17.01.2022 The room within the elephant! Post COVID and Sri Lankan tourism was really beginning to fly. However, with the button on pause for most international destinations and our flight wings clipped, it still doesn’t mean we have to pause our dreams nor our ability to plan ahead. To wit, a most unusual type of eco-accommodation, an Elephant Villa has taken shape in Buttala, on Sri Lanka’s Kumbuk River, 260 kilometres from Colombo. Built in the shape of an enormous 40ft elephant an...d set on a lush river location, the two-storey Kumbuk River Elephant Villa consists of an open lounge on its upper deck and two extra-large bedrooms downstairs, all crafted from wood and straw. It also has a gigantic, airy and arty living space on the Villa’s upper level called ‘The Gathering’ deck. Guests can relax and dine in the ground floor lounge and take advantage of the resort’s many activities, including nature walks, bird watching and rafting. There are also day trips to Yala National Park where you can spot leopards, water buffalo, sloth bears and, of course, Sri Lankan elephants The Elephant Villa sleeps four -10 people. Right now they have a current rate for four people, per night, including free breakfast, for U$D 260/-net. Dream on! #tourismsrilanka #KambalaRiverElephantVilla See more

13.01.2022 The jaws that snatch!

13.01.2022 Travel in the afterlife Hope, even in these strange and testing times of COVID springs eternal and this life or death affirming story proves that travel is not just a one dimensional thing but one that might be achieved through the imagination, on an astral plain or even beyond the grave! The story comes from the pages of Alberta Canada’s Lethbridge News Now, entitled - Trip of a Lifetime. Two years after Mary Whitt of Somerset, Kentucky USA decided to send her dead husband’s... ashes off into the ocean to travel the world via a bottle with a note and photograph, it washed up on Razo Beach in Carballo, Spain, where the Alvarez family found him during their family vacation. The family used the information in the note to email Mrs Whitt informing her of their discovery. Upon her request the family then scattered Jerry’s ashes in the Atlantic, thus ensuring that he will travel the world for eternity. #RazoBeachCarballo #albertacanada #SomersetKentuckey #messageinabottle See more

09.01.2022 A new 'Australian COVID Travel Portal', that brings together key safety information, travel restrictions and guidelines from across the country has been launched by Tourism Australia. Specifically, the site will include the up to date status of all state and territory borders and associated travel restrictions, relevant information on transport, hotels and accommodation, activities and experiences, as well as health and safety tips. The Australian COVID Travel Portal can be accessed at https://www.australia.com///coronavirus-travel-safety.html The site is likely to be extended to international visitors once international borders reopen.

09.01.2022 Full exposure You may be familiar with the see-through toilet found in the occasional hotel or restaurant and the shock they present when first encountered. You question who wants to be seen by all and sundry when spending a penny. Here I speak mainly for the female of the species as men have long been acquainted with viewing each other’s bits and are even known to engage in games of dexterity and skill in them. Mercifully, the see-through effect is only when they are idl...e. When in use the toilets become frosted and opaque. Japan, known as one of the cleanest countries in the world where toilets have the capacity to warm seats, play flushing music to mask anything unbecoming emanating from other cubicles, powder bottoms and all but sing and dance, has now installed transparent public toilets that light up "like a beautiful lantern" in two parks in Shibuya, a commercial part of the Japanese capital, Tokyo. Created by a number of leading designers, they use coloured "smart glass" and are part of the Tokyo Toilet Project to change people's "dark, dirty, smelly and scary" perceptions of public loos.
