There will definitely be options available here 25 | * http://www.freixenet.com/ - This is the largest producer and is nearly always open, so booking shouldn't be necessary. Best to give them a call jus t in case, though. 26 | * http://www.recaredo.com/en/contact/ 27 | * http://www.raventos.com/en/contact - An interesting cava house with a broad range of still wines as well. 28 | * http://agustitorellomata.com/contact/?lang=en - The owner of this winery is the current president of the Cava regulatory body. A historic and beautiful Cava house. 29 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Europe/Budapest.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ## Budapest 2 | 3 | What I like to do in Budapest is to drink as much Palinka as you can (it's like fruit vodka) and eat as many strudels as possible (they have this kind with cheese that it's amazing). This year howerver I've been focusing more on their wines, I have really enjoyed their blends, rose, and cabernet francs. 4 | 5 | Restaurants 6 | For the most part TripAdvisor does a good job of bubbling up the better restaurants. Here are my current favorites. 7 | * Parisi 6 - https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g274887-d6819273-Reviews-Parisi_6-Budapest_Central_Hungary.html best goulash soup so far and great prices 8 | * Marvelosa - http://www.marvelosa.eu/ less great than last year 9 | * Recommended to me - http://www.zsakbamacska.info/start.html will try the next time I visit 10 | * Recommended - http://www.szegedvendeglo.hu/en/bemutatkozas 11 | 12 | Coffee and cakes 13 | * Ruszurm - Best strudel place I visited in the last 3 years - http://www.ruszwurm.hu/ Best is to go right when they open at 10am to beat the crowds and ensure they are not out of anything. Bonus points if it's a weekend day since they make special editions of the sour cherry and apple strudels. 14 | * Second best strudel place - http://www.reteshaz.com/ - it's the first strudel house of the Pest side. A bit pricier than Ruszurm but a bit roomier and you can often see them making strudels 15 | * Central cafe - http://www.centralkavehaz.hu/eng/ - cute but not the one I was looking for. I wanted the New York Cafe 16 | 17 | Wine 18 | * [City and Wine tour](http://cityandwine.hu/en). Lovely tour, Etyek is a super pretty region and the wineries we visited were tiny producers. Glad I did it, [Tripadvisor reviews](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g274887-d3548341-Reviews-City_and_Wine_Tours-Budapest_Central_Hungary.html) agree. 19 | * http://www.budapestbylocals.com/wine-tasting-in-buda-castle.html - to try next year 20 | 21 | Bars 22 | * Boutiq Bar -- great cocktails: http://www.boutiqbar.hu/ 23 | 24 | ### 2016 Sights 25 | * St Stephen Basilica (returned) - If you can stay for one of the concerts do. We listened to an amazing violin solo http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Hungary/Budapest_Fovaros/Budapest-436839/Things_To_Do-Budapest-St_Stephens_Basilica_Szent_Istvan_Bazilika-BR-1.html 26 | * Mathias church (first visit) - http://hungarianparliament.com/tours/ I loved this church, I found it prettier than St Stephen's and very unique. http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Hungary/Budapest_Fovaros/Budapest-436839/Things_To_Do-Budapest-Mathias_Church_Matyas_templom-BR-1.html 27 | * Parliament house - http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Hungary/Budapest_Fovaros/Budapest-436839/Things_To_Do-Budapest-Parliament_Orszaghaz-BR-1.html - best thing to do is to [get tour tickets online](http://hungarianparliament.com/tours/). You'll save yourself a lot of hassle 28 | * Gellért Hill - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell%C3%A9rt_Hill - Walked up the hill for a fantastic view of the city and checked out the citadel 29 | * Hungarian Opera house - http://www.opera.hu/ - catched a rehearsal. Beautiful building and the production quality was top notch 30 | * Margaret Island - https://www.budapestbylocals.com/margaret-island.html it's super nice to run around it. 31 | 32 | ### 2013 Sights 33 | * Buda castle (home of the national gallery) super pretty - http://www.mng.hu/ 34 | * Chain Bridge - http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Hungary/Budapest_Fovaros/Budapest-436839/Things_To_Do-Budapest-Chain_Bridge_Szecheny_Lanchid-BR-1.html great run 35 | * Heroes Square - http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Hungary/Budapest_Fovaros/Budapest-436839/Things_To_Do-Budapest-Heroes_Square_Hosok_tere-BR-1.html 36 | * I also went to the [Szechenyi bath house](http://www.szechenyibath.hu/) - an ode to the old Hungarian Empire. Don't get a massage there. 37 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Europe/Malaga.