Srilanka Villas

Posted by admin on May 2, 2012

There are few islands in the world that can boast a landscape that is so diverse and varied. Those visiting Srilanka cannot but be impressed by its chameleon like charm, its rich multicultural vibe and its warm, welcoming people. Despite Srilanka’s popularity with the visitors, it still feels like an untouched paradise – a paradise that is best savoured by staying in Srilanka villas.
Srilanka offers something for everyone – what ever your taste, you’ll find something to keep you occupied. And in case you want to spend some time with your loved ones, you can enjoy the facilities offered to you in your Srilanka villas.

The island has some great sun-drenched beaches, some with lively social vibe and others more secluded and offering more privacy and space. The beaches attract a fair share of visitors and so the popular beaches have on offer several Srilanka villas within walking distance from the waters. Even though the beach is right at the doorstep, some luxury Srilanka villas have their own swimming pools complete with outdoor dining facilities and deck chairs.

Srilanka is also famous for its tea estates, with hillsides as far as the eyes can see covered with tea plantations. The Hill Country is especially scenic – stay in Srilanka villas reflecting colonial bungalows style and appreciate the misty peaks of the surrounding mountains while sipping tea in your own private space.
Venture away from the beaches, and you can visit some great architectural sites and heritage buildings. The country encompasses within its compact size not less than seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, ancient temples and other places of historic interest.

See the ancient Sinhalese ruins of the Cultural Triangle or Kandy’s revered Temple of the Tooth. The south-west stretch links the water sports capital of Bentota to the historic 17th century fortified city of Galle. Then there is Tangalle, the most developed, accessible and popular town in the area. It is here that most of Srilanka’s villas can be found.
The wildlife buffs can explore the island’s national parks where leopards, elephants and bears roam free; and the warm turquoise seas where you can see whales and dolphins, and scuba to coral reefs. Set base in Srilanka villas and indulge in some great water sports or alternatively, opt for a safari into the jungles, botanical gardens and national parks to appreciate the rich and diverse flora and fauna.

The island’s geography and its multi-ethnic community are reflected in the national cuisine. Spices, particularly cinnamon, feature strongly in the island’s wonderful curries. Enjoy a fine dining experience in world-class restaurants or try out the sumptuous food in the roadside stalls. Or else, after a well-spent day outdoors, return to the comfort of your Srilanka villas and be pampered by the meals prepared to your taste by the cook.

A stay in Srilanka villas will make your trip to the island more exciting and meaningful. You will get an opportunity to live amongst the locals and experience first-hand their culture and lifestyle. Besides, you get your own space and privacy to spend quality time with your loved ones away from the prying eyes of strangers.

The Australian Museum – Best Sydney Hotels

Posted by admin on March 26, 2012

australian museum sydney hotelsPublished by Sydney Hotels – The Australian Museum was established in 1827, presenting the country’s first comprehensive collection of natural artifacts. Opened to the public in 1857, the museum is Sydney’s foremost contribution in the field of natural history.

The museum is housed in three-storied sandstone Grecian building that captivates visitors with its splendid architecture. Built in neo-classical style, the museum is home to artifacts not only from Australia, but also from Papua New Guinea and other countries of the Pacific region. The exhibits are from areas of interest like mineralogy, birds, reptiles and insects.

One of the most popular exhibits here is that of dinosaurs. Towering skeletal remains of the extinct mammoths that dominated earth millions of years ago never fail to impress visitors. Other attractions include modern reptiles and birds like emus, cockatoos, honeyeaters, bowerbirds and lyrebirds. Prominent among them is a night parrot, one of 24 such specimens available worldwide.

The museum offers help in making the study of birds, reptiles and mammals interesting. It has informative displays explaining why birds have hollow bones and why they developed feathers. Skeleton specimens of diverse living things provide visitors an excellent opportunity to study their body structure.

Insect Gallery draws huge crowds with its amazing collection of insects, some of them found only in Australia. The exhibits reveal how poisonous funnel spiders are and the interesting story behind the Australian Upside-Down Fly. Kids especially enjoy learning more about the country’s 300 different species of snails, scary scorpions, hairy spiders and blood-sucking leeches.

Not all exhibits are scary and repulsive. The museum’s vast and varied butterfly collection is beautiful, interesting and informative.

Non-living world also finds ample representation here with Albert Chapman Mineral Collection. Though miniscule compared to New York or London collections, it has many a gem (pun intended). The collection has specimens from all over the world, but the highlight is on Australian minerals. Together with the actual specimens, the museum provides computer displays offering detailed information about them.

Book Sydney 5 star hotels and save money.

The Planet of Minerals exhibition is an adjunct to the mineral collection. Here more information is available about rocks found in Sydney Harbor (officially known as Port Jackson). The exhibition explains how rocks and minerals are formed, how the Earth changed over millions of years, how limestone caves are formed, how volcanoes erupt and what are meteorites. The star exhibit is a 4.2 billion year old zircon found from Western Australia. Precious stones also find a place here at Gem Vault. 

Being an island nation, Australia has close ties with sea and its treasures. The collection has an extensive array of shells and fossils sourced locally. The museum is too vast to be covered in a short visit. Visitors may come prepared to spend the day or reconcile to multiple visits.

At the museum, parking is expensive. So, visitors may opt for train and get off at Museum Station or St James Station. Or else, George Street bus is another cost-effective and hassle-free alternative. Bus riders may get down at Town Hall and walk up Park Street to reach the museum.
