Don’t Miss Pamplona’s Spectacular San Fermin Festival
November 17th, 2008
Andrew Regan asked:
As one of Spain’s most historic cities, Pamplona has captured the imagination of many a visitor to Spain. The capital city of the region of Navarre, Pamplona is traditionally also seen as the capital of the Basque country and is thus a special place of interest for Basque nationalists. Steeped in ancient heritage, perhaps the most famous event in Pamplona’s annual calendar is the San Fermin festival - an event during which the running of the bulls is the main attraction for visitors from around the world.
Celebrated every July, San Fermin has its roots in the medieval period as both a commercial fair and a secular fiesta. Its famous ‘Encierro’ - or running of the bulls - originated in the late fourteenth century, and remains the festival’s most popular event today. It is said that at Pamplona, Saint Fermin met with his death by being dragged around the streets of the city by bulls - although some say that Saint Fermin was actually martyred at Amiens, France.
As the name suggests, ‘Encierro’ involves people running in front of bulls down a 825 metre stretch of cobbled streets in the older parts of Pamplona town. On the festival’s largest day, July 7th, the effigy of Saint Fermin is accompanied by thousands of festival participants, as dancers and entertainers gather along the streets. ‘Encierro’ itself begins with the release of two firecrackers - one to signal the freeing of the bulls from their corral and another once the last bull has been released.
The dangers posed by the running of the bulls are well-known. Since 1924, 15 people have been killed and over 200 have been seriously injured. However, many of these injuries have been due to inexperienced tourists taking dangerous risks when participating in the ‘Encierro’. But despite these dangers, the atmosphere in Pamplona during San Fermin is overwhelmingly celebratory. In literature, the mood of San Fermin has perhaps best been captured by the American writer Ernest Hemingway, who immortalised the festival in his novel ‘The Sun Also Rises’. In commemoration, Hemingway had a street in Pamplona named after him - Avenida de Hemingway - in order to show the city’s appreciation for this great author.
Pamplona is just over two hours journey away from the city of Bilbao, so if you’re thinking about travelling to Pamplona for the festival of San Fermin, you’ll find frequent flights to Bilbao from London. Just make sure that your behaviour is responsible and careful in order to reduce the risk of being in the firing line during the running of the bulls.

Five Things To Do On Your Holidays In Bosnia
November 17th, 2008
Andrew Gibson asked:
There is no doubt that for a long time Bosnia has only been known for the conflicts in this area. Bosnia can be said to be the most eastern part of the west and the most western point of the east. It is trying to recover and you will be able to holiday there and find some good places to enjoy.
Bosnia-Herzegovina, now also known as Bosniais a simulated group of four economies which are working together. They cannot be said to be doing a very good job of it. They consist of the Serbs, Croats and their supposed allies, the Bosnians and each of them run their parallel economy.
Morica Han is a place that you may come here looking for some history but will stay on and have coffee. When Sarajevo was used as a place to stop on the ancient crossroads between East and West, it was a tavern. Lot of things have changed since then, you will not find any wickerwork chairs which was used by the coffee drinkers. You will instead find benches for tired travellers and there is a carpet shop with stacks of rugs, which were stables earlier. Never the less you will have a feeling of some history here.
Mostar’s Old Bridge was devastated in 1993, but this bridge has been re made in 2004, the interesting point here is that they have used the traditional 16th-century technique to do it. A number of tourists come here to see young men diving into the river. This can be best seen in July, when there is a competition for all and a lot of professionals gather here.
You can see the National Museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 - 14:00 hours. It is located in an imposing Romanesque building. National museum is the best place to get to know the history of the land. It has a number of items displayed, that comprise of objects from the Neolithic era, Roman findings, traditional wear of Bosnian, Croat and Serb people. You will also see the Jewish Haggadah, a holy codex which was transported here by Sephardic Jews. There is a beautiful and comforting garden behind the museum and has an assortment of botanical collection.
You will find a more contemporary History Museum near the National Museum, which has an exhibit of old photographs from Bosnia and Herzegovina. You will see some very disturbing exhibits here which are from the 1990s war; there are some which are the personal belongings that bear the impression of the blockade.
The other highlight of Bosnia is the casinos, you may not be able to find too many of them but few good ones make up for it with their quality. The Coloseum Casino is just the one to see, it will not matter from where you have come, you will be able to play and enjoy all the games that you know. The location of this casino is just perfect as this area is well populated and a lot of tourists come here for business as well as holiday.
In recent years Bosnia has become a popular holiday destination with holiday makers staying in self catering holiday accommodation. Many choose to rent holiday villas and self catering apartments and use them as a base to explore Bosnia while there on holiday.

Disney’s Top Tables
November 17th, 2008
Cara Goldsbury asked:
With so many choices, it’s difficult to decide where to spend your dining dollars at Walt Disney World. Hopefully this list will narrow the field a bit for you.
