Antarctica: planning the trip of a lifetime – Lonely Planet.

Whilst Antarctica is a highly desirable travel destination for those that adore spectacular scenery and wildlife, as this article clearly demonstrates, this sort of holiday is either a once in the lifetime trip, or the preserve of the wealthy.

Any thoughts?

This article by Lonely Planet is good introduction to the temples of Bagan. It’s WORTH A READ. Check it out!

Experience 21: Go temple-bagging, by bike, in Bagan.

We visited Began in December 2012 and it was spectacular. [Open this link to see our reflections in our blog – at the foot of each page, on the left, open link to older posts to see all three articles on Began].

I would strongly recommend trying to visit Began before it becomes too commercialized and on the mass-tourism circuit.

Any thoughts?