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ### Eats 2 | * [Litoral Pacifico](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187438-d10443884-Reviews-Litoral_Pacifico_Chiringuito-Malaga_Costa_del_Sol_Province_of_Malaga_Andalucia.html) great chiringuito, affordable and extremely tasty food. 3 | 4 | ### See 5 | * Plaza del Obispo 6 | * Puerto de Malaga 7 | 8 | ## Day trips from Malaga 9 | * Definitely visit Granada (stay overnight if you can). We booked morning tickets w [Alsa](https://www.alsa.com/en/web/bus/our-destinations/national/granada-malaga) and it was convenient and fun. 10 | * Visit the [Alhambra](https://www.alhambradegranada.org/en/) get tickets in advance so you can see the palace. 11 | * Do a walking tour of Granada. It's fun and you get to see great parts of the city 12 | * More day trip ideas > https://spainattractions.es/day-trips-malaga/ (I really want to see Ronda!!) 13 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Europe/NothernItaly.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Randommood/travel/b1e9361b62cf0efa6c61ccff65bad23bddc19575/Europe/NothernItaly.md -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Europe/Paris.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ### Food 2 | We really enjoyed this place: http://www.yelp.com/biz/le-comptoir-du-relais-paris 3 | We went back twice, it's affordable and amazing. Do the 15 euro liter of wine, it's fantastic! 4 | 5 | This place was also super great: http://www.yelp.com/biz/caf%C3%A9-constant-paris-2 6 | This was nice too: http://www.yelp.com/biz/pierre-herm%C3%A9-paris-9#query:macaroons 7 | 8 | We LOVED this place: http://www.yelp.com/biz/arnaud-delmontel-paris-2 If you can visit it as many times as possible do. We would wake up, walk to it, buy bread and cheese in the same street and have a blast. Carbs galore. There are tons of cheese/bakeries/coffee houses in the street this bakery is in. Walking distance from the airbnb I recommended. We were regulars at a few places. 9 | 10 | 11 | ### Museums 12 | You want to get a Paris Museum Pass...totally worth buying if you guys plan on going to multiple museums because it usually lets you skip the lines. We grabbed ours at the first location listed here (News Kiosk, 2 rue de la Legion d'Honneur, just outside the d'Orsay): http://en.parismuseumpass.com/rub-the-pass-points-of-sale-3.htm?cat=1&type=33. Musee d'Orsay and Musee de l'Orangerie are absolutely awesome. Tuileries Garden, in which Musee de l'Orangerie is located, is crazy gorgeous. Note that you need cash to buy this. 13 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Latin_America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ### Buenos Aires 2 | 3 | Buenos Aires is really nice. My recommendation is for you to stay in the Palermo Soho area. When you fly into buenos aires you'll have to take a shuttle or cab. Use these guys (Manuel Tienda Leon - http://www.tiendaleon.com/home/) ask them what the flat fee is to get you to the airbnb to avoid getting scammed. 4 | 5 | Visit Puerto Madero, it's very pretty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Madero| http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312741-d311777-Reviews-Puerto_Madero-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html 6 | 7 | Recoleta is another super nice neighborhood you have to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoleta,_Buenos_Aires| http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312741-d311775-Reviews-Recoleta-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html 8 | Eva Peron's body is in their cemetery (I have a few pictures of this on my Facebook album: https://www.facebook.com/InesSombra/media_set?set=a.611425107052.2163565.3111644&type=3 ) 9 | 10 | La Boca is a picturesque staple of the city: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Boca| http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312741-d311772-Reviews-La_Boca-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.htmlIt's where tango started. 11 | 12 | And if you are into touristy things do a Tango show. We really enjoyed this one http://www.esquinacarlosgardel.com.ar/ I'd even go see it again. 13 | 14 | A tip: try to bring cash as the exchange rate greatly favors cash. People can't easily buy dollars so be cautious when handling money (but you will get more for your money). Exchange it in restaurants or clothing stores. For example the official dollar when I went was at 6.5 pesos to the dollar but stores or people would give you anywhere from 8 to 10 pesos for one dollar. 