Gypsy Traveler http://001yourtranslationservice.com/me/my-life.html Prague 2 - CB - CZ My entire life has been from moving from one place to another, and now I moved my internet based business into a caravan and travel freely under solar panels. Soon to let loose and live out of a backpack only. John Helley Read Stories http://read-stories.com San Jose - CA - United States Read-Stories.com is a collection of stories including travel stories. Mick MacO. Venturing to the Brink on Mick MacOs TRIP http://www.mickmaco.org Dublin - Leinster - Ireland This is the true story of what happened to somebody-s head while travelling through 28 cities and 15 countries in 31 days, alone. TRIP documents, with modern slang and an Irish twang, one man-s whirlwind tour of places as varied as Amsterdam to Auschwitz. In a light-hearted way, Mick MacO tells the story of what must have been a mind-blowing experience. The languages, currencies and national traits fly by, but the trip gradually takes its toll on the storyteller. The book contains notebook entries from the time of the trip and there are photographs from each of the cities. Some are nice and some are just plain weird.

The family - and 2 resident ghosts - still welcome guest at the Villa, much as it they were at the height of its fame in the 1770’s. The stay at Bagni di Pisa (health giving waters are still offered to an international clientele) and visit Pisa during one of the city’s festivals. The Villa has hosted many illustrious guests such as Gustavus III of Sweden, Christian II of Denmark, the Royal Family of Great Britain, Benedict Stuart Cardinal of York, General Murat, Luigi Buonaparte, Paolina Borghese, Carlo Alberto of Savoy, the poets Byron and Shelley, and various other personages from the history books. Legend has it that in the Villa della Seta at Corliano along the road running at the foot of the mount between Pisa and Lucca, there still moves the apparition of Teresa della Seta Bocca Gaetani, of famed beauty, descendant of an ancient Pisan family and given in marriage, in 1755, to the Count Cosimo Baldassarre Agostini. It seems that the noblewoman appears every now and then in the rooms of the mansion, moving tapestries and ornaments. Other times she has been known to slam doors and open windows. Some of the local peasants recall her arriving on certain nights by the light of the full moon. She appears on the drive of the park leading a coach and six, and then stops on the bend of the Ragnaia (“Cobweb cornerâ€ÂÂ, so-called from the old name for the nets that hunters formerly used in the woods to capture small birds) to cast a glance towards the home where she once lived happily. The ghost, obviously of good nature, has been heard other times hurrying along and giggling in the underground passages of the villa, beneath the large wine cellars. The years go by and stories are told and retold, and there are still those who recall the evening in which there was the sound of an almighty clatter as one of the crystal chandeliers of the hall crashed to the floor. Those present dashed to the hall, only to discover on arriving there, that the chandelier was very much in its place. And still today odd episodes occur … The area of the Pisa hills was already an attraction for enlightened travellers in the first half of the 1700s with the growth of the thermal spa of San Giuliano, which became a fashionable spot for the well-off classes. The mansions on the road along the hills, already renowned as places of gentle idleness and relaxation in the heart of the countryside and also for their small industrial facilities for the transformation of agricultural products, soon assumed the characteristics of true leisure resorts, just like those narrated by Carlo Goldoni and which we can continue to enjoy today. ros Pisa - San Giuliano Terme - Italy - Tuscany Journeying on to Florence through the Tuscan countryside: Lucca, Pisa, Siena, Arezzo and other delightful towns dot the road to Pisa where who are guested of the Agostini family Villa di Corliano.

Sandra Jordan Go see Ambaraluwa in Sri Lanka http://sumithwickramasinghe.tripod.com York - - - Great Britain Suddenly backpackers wanting to see rural Sri Lanka are talking about the lovely village of Ambaraluwa near Gampaha - in the western part of the island. Ambaraluwa is accessible by bus - if you want to see a different side to Sri Lanka then visit the rural village hamlets like Ambaraluwa. It is well worth the visit. You can base yourself in Gampaha - there is a reasonable rest house. Travelling to rural Sri Lanka is an experience.You get some lovely cashewnuts in Gampaha by the way. Ambaraluwa is where Sumith Wickramasinghe was born. There is a really interesting website http://sumithwickramasinghe.tripod.com - it\'s like reading a book on someone you haven\'t come across before and yet you are taken on a journey through his life and it is a journey through Sri Lanka and the history of the island. I found the life story of Sumith Wickramasinghe so absorbing - he seemed such an interesting person.Many Sri Lankans are like him. Ambaraluwa is highly recommended to backpackers wanting to meet the lovely people of this lovely island. Can\'t believe how friendly they are. Well worth looking at the place where Sumith Wickramasinghe was born. You get fed up of beaches beaches beaches all the time and these hotels in Sri Lanka look all the same so it\'s nice to \'opt out\' do something different on the eco-tourism trail and travelling to Ambaraluwa where you can have a dialogue with people in rural hamlets - it\'s an added bonus to your trip and you actually learn something new. Why didn\'t Sri Lankan Airlines tell me about Ambaraluwa? It would be great to have more information on eco-tourism in Sri Lanka.
