WORLDS SMALLEST POP-UP HOTEL

There are lots of novelty hotels about and this Airstream static caravan accommodation adds to the list perfectly. In fact it's known as the World's Smallest Pop-Up Hotel.

It was last seen and heard about when it was situated in London, UK last year in honour of British tourism week where a competition allowed several winners to stay there over a period of a week only.
The 29 foot by 7 foot hotel was taken across different landmark locations in London such as The London Eye, London Zoo, Covent Garden amongst others.

It has all the furnishings you would expect in one of London's luxury hotel rooms along with a first class service too such as room service, concierge and a check in desk.
The hotel was always placed close to plenty of attractions, shops and restaurants though in case you wanted to venture out a little and take in what London has to offer.
I think this is a great idea to get tourists into the area. I'm guessing this pop-up hotel has been moved around quite a lot since London. I wonder where it is based now?

KEEP THE WIND OUT: Sunroof Deflectors

The summer sun can make a really unpleasant experience when you're inside your car as you have got no where to go apart from there in that stuffy atmosphere.

Of course you can open your windows and sunroof but then you end up feeling like your in a wind tunnel not a car. So surely there has to be some sort of compromise here?

I started looking for information and found out that you can actually get a sunroof visor that acts as a wind deflector. It will re-direct the wind elsewhere instead of straight into your car and cut down the loud outside noise you usually get. This in turn will give you that fresh air and cool down you need without the harsh winds affecting your journey in any way.

Plus they will also act as a safety measure too and prevent any stones or debris from coming in your car.

You can get a premium collection of sunroof wind deflectors from online auto accessories provider CARiD that have brand named products such as Weathertech.

There are lots of different styles and colours to choose from - all of high a quality that would suit most if not all types of cars.

7 FOOT HOME: One Of The Smallest In The UK

I'm always fascinated to hear about these unusual and novelty homes. This house probably doesn't look that abnormal from the outside and could perhaps be mistaken for the side or an extension of a normal house. But it is actually the whole house!

This 7 foot wide home based in Framlingham, Suffolk, UK was originally part of a steam mill then was converted into a betting shop and then 8 years ago transformed into the home you see today.
The house has now been put on the property market for sale at a whopping £95,000. Its being marketed as one of the smallest houses in the country as well as the last remaining Victorian part of the steam mill. Sadly the rest of the mill was completely redeveloped or demolished to make room for new buildings.
With just 308 square feet inside you can still find a lounge, kitchen, shower room and one bedroom. But bizarrely the living areas are in a kind of upside down design with you having to go up the stairs to get to your lounge and kitchen and on the ground floor is the bedroom and the bathroom.

If you look at the third picture above here it looks like its been photo shopped and someone has erased half the house doesn't it!?

Could you live in a house like this?

LAS VEGAS GUIDE: Plan Your Perfect Trip

Las Vegas is a brilliant vibrant place to be that's full of things to do. It's probably most famous for the wedding chapels and party lifestyle but there is so much more to it than that.

In fact for people who like a quieter time there are numerous las vegas golf courses, art galleries, speciality shops, spas and museums.

Then of course on the nighttime the place really comes to life with the many bars, nightclubs, concerts, shows, comedy clubs amongst others.

There is a website called wheretraveller.com that's a perfect las vegas guide for finding out more about las vegas shopping , tours or whatever else you love to do.

The editors can give you expert in depth information and recommendations of the best places to go. One of my favourite things I saw is the vast amount of restaurants to choose from where you can find anything from a burger bar to a swanky seafood restaurant.

And because WhereTraveller have been providing people with magazines, maps and guidebooks for over 75 years for destinations across the world they are seen as a trusted and reliable source.

Have a look around yourself and see if there is anything that catches your eye to tempt you into a Las Vegas break.

THE JAPAN EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI DISASTER

I was really saddened to hear about the recent earthquake turned into a 500mph tsunami that has devastated Japan. News of this has spread worldwide and shocking and disturbing videos of it happening have been released across the Internet.

This one here I found shows the start. And if you fast forward to 1 minute 22 you can see the hitting point.

Its been seen as Japans most powerful earthquake on record. As you can see in detail in the video the tsunami waves ripped through homes effortlessly and pulled ships and cars under the water.

The tsunami has stole the lives of about 11,000 people so far where people have been listed as dead or missing. 450,000 homeless survivors have been forced to sleep in temporary shelters or camp out on the floor of school gyms.

Rescue teams and military forces have been bought in and from outside the country as well in a bid to get through the rubble and hopefully find trapped people. In more recent news fears of a nuclear power station overheating after cooling systems failed has become a major concern.

My heart really does goes out to all those people affected by this unexpected disaster.

CHOOSING YOUR HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION

We only tend to go on holiday once a year. I wish I could go a few times but I should be lucky to get the one really as some people don't get to go at all do they?

So when the time comes around I get really excited and start scouring the Internet looking for special deals and places. But when you have been to the same sort of place and stayed in the same type of building for years on end its time to start looking for something a little different. Otherwise your holiday just becomes repetitive and the 'same old same' after a while no matter how hot the sun is burning and how beautiful the waters are!

On my search so far I have came across Bali villas for rent and I must say they look like my kind of accommodation. The villa rental Bali homes seem really luxurious too so I will definitely be looking more into that I think.

There is so much choice these days aren't there? With all these new complexes being built worldwide you really are spoilt for choice.

You have got apartments, hotels, lodges, cottages, cruise ships and of course villas to name but a few. And each one can make a real difference to your holiday depending on what you choice cant it? But I suppose at the end of the day especially with myself it comes down to budget doesn't it and how many people are going that needs to be taken into consideration?

With two kids in tow it's doubtful their weekly pocket money would cover the cost of a meal let alone a villa hire! No I'm not that mean to make my kids pay for their own holiday so you can put that frown down now! Just call me the bank of mom!

WORLD'S HIGHEST RESTAURANT

If you're afraid of heights then maybe dining 442 metres high wont sound that appealing to you. But for those that it does it would make a fantastic experience to be able to eat in the tallest building in the world .
The At.mosphere restaurant is situated on level 122 in the Burj Khalifia building, Dubai which makes also makes it the worlds highest restaurant. It takes a minute to reach the destination from the bottom in a glass elevator.
As you can imagine the views are spectacular overlooking the landscape. And the food and prices are no doubt the same too! In fact there is a £51 minimum spend just for lunch per person with the most expensive evening meal being Maine lobster at £100.
There is the main restaurant, a lounge and a smaller private dining area in the daytime and by night the lounge is turned into a popular bar with music that stays open till the early hours.

Could you see yourself dining here if you had a spare £50 or so going spare!? And thats if you were dine alone yet alone as a couple or a family.

SELF GUIDED & GUIDED EUROPE WALKING HOLIDAYS

How does walking across coastal cliffs and mountains with scenic views at every angle and peaceful beaches and clear waters in between sound to you?

That is just one of the experiences you could have when taking Walking Holidays in Europe. These are a different kind of holiday for people who really appreciate natures beauty.

For me its the silence of just you and your companion(s) with maybe the sound of a few birds and the breezy air that makes it so appealing and relaxing. Plus it gives me a chance to make good use of my professional camera - especially for the wonderful historic buildings I would come across along the way.

You can get these holidays from Catalan Adventures who offer several different types of walking breaks. You can have guided tour walks or self guided if you prefer to find your own bearings and adventure.

As well as the walking holidays Catalan Adventures also offer cycling, adventure and a new and interesting break I haven't heard of before which is painting holidays.

Have a look at the site to find out more, see what previous customers have had to say and don't forget to take a look at the special offers section too.
