Advantages: Central, reasonable good selection of films Disadvantages: small screens can be full.
Just around the corner from the Stefansdom and the Hoher Markt, on the corner of Schultergasse and Jordangasse, the Artis is a small five screen air-conditioned complex, showing films exclusively in English. The titles it gets are always very current although there are also special showings of classics from time to time. The fact that the cinemas are air-conditioned is great in summer when Vienna is renowned for being exceptionally sticky and muggy.
Ticket prices are not too bad, between ATS75-95 for a seat, and the kiosk offers a good selection of drinks and sweets at not too unreasonable prices, with the "Bladder buster" as we've nicknamed it - 1l of coke/sprite costing ATS55. As per a lot of cinemas in Austria there is a "Kino Montag" whereby seats are cheaper on a Monday night (usually all seats ATS70 instead of the above prices ...

Colorific Wood Worx Steam Train Kit
About twice a week me and my husband sit down with the kids and have some family "craft time". So I'm always on the look out for some fun and interesting art's and craft related kits which are cheap to buy and are easy enough for all three children to help to make. Most of the time I buy little foam shapes, feathers, pom-pom's etc from Poundland and we all make cards, hats and posters etc. As I am a bit of an EBay addict I thought it would be a good idea to have a browse through some of their auctions to see if I could find some arty kits. I'm glad I did have a look through the EBay auctions because I came across a great modelling toy which had a buy it now price of £4.99.
I knew that the Colorific Wood Worx Steam Train Kit would be a fun and interesting craft project for the whole ...
Advantages: Great for children, you get a lot for your money, unforgettable Disadvantages: Takes a full day, tiring
When one thinks of a trip to Amsterdam, perhaps one of the last things to spring to mind is a trip to the local zoo. Many people do not even realise that such a city boasts this attraction, yet it is the oldest zoo in the Netherlands and one might argue, one of the nicest zoos in the world.
Artis Zoo was founded in 1838 to promote natural history in a way accessible to the general public rather than just scholars and professors. Found on Plantage Kerklaan, the zoo can be reached either by bus, by canal, by bike (as is the fashion in Amsterdam) or as our hotel was nearby, by foot. There is a carpark but it is not particularly big and anyway, who wants to drive on holiday?
The entrance is flanked by two large golden eagles therefore it is impossible to miss. The majestic feel of the place continues once you enter, surrounded by ...

Manufacturer's product description
Located in the \\\'Val dAr?\\\', just 7 km from Baqueira, in an area of the Catalan Pyrenees where the woods, the snow-capped peaks in winter and the freshness of the green in summer are the true protagonists of the landscape. The Parador, in the style of the local architecture, rises up in the so-called House of D. Gaspar de Portol? the discoverer of California. It has attic bedrooms, wood-lined beams and numerous conference rooms, among which the Sal
