- * On my foodie site The Gooseberry Fool, I share my dining experiences in Kraków, Poland.
- * Kim at Wild About Writing + Travel shares her top 10 things to do in Havana, Cuba.
- * On Sheila Scarborough’s new and improved family travel site, now at its new home at FamilyTravelLogue, she reminds us of the importance of having the airline’s telephone number rather than relying on airport staff in the case of delays or cancellation.
- * Fancy living in a cardboard box? Intelligent Travel brings us news of a hotel made out of shipping containers. It’s just out of London, though I don’t think I’ll be rushing to take a look based on the photographs.
- * Also on Intelligent Travel, I like the look of these lightweight canvas shoes with a conscience. Actually, I seem to have starred half a dozen Intelligent Travel posts in my RSS reader on subjects as diverse as Mexican cooking classes and whale watching by kayak in British Columbia so I suggest you simply head there directly and peruse at your leisure!
- * Interesting twist on animal rights - apparently PETA is buying Sea World. The theme parks are being sold off and PETA is interested in buying at least one, in San Antonia, Orlando or San Diego.
- * Foodie blogger Jessica on Ripe London takes us on a personal tour of Amsterdam, with plenty of time to indulge in pancakes, Thai food and cocktails.
- * World Hum debates the rise of female-only beaches in Egypt.
- * Finally on Gadling, this English language name for a restaurant in China is hilarious. Lost in translation, perhaps?