15 | 16 | If you want a leather coat you should check out this store while you are there: http://shop.doma-leather.com/ 17 | https://plus.google.com/110016582011190762374/about?gl=us&hl=en Every time I stop there I leave with one of their coats. They are great. Their Puerto Madero location has older seasons so you get more variety. I love them. 18 | 19 | If you are into steak go here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/los-remanseros-buenos-aires I single handedly killed one Bife the chorizo mariposa. It's cash only. 20 | 21 | 22 | ### From my friend Jane 23 | 24 | * We highly recommend the [BA Free Tour](http://www.bafreetour.com/english-buenos-aires-free-city-tour). We did the afternoon tour, starting at 5 pm. But the morning tour must be pretty good too because a lot of people from the morning tour came to the afternoon tour. It’s free, but you pay what you want to pay at the end. 25 | * We enjoyed our afternoon at the [MALBA art gallery](http://www.malba.org.ar/). Unfortunately the Antonio Berni exhibition that we saw has just finished. 26 | 27 | In Palermo, we’d recommend the following places for coffee, drinks, meals, etc: 28 | 29 | Coffee: 30 | * [Lab training center and coffee shop](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312741-d7229087-Reviews-Lab_Training_Center_Coffee_Shop-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html). We couldn’t stay away from this place; their coffee was the best. 31 | 32 | Bars: 33 | * [Victoria Brown](http://victoriabrownbar.com/) During the day it’s a comfortable coffee shop (Acco goes there to hang out before work). A night it is a trendy bar with fancy drinks (they don’t serve Fernet & Coke) at US prices in a very cool steam-punk inspired space. 34 | * [Duarte](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312741-d3820307-Reviews-Duarte-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html) A friendly, comfortable bar (the menu looked pretty good too). We liked it a lot. 35 | 36 | Restaurants: 37 | * [Adentro Dinner Club](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312741-d2601533-Reviews-Adentro_Dinner_Club-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html). We had a very fun night here: it’s a “closed-door” restaurant. A couple cook and serve a meal in their home. She’s american so there is no language barrier. The night we went there was a couple from Singapore, a couple from Australia and a couple from North Carolina — all really interesting, even the couple from N.C. The food was good but the atmosphere (like a well planned dinner party) was the star feature. 38 | * [Don Julio](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312741-d1066728-Reviews-Don_Julio-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html). Good steak in Palermo Soho. We went mid-afternoon for late lunch and that worked well for us — walk in without lines or crowds. 39 | * [La Costilla](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312741-d7198871-Reviews-La_Costilla-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html). Another good steak in Palermo Soho. Good value for Palermo — take cash for the 15% discount. 40 | * [Armenia Club](http://www.armeniarestaurant.com.ar/portada.htm). For something other than steak. It is on Armenia between Vega and Cabrera. It’s on the second floor of the Armenian cultural center. The food and service was good, but it did have that special “cultural center” feel to it that makes it a bit different from a normal restaurant. We had some tasty vegetable dishes here :) On Thursday night they have tango lessons on the lower floor. (The restaurant is on the second floor.) 41 | 42 | Sleeps: 43 | * [Rendez Vous Boutique Hotel Buenos Aires](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g312741-d1758713-Reviews-Rendez_Vous_Hotel_Buenos_Aires-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html) 44 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Latin_America/Argentina/Mendoza.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ### Mendoza 2 | 3 | From my friend Jane 4 | 5 | * We ate out only one night, at [El Patio Jesus Maria](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312781-d1503361-Reviews-El_Patio_Jesus_Maria-Mendoza_Province_of_Mendoza_Cuyo.html) (address Aristides Villanueva y Boulogne Sur Mer - 5ta seccion, near the entrance to the Park General San Martín). We ate steak and salad and morcilla, we shared the generous portions.It was one of our best meals during the trip. 6 | 7 | * We drove up to the [Cerro de la Gloria](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312781-d551292-Reviews-The_Hill_of_Glory_Cerro_de_la_Gloria-Mendoza_Province_of_Mendoza_Cuyo.html) in the General San Martín park and got out for a look around. It is an impressive monument and the views from the hill are gorgeous. 8 | 9 | #### Wine 10 | 11 | There are an overwhelming number of wineries to visit. And many of them seem to want you to make an appointment in advance. It can be helpful to have a Spanish speaker to do some phoning around for you. 12 | 13 | Wineries we visited: 14 | 15 | * [Viña Cobos](http://www.vinacobos.com/) because we know Paul Hobbs wines in California. It was very high end and the tasting was expensive but beautiful. 