The Ancient Roots of Barry, South Wales: Part 3.

By Owen Jones

Barry Castle belonged to William de Barri in the 12th. Century, but was destroyed by Llewellyn Bren in-16. Some say it was later rebuilt and used by the Cavaliers only to be destroyed again by the Roundheads, never to be reconstructed.

The Norman invaders were thoroughly detested by the local people and they had to build large mansions to defend themselves from frequent assaults on them by the people of the valleys and the mountains. During the reign of Henry III, there were 12 castles within six miles of Barry. In Glamorgan, there were 30 castles and in South Wales as a whole there were 150 !

Porthkerry and its church which lies on the wooded hill to the west of it are said to have taken their name from Ceri, who, in turn, is said to have founded a port there, ie 'Port Ceri'. People say that Ceri ap Caid, the King of Essyllwg, lived in Porthkerry before the Christian era and that his bard, Corvinor, was the first to build a ship with sails and a rudder for the 'race of Cymru'. Some believe that Ceri was a nephew or grandson of Caractacus (Caradog) and that he took over the leadership of the government in South Wales when Caractacus had to journey to Rome.

John Wesley preached in the Porthkerry Church pulpit, and sometimes outside too, between 1741 and 1743. There are two very old churches still in use today in Barry, St. Cadocs Church in Cadoxton and Merthyr Dyfan Church in Merthyr Dyfan. One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, Cadoxton was the largest village in the Barry area: for example, in'44 the Parliamentary register contained 25 names: 20 from Cadoxton and five from Barry. The one church was dedicated to St. Cadoc, who used to spend Lent on Flat Holm and Barry Island. The village took its name from the church, which was founded in 800 AD.

Merthyr Dyfan Church was founded in 600 AD and the name means Dyfan The Martyr. There were two saints of this name: one came to Barry to Christianize the inhabitants; the second lived in the 6th. Century and was the son of a Welsh chieftain. His sister was also martyred, giving her name to the town of Merthyr Tydfil.

The Christian faith grew very quickly in the Vale of Glamorgan and in the middle of the second century, the Prince of Siluria, Llewrwg, became the first king, of any country in the world in all history, to be baptized into the Christian faith. He sent to Rome for more Chritian teachers and was sent two monks named Dyfan and Fagan. Dyfan was martyred near the church and the Fagan was canonized. St. Fagan's situated between Barry and Cardiff was named after him. - 29948

Making A Choice Of Ibiza's Beaches Could Be Difficult

By Tom Binns

Imagine an island with balmy waters, fine weather and about 80 beaches to choose from, and chances are you are thinking about Ibiza's Beaches. For fun in the sun you simply can not beat this popular island.

What makes these beaches so sought after by tourists from all over the world as well as those lucky enough to live on the island, is the interesting fact that you can reach any beach you like by car and within 30 minutes, no matter where you are on the island.

Simply hop on local transport and get going until you find a beach that talks to you and your mood. Lots of people will lift down trotted spirits within minutes, so find any of the crowded beaches and simply blend into the party.

Many of the beaches avoid the parties and are kept for sleeping in the sun. Keep an eye out for deck chair boys that will not only bring you a lovely chair, but are more than willing to help you put on that mostly needed sunscreen or even deliver drinks to beat the sun with.

The weather on Ibiza simply never disappoints, but from time to time some strong winds may spoil your day on the beach. The solution? Drive to the other side of the Island where the wind should be much less of a problem. This might sound like an elaborate journey, but it only takes thirty minutes to reach the beach on the opposite side of this island.

Every youngster dreams of the day he or she will strut their stuff on the balmy beaches of Ibiza and so every summer the place becomes one massive party that never gets quite or stops the music - not even for a minute. Should you tire of this quickly and need some peace, simply choose less popular beaches that time of year where you probably will find all the like minded people. - 29948

The Balearics As A Hot Destination

By Tom Binns

If you have heard anything about the Balearics, or the chain of Balearic Islands, you probably know that they are a Spanish province set out in the Western section of the Med. As Mediterranean destinations go, the Europeans have been travelling here for decades. You will never find a place quite like it, nor will you find such legend and mystery surrounding the history of an island chain.

