November is not the most pleasant month of the year. Particularly a problem in Poland creates weather. It should be noted that quite often, in November a national holiday falls in the middle of the week and then we take a break and go to a place, where there is a much more favorable climatic conditions. Contrary to appearances in just 2-4 hours flight, we can at this time of year to find places where the temperature during the day is over 20 degrees and the sky is clear and sunny.

This time we decided to Barcelona. Is a 4 hour flight, but thanks to the perfect combination of Swiss Airlines can fly about 14 and already be in place for dinner.

Check-Out - October 2009

Plans start as usual, a few months earlier. We want to plan a trip to be in India during the festival of lights - Diwali. Initially planned to be at the time of Delhi or Chennai, but reviews of other travelers indicate that it is better to spend this time in smaller towns, where the feast is celebrated more traditionally, and does not depend mainly on firing as many fireworks. So we begin our journey on the Andaman - one of the most mysterious and awe-inspiring places I have ever seen.

We arrive in the afternoon, because we stay in Maswik Lodge in the Grand Canyon. A good solution, because we will not have to leave out of the park at night. Many people, such an attraction visited by 4 million people a year may seem to the constantly busy - such as Zakopane. Nothing could be further from the truth. The vast area of the park and good organization means that there is nowhere over-crowded and everyone will find a suitable place. First, you can see nice views of almost 40 miles from the Grand Canyon Park and Canyon Village. Navajo Indians lined the edge of the canyon to its stand and can be purchased on the spot produced dzbanuszki, bracelets, pendants, etc.