Best For Families
Coral Reef Restaurant – Kid’s feel like the Little Mermaid at this one-of-a-kind dining room where just a trident’s throw away is Epcot’s Living Seas’ 6-million-gallon aquarium rife with coral reefs and sea life. And adults feel like Poseidon after just one bite of the restaurant’s stellar seafood and the oh-so-delicious pepper jack cheese grits.
50’s Prime Time Café – What kid doesn’t want to experience life way back when. They’ll get a fun dose of it at this Disney-MGM Studios’ restaurant. Dine on savory renditions of good old American comfort food watching Leave it to Beaver and Topper on black and white TVs sitting on the counter between the toaster and the blender. “Mom” herself is your server, making sure everyone in the “family” observes good manners.
Whispering Canyon Café – Honest-to-goodness, rib-stickin’ barbecued vittles served piping hot in an iron skillet is right up a wannabe cowboy’s alley at this fun-loving restaurant at the Wilderness Lodge. Come prepared for plenty of hootin’ and hollerin’ and please, whatever you do, don’t ask for the ketchup unless, that is, you like a lot of attention.
Best to Book Ahead For
California Grill - This sensational restaurant at the Contemporary Resort should be at the top of every visitors list. From exemplary sushi to the exceptional New American cuisine to sensational desserts and the outstanding California wine list each available by the glass, this place has it all. From its lofty heights diners can see the Magic Kingdom, the sparkling Seven Seas Lagoon, and, best of all, a picture-perfect view of the Wishes fireworks. Just try to time your meal around the fireworks and head outside to the super observation platform for a bird’s-eye view of the extravaganza.
Cinderella’s Royal Table – If there was ever a place to plan ahead for, this is it. Exactly 180 days prior to the anticipated day, countless parents rise at the ***** of dawn to be one of the first to call for dining reservations. All just to insure that their darling little ones will be among the lucky few to be seated high atop Cinderella’s Castle at the Magic Kingdom. If you don’t snag a reservation your children will never forgive you.
Victoria and Albert’s – Demand is high for this fantastic dining spot at the Grand Floridian Resort. Once you’ve secured your spot, just sit back and prepare to be wowed by tables set in Wedgewood china, Christofle silver, Frette linens, and Riedel crystal, and cuisine that will knock your socks off.
Best For Vegetarians
Victoria and Albert’s– Here is one place that vegetarians won’t feel short changed. A seven-course vegetarian menu, expertly overseen by the illustrious Chef de Cuisine Scott Hunnell, is offered nightly. It can’t get much better than that.
Boma - The essence of Africa is potent beneath Boma’s circular, thatched roof where hearty foods prepared with an African flair (and a dash of American cuisine for the picky eater) are the fare. An entire section (or pod) of meatless dishes with such items like vegetable lentil kofta, braised greens, vegetable skewers, and several kinds of exotic salads are par for the course.
Best Character Dining
Crystal Palace - Winnie the Pooh, and his friends, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger are your hosts in a sunlight-drenched, conservatory-style restaurant found at the castle end of Main Street in the Magic Kingdom. Here you’ll find a surprisingly good and bountiful buffet, definitely one of the better spreads in the park.
1900 Park Fare – At this popular spot at the Grand Floridian Resort is Mary Poppins, Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Alice in Wonderland, and the Mad Hatter for breakfast; in the evening hours the characters from Cinderella are in attendance. And the food is perhaps Disney’s best buffet.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall - Those who love the idea of ethnic dining should try this atypical one housed at Epcot in a replica of Oslo’s Akershus Castle. Disney Princesses are in attendance at all meals and may include Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Mary Poppins.
Best Wine List
Citricos – This Mediterranean influenced restaurant at the Grand Floridian Resort is rightly proud of its global wine list, a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award winner. On the menu you’ll find a suggested wine to accompany each course.
Jiko – At the Animal Kingdom Lodge’s signature dining room you can order from the most extensive list of South African wines this side of Johannesburg. Also a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award winner, more than 65 of South Africa’s boutique wineries showcase their vintages here.
California Grill – As if the spectacular food and the mind-boggling view isn’t enough, the outstanding California wine list is also exceptional with 100 wines offered by the glass.
Victoria and Albert’s – Yet again this, Disney’s most acclaimed restaurant, makes the cut, and has the distinction of being Disney’s only restaurant to receive the coveted Wine Spectator “Best of Award of Excellence”, with 700 selections on the menu and 4,200 bottles in its cellar.
Best Hip Scene
Todd English’s Bluezoo - There’s plenty of buzz surrounding this dreamy outpost at the Walt Disney World Dolphin where it’s worth the cost of dinner just to check out the stunning, underwater-like fantasyland dining room adorned with air bubble light fixtures, shimmery silver-blue organza curtains, and carpeting mimicking an expanding drop of water. But if dinner isn’t in your plans, the lounge here is just as cool where martinis and a raw bar are on order.
Raglan Road - It’s easy to imagine you’re in the heart of Dublin at Raglan Road, Downtown Disney’s newest restaurant and pub. Come in for a drink, a snack, or for a meal… whatever, just don’t miss this fantastic spot. Irish musicians provide authentic entertainment accompanied by delicious, contemporary Irish cuisine.