Without any true documentation of the original inhabitants of the island chain, many different versions of the potential truth have been created. It was once thought that the very first visitors to the island were actually cast offs from a Boeotian ship that wrecked offshore. These visitors were said to have formed their own society. Others believe that the island was empty until after the infamous Trojan War, where the islands were settled in the quest for conquer.

In recent history those from Northern Europe have found the Balearics to be a favorite destination for holidays. With ample amenities for chartering and boat hire as well as a great lay out for relaxed visiting, these islands are known for their friendly and spirited nature. Guests of the islands can expect to have exquisite treatment as well as a fun based experience.

While it is officially considered a province of Spain, the Balearics are also very much a melting pot. Those who visit the islands tend to fall in love with windswept beaches, beautiful clean waters and magical inspiration. Many writers and poets have landed on these islands and have found the inspiration so strong they rarely left.

If you...apos;re there to find a party, be sure to stop by the island of Ibiza. This is an island where anything goes, and often does, and provided your actions hurt no one they are perfectly acceptable.

For a quieter coastal holiday you shouldn...apos;t miss the very popular destination of Mallorca. This is a family friendly setting with all the fun and trimmings one would expect from an island getaway. Every year, at least 6 million visitors make sure that the island stays popular. - 29948

By Tom Binns

Formentera is the smallest Balearic Island it's 13 miles long, 35 miles squared, and is home to around 7000 people. It's by far one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Set against a sky blue back drop it's dusty little roads meander to some of the most amazing beaches you will ever see.

Formentera is only a stone throw away from Ibiza, but the white beaches and the turquoise sea give you this relaxed magic Caribbean feeling. It's like being in another world. A world where you can get away from the madness that can sometimes consume Ibiza.

You can catch the fast boat to the Island which departs every 2 hours from Ibiza arriving only 30 minutes later in. Once on the island you can see it's many trees which include Sabina fig pine and palm. If you arrive by private boat (you can charter one cheaply from Ibiza) you will get to see it's finest features the fantastic white beaches which seem to go on for ever.

Formentera is well known for its fresh seafood with grilled fish and local fish stews being perennial favorites. Although don't be fooled a lot of sea food is actually imported from Scotland! The sea food restaurants on the beach can be very expensive.

If you've never been to this beautiful island you must go the pictures don't do it justice. It has beautiful beaches and clear water as well as spectacular inland scenery. The weather is fine most of the year. I'd recommend you go between May and October and stay clear of August.

Finally I would recommend that you go and see the island by boat. They are cheaper than you think and there are many options to choose from. Just ask one of the search engines. - 29948

A Rougher Guide To Ibiza

By Tom Binns

Ibiza is the most western island of the Balearic Islands, and human habitation dates from at least 5000 BC. If all you know of Ibiza is the trashy TV show that play on Satellite TV then you're in for a bit of a pleasant surprise when you come and visit. Ibiza is hilly and has sandy Calas and rocks and the most beautiful beaches and sandy shores of the Mediterranean.

Ibiza Town retains all its past glory and whilst commercialism has brought some high rise hotels there are also still some great places of character. Most of the hotels are open from April through October only. Ibiza has an incredible mix of cultures, the Spanish, this hippies, the clubbers, the media types, the glitterati from across Europe, the old school posh English

Ibiza weather is superb, with over 300 days of sunshine per year. However if you arrive in May-June and September-October you'll find the weather is still good and you won't have to deal with crowds of drunken holidaymakers. The weather or more unpredictable can be nice through November.

San Antonio is very popular, especially to people looking to escape the unpredictable British weather and enjoy almost guaranteed summer sun. It's full of the wrong type of tourists though if you want to get away from England. Most of the English here prefer to holiday in their football shirts.

