Heart of birds

 

I have been having such a great time of late reading lots of travel books & blogs, networking with other travel bloggers, planning future trips and organising  exciting new things for Champagne Travel on a Beer Budget that I forgot one tiny little detail… posting articles!  To make it up to you I can promise lots of new content coming in and will leave you with my online travel finds of the week.

If you don’t want to miss out on the latest tips and ideas for enjoying champagne travel on a beer budget, make sure you subscribe.

It is Friday afternoon here in Australia and I am looking forward to a relaxing champers in the sun this afternoon on the second last day of Summer.

What are your plans this weekend? Apart from satisfying your wanderlust by checking out the following links…

 

In honor of Friday afternoon drinks, here are some great resources for finding funky places to enjoy a beverage or two whilst travelling:

World’s Best Bars is a great place to start when researching a town you’re travelling to. It features mainly the more well-known bars but helps you get your bearing of what’s hip.

When it comes to going out for drinks in Australia, my opinion is that Melbourne is where its at. Don’t believe me? Check out Travel Muse’s post on Melbourne’s Coolest Bars.

Concierge reports on the world’s biggest party… Carnival!

I look forward to enjoying un verre de vin rouge here in the not too distant future!

And in non-alcohol related travel news…

Lara at Cool Travel Guide has written a great series on Travel by Twitter. If you tweet, say hello here.

For those of us that are regular users of airfare search & comparison site Kayak, you might be interested to know that Kayak are now including hotel rates. Great for booking quick trips.

Happy travels…

Here’s the latest online offerings in the world of budget travel:

The ever useful Frommers Price Index for May 2008. Find out just how far your dollar will take you everywhere from Trindad to Tokyo.

Budget Travel provides great ideas for making European travel more affordable by travelling by bike.

Brave New Traveller has us thinking about the importance of travelling with an open mind.

Budget Globetrotting posts on learning languages while travelling . And the best bit? All the resources they mention are free.

So pour yourself a glass of champers & settle back for some great travel reading this weekend.

As for me, I am off to spend the weekend in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley Wine Region. I’ll be sure to report back with lots of great tips for budget travel in wine regions.

Have a great weekend Champagne Travellers!
