co.uk/2006/05/08/accor_hotels_up_to_50_off_for_summer_vac~783772/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:just4travel.blog.co.uk,2006-04-28:/2006/04/28/cheap_flights_to_germany_for_world_cup~762773/pjbassoc2006-04-28T16:03:50+02:002006-04-28T16:03:50+02:00 <p><a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=17526&a=1210280&g=139845">Germanwings</a> - Germany’s premiere low-cost airline – is offering footy fans the chance to support the boys in Germany for next to nothing.