Ibiza has lots to offer no matter what type of holiday you are after. You sure to have an amazing time in the Balearics. It's worth pointing out that ibiza pretty much closes down for the winter once the clubs shut in October. Which is a shame as it's a great place to visit all year around. - 29948

A Quick Look At To Formentera

By Tom Binns

With a population of just over 7000 Formentera is the perfect island for those looking for a break with peace and tranquility. It is quite simply heaven right here on earth.

Formentera is a very small island, dwarfed by its close neighbor Ibiza, it is quiet and un-spoilt by tourism, though growing in popularity each year. It couldn't be further away in atmosphere than Ibiza. You could easily imagine you were in the Caribbean.

You can catch the fast boat to the Island which departs every 2 hours from Ibiza arriving only 30 minutes later in. Once on the island you can see it's many trees which include Sabina fig pine and palm. If you arrive by private boat (you can charter one cheaply from Ibiza) you will get to see it's finest features the fantastic white beaches which seem to go on for ever.

It does not have an airport and is only accessible by sea and that's how the "wet set" get there in super yachts and expensive boats. Many go to eat on the fashionable restaurants on the beach who's prices are geared up to serve the super rich.

I can't recommend this island highly enough to you. If you ever find yourself on Ibiza please make the effort to go. Go for it's beaches it's scenery it's tranquility. I'd go between May and Oct and I'd stay clear of August - that's when it gets too crowded.

and finally I'm not biased but one of the best ways to see the island is by private boat (not necessarily mine). There are many different kinds available for Charter in Ibiza and all at reasonable prices. Just ask your local friendly search engine. - 29948

Cheap Flights From London to Frankfurt Are Easy to Find

By Donald Bannantyne

One of the must-see cities that tourists should see when they visit Europe is Frankfurt, Germany's fifth largest city. In Frankfurt there are lots of historical buildings, museums, grand churches, opera houses, and modern skyscrapers that can literally take your breath away.

But you probably don't want to walk round a city from dawn to dusk - an excellent way of 'chilling out' at the end of a long day is to experience Frankfurt's nightlife. We found may excellent bistros in the city, but there were restaurants for most tastes - and nightclubs for most tastes too!

Frankfurt has so much to offer, you shouldn't have too much difficulty finding something that you like. It's ideal for a weekend break - but before you put Frankfurt in your itinerary, where can you find cheap flights from London to Frankfurt?

-- Flight Carriers That Fly From London to Frankfurt --

One of the airlines that fly from London to Frankfurt and back on a regular basis is Swiss International. Although they're a fairly recent addition to the pan-European air service, they're quickly becoming popular. Although Swiss International might not be that well known in the UK they're actually the biggest airline in Switzerland.

BA (British Airways) is another airline which flies directly between Frankfurt and London. The biggest airline in the United Kingdom, BA has to be one of the most widely recognised airlines in the world. In fact, any big international airport that doesn't offer British Airways flights is probably in the minority.

A third flight operator that I'd like to take a look at BMI - otherwise known as British Midland Airways. BMI also offer regular flights from London to Frankfurt. Another international carrier, BMI actually carry more than 10% of all passengers that leave and airport in London.

The fifth biggest airline in the world is Lufthansa - Deutsche Lufthansa. Lufthansa are another airline that flies between London and Frankfurt. Lufthansa is of course Germany's biggest airline.

-- Departure Times For Flights From London to Frankfurt --

Swiss International has regular flights between Frankfurt and London. Flight times at the moment are 12.25, 18.00 and 20.40 although those times may be different, depending on when you are reading this article.

British Airways flies earlier, its first flight leaving at 7:25 in the morning. Last flight is at to 6:35pm.

An even earlier option is BMI - it's first flight leaves at an eye watering 6.25am! Further BMI flights leave at 9:05 am, 11:50 am, 2:15 pm, 5:05 pm, 6:05 pm, 7:05 pm, and 8:05 pm which means that BMI probably offer the most flying time options. Lufthansa offers fairly similar flying times.

-- Cheapest Tickets and Departure/Arrival Airports --

The cheapest ticket prices at the time of writing were through Swiss Airlines, return prices coming out at a little more than 100. Swiss Airlines flies from London Heathrow Airport, flying directly to Frankfurt International Airport.

The cheapest single ticket for British Airways to fly from London to Frankfurt starts at just 50. Like Swiss Airlines, departure airport is London Heathrow with arrival airport being Frankfurt International.

The other 2 airlines that we highlighted - BMI and Lufthansa - also fly between Heathrow and Frankfurt international. Your main considerations should be time of flight or cost - and for course you'll be much more likely to find cheap flights from London to Frankfurt if you book as far in advance as possible. - 29948

I Saw The Queen From My Cheap Hotel Room

By David Anderson

London is one of the hottest hotel break destinations in the world and annually many thousands of tourists visit the British capital city. The city of London has many years of history, stunning historical buildings and of course lots of interesting attractions, even the queen stays there.

One of the hardest things to discover in London is a good quality hotel at a low-cost price. If you want to be in the center of all the action then you would usually have to pay a lot more for than you would if you were staying five miles away. The secret is to try and find a hotel that strikes the right balance between the price and location.

There are numerous costly 4 and five star hotels throughout central London that may cost you a lot of money unless you shop around and take a few easy measures.

First thing to do is to make sure that your visit does not take place in the middle of any large events in London as the low cost hotels will probably be booked up for these dates well in advance. So do not pick any dates where there is a cup final on at wembley stadium or any other large event. A quick look on the official London council web site will give you a list of yearly events.

It may be that you are going to London for a big event and are having problems getting lodgings at any property. There is a possible solution by utilizing the web site of Hotel Breaks as they have extra rooms to sell by many of the London hotels. Even when the hotel itself is full Hotel Breaks may still have availability.

If you have any acquaintances or relatives in or near London as it may be a good thought to ask if they have any localized knowledge of a suitable hotel that you could stay at. The important thing is to look around and make sure you get accommodation that is not along way away. You do not want to be using your vacation time and cash traveling to where you actually preferred to be in the first place. - 29948

So Much Beauty in Europe

By Graham McKenzie

If you're heading to Europe this summer, you're in for so many treats. The elegance of ancient cities and splendor of architecture is rich and vast. Virtually every country and local is very accessible by air, there are hardly any limitations. Plan ahead and take into account the many amazing places and sights to take in. From Venice to Rome, and Paris to Greece, you'll have a wealth of places to choose from.

There are many beautiful places to visit and see in Europe, which no traveler should miss. Some of these destinations include: The Roman Coliseum, The Eiffel Tower, The Acropolis, Tower Bridge, La Sagrada Familia, St. Michaeliskirche Church, and Buckingham Palace.

The Roman Coliseum is one can't miss site to explore while you are in Rome. This grand structure was originally an amphitheater with seating for 50,000. Another famous landmark you should not skip seeing is the Eiffel Tower. A famous architectural landmark, at 984 feet, this tower is one of the tallest buildings in the world, and offers a breathtaking view of Paris.

While traveling Europe this summer, you should also visit this important historical site, located in Athens. The Acropolis is an ancient ruins that has amazing views of Athens. While you are there you can also visit the Parthenon. Be sure to go early in the day or later in the afternoon when it cools down!

Moving on to London, would a trip to Europe be complete without visiting the famous Buckingham palace? We certainly don't think so. Watch the changing of the guard and see the home of British royalty. And while you're there, we highly recommend taking the time to visit Tower Bridge. Overlooking much of London, this beautiful structure is a site to behold, and is especially beautiful at night. This bridge is over the Thames, and is actually a different bridge than the famous London Bridge. London Bridge is upstream, and equally recommended for a visit while you're there.

If you're able to make your way to Spain, head to Barcelona and see La Sagrada Familia. A church designed by the famous architect, Antoni Gaudi, using new and innovative designs for its time. Antoni died before it's completion while it was still under construction.In Germany, St. Michaelis Church should certainly be given some of your time. Take in the sights of Hamburg and its time honored traditions.

The British Royalty residential place called Buckingham palace is also one of the places to visit. On your travel to Europe, if it is ended without visiting this palace, where the queen of England lives, there is no meaning for your Europe trip. You will have a chance in august or September to visit inside the palace and you can see the particular rooms in it. - 29948

When using credit cards, make sure that the establishment or shop looks alright. Credit cards provide valuable consumer protection and the best currency exchange rates as well.

Here is one very valuable travel tip to keep a lost or stolen wallet from bringing your vacation to an abrupt end. Many seasoned travelers pack an extra wallet in their suitcase or backpack. This wallet will contain only a credit card or two and perhaps an ATM card. That way, if you lose your primary wallet, you still have access to ready cash for the rest of your cheap travel.

Carry only those things which you can take care of. If you are going for a campfire then there is no point in carrying your television. Similarly, if you are going out with kids then the safety of kids becomes very important. The best travel times are between April to July. If you are planning to go during off season then acquiring knowledge becomes even more important.

If you are planning to visit a foreign country then carrying your identity documents, passports and visa become very important. The foreign authorities can demand your documents anytime when you are in their country, so it is always advisable to keep the documents along with you all the time. The security and safety of these documents should be done with utmost care because if they are lost or misplaced then you can find yourself in great trouble. Selecting and booking hotels before visiting the place actually is also an intelligent act. This is a part of planning the trip and once you know about your destinations, activities then you can certainly save your time, money and energy in an alien land.

An often overlooked tip is to register online for different magazines and newspapers for travel and your destination. This will help you to be informed and plan properly.

Carrying a checklist and checking it from time to time is very important so that you do not forget to carry something important. Mostly, in excitement people forget important things like travel tickets, passport and spoil the whole show. Stay calm, relax and just enjoy your vacations irrespective of the location you are going to. - 29948

The Wonders Of Florence

By Graham McKenzie

The Uffizi Gallery contains the most important, in some of the world's greatest art collection. This is also the world's oldest museum. Most tour books and online travel sites will urge you to ensure that Uffiizi access to any part as a Florence vacation, no matter how short-lived. Most of what can not tell you, or at least enough to emphasis that there is no pre-booking tickets, you may be unable to visit the Uffizi!

In April of 2005 my wife and I took a trip to Florence. We had of course planned on visiting the Uffizi Gallery and upon getting there we immediately tried to purchase tickets. Our calls were unfortunately not answered. Hotel reception had no better luck, and they informed us that our three day stay might not be long enough to even get our call answered. We went there in person but were confronted with long lines that did not seem to ever move. So we were forced to see what other attractions Florence had to offer us.

The second evening in the city we learned that we were in luck! Unfortunately, the tickets were only good for the following day, so to see the gallery we had to miss many of the other sights we had planned on seeing. The biggest lesson we learned on this trip in regards to seeing Florence is to book Uffizi Gallery tickets online well before ever leaving on your trip.

Tip 2 inside the Cathedral A miracle that can not miss the other is the cathedral of Florence. In fact, it is impossible to miss this magnificent architecture, because it led the city can be seen from almost everywhere. Taste of its views, while enjoying the coffee shops around the square for coffee. Around it, to suspend it from time to time to appreciate all its aspects. View it from a more distant ring elevated, position. This was once the world's largest church, even now, nearly six centuries after the completion of which is the fourth largest. Florence has always been the biggest and the best, but what really unique is its cathedral all adhere to the dome or "cupola." When the Fillipo Brunelleschi bear the Renaissance architectural masterpiece, that such a dome is possible to anyone. The secret has lost a thousand years, but went to Rome, Brunelleschi solved by checking the dome of the ancient Temple of it.

As impressive as it is from the outside though, it has to be seen from the inside to be truly appreciated. You can climb it by means of the stairway inside the dome, between its inner and outer shells. From the top, the view of the Tuscan countryside is absolutely magnificent! Unfortunately the gallery was never finished, so you will have access only to looking towards the north and the west.

3 Palazzo Vecchio - David replication techniques Perhaps in the future of Florence's most famous landmark is the Palazzo Vecchio. Again, this is a worthy from the outside on the enjoyment of every aspect of the entry, to explore its fascinating, full of art, interior decoration construction. I Palazzo Vecchio technique is to look at a few minutes to spare no effort in pollution coloring the world's most famous statue of replication, Recognizing that, despite the original Michelangelo's David is safe within the copy of the Institute of the Arts where once stood the original??.

4 Arno River in the past prompted This technique is back from the city's busiest tourist attractions, and through the Lo Wu Old Bridge is the Arno River. In this piece of magic, and historic bridge may be more closely compared with the central outdoor plaza you have just left, but in each other's 100 meters packed with people, they have thin, you can explore the cuisine of the Boboli Gardens and the former walked the winding path to the Piazzo overlooking the beautiful Michelangelo in Florence and the surrounding areas of the Hill Station Palazzo Pitti.

Avoiding "Stendhal Syndrome" Every year, some tourists succumb to a condition known as ?Stendhal Syndrome.? Named after a nineteenth century tourist, it?s symptoms range from feeling faint to complete exhaustion.

Book Your Family On A Unique Trip To Oslo Norway And Enjoy Europe's Natural Beauty

By Ingrid R. Holstein

If you would like to explore some of northern Europe and see some of the most alluring images of natural beauty, then Norway is the country to go. The main driving force behind Norway tourism is the natural fjords that have scarred the earth. It's quite a site to see the narrow and deep inlets of bodies of water that are connected to the sea and the steep slopes of the mountains. It is areal treat for the eyes when you first lay them upon the fjords.

Located at the northern edge of the European continent, Norway gives you pretty much everything that a real traveler would want. Nevertheless, fjords are just the beginning of temptations in Norway as no world traveler can deny the allurement of the North Cape's midnight sun. And if you are yet looking for more, then you will want to come to Tromso. The unique city, situated just above the Arctic Circle, calls on you to savor a truly out of the ordinary experience. This is the city where the sun never rises in winter and never goes down in the midst of summer.

The capital of Norway is Oslo and it also is a major financial center as it's a main key in the oil industry that Norway possesses.

Due to the lack of population density and distribution being skewed (very small compared to other European cities) you can find some very strange aspects regarding the country you won't find in any other country. For instance the largest glacier in Europe, Josteldalsbreen, is located right in the midst of the urban area of Norway.

If you are looking forward to getting involved in outdoor activities, opt for either skiing, fishing or rock climbing. All of these activities are quite awesome in Norway. People who want to enjoy the tranquility can opt to get a look at the high mountain lakes and steep side valleys; these are another temptation of Norway Travel.

As the fjords begin to get more attention tourists are starting to desire tours to Norway to see these natural phenomenon. The unique identity that Norway possesses stems from the enchanting scenery. Norway is an ideal destination for tourists from all over the world. If you desire checking out Norway and its natural beauty, you should book a vacation now. Numerous online travel guides are available to help assist you in planning you trip to Norway. If you want to find the lowest prices use an online reservation on Norway or Oslo cheap hotels.

You can land in any other European country and make your entry into the country from there. Driving or taking a train are both completely acceptable.

I am quite sure you will enjoy this year round travel spot. Summers are beautiful and winter is the best time for those who love to ski and snowboard or just have a real snowy Christmas. Don't forget that the 1994 Olympics were held in Lillehammer, Norway which is located not far north of Oslo. - 29948