16 | * [Ruca Malen](http://www.bodegarucamalen.com/), I’d recommend this for the solid combination of quality wine and a good tour. 17 | * [Zuccardi](http://www.familiazuccardi.com/home_en.php) had a good tour but the tasting portion was short and poor. (I think it was free, though.) 18 | 19 | We stopped for lunch at the [Septima winery](http://www.bodegaseptima.com/bodega.php?lg=en): Lunch was very fancy; we thought it would cost a fortune, but it didn’t. The building is huge — pharaonic and we got some great photos there. We didn’t do a tasting because we didn’t have time. 20 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Latin_America/Argentina/Tierra_del_Fuego.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ## Ushuaia 2 | 3 | * Go to Lapataia - very pretty national park http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312855-d1995938-Reviews-Bahia_Lapataia-Ushuaia_Province_of_Tierra_del_Fuego_Patagonia.html 4 | 5 | * Take a Catamaran tour of the Bay - I think we did a version of this http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312855-d2357836-Reviews-Patagonia_Adventure_Explorer-Ushuaia_Province_of_Tierra_del_Fuego_Patagonia.html 6 | 7 | * Visit the prison museum - it's our version of Alcatraz - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312855-d2238145-Reviews-Museo_Maritimo_de_Ushuaia-Ushuaia_Province_of_Tierra_del_Fuego_Patagonia.html 8 | 9 | Last time I was there I also took an air tour of the city and really enjoyed it. It left from the air club and was not super expensive. 10 | 11 | * Eat pastries at Tante Sara - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312855-d1744275-Reviews-Tante_Sara_Restaurant_Bar-Ushuaia_Province_of_Tierra_del_Fuego_Patagonia.html 12 | 13 | * If you have a car visit the town of Tolhuin and buy pastries at the Panaderia La Union - it's a staple of the Island. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g1102963-d2384835-Reviews-Panaderia_La_Union-Tolhuin_Province_of_Tierra_del_Fuego_Patagonia.html 14 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | travel 2 | ====== 3 | 4 | travel recommendations and things I like 5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /US/Maui.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | So Maui is a bit spread out and you'll definitely need a car. Once you do you can go anywhere, here are our favorite spots: 2 | 3 | ### Beaches 4 | 5 | * Wailea Beach - https://www.yelp.com/biz/wailea-beach-wailea-makena - lovely and super convenient with the 4 season's beack cafe & restaurant close by 6 | * Ulua Beach - https://www.yelp.com/biz/ulua-beach-park-wailea 7 | * http://www.yelp.com/biz/maluaka-beach-kihei 8 | * http://www.yelp.com/biz/kamaole-beach-iii-kihei 9 | * https://www.yelp.com/biz/keawakapu-beach-kihei-2 10 | * https://www.yelp.com/biz/little-beach-maui-kihei 11 | * https://www.yelp.com/biz/big-beach-in-makena-state-park-wailea-makena 12 | * https://www.yelp.com/biz/baby-beach-lahaina-lahaina - super great for kids 13 | 14 | 15 | ### Things to do / Places 16 | 17 | [Turtle town at Makena Beach](http://www.hawaiisnorkelingguide.com/turtle_town_maui.html) 18 | http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g1489240-d2268621-r118327120-Maluaka_Beach-Makena_Maui_Hawaii.html 19 | We absolutely love this spot. First days we snorkeled on our own, had food at the pool restaurant in the resort and we saw two turtles, tons of fish, and the coral is beautiful. We were staying at Kanapali Beach and Black Rock was a bit rough for me so this spot worked out better. 20 | 21 | [Kai Kanai](http://www.kaikanani.com/) - We stumbled upon this tour on the last day of our visit and it was fantastic. I highly recommend you take it. It leaves around 8:30am from Makena beach and they give you breakfast, lunch, and a happy hour (they have good beer on tap in the sailboat). The crew is 22 | super fun and the locations they picked for snorkeling were among the best ones I've seen. They take you to Molokini crater and a few more 23 | spots. I kept thinking that it was the best money I ever spent. The coral was amazing, saw whales, turtles, and dolphins. 24 | 25 | [Road to Hana w bamboo forest](https://www.paradise-found-in-maui.com/bamboo-forest.html) and [banana bread](https://ocmomblog.com/halfway-hana-home-original-banana-bread/) stand in the middle. Takes about a whole day but the waterfall at the end of the bamboo forest is a beautiful sight. 26 | 27 | [Tortugas galore in Ho'okipa Beach Park](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60636-d108461-r178874290-Ho_okipa_Beach_Park-Paia_Maui_Hawaii.html) 28 | 29 | [Waimoku falls](http://www.unrealhawaii.com/2013/04/pipiwai-trail-to-waimoku-falls/) 30 | 31 | [Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve](https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/ecosystems/nars/maui/ahihi-kinau-2/) awesome lava fields 32 | 33 | [Haleakala National Park](https://www.yelp.com/biz/haleakala-national-park-makawao-2) Very windy, super high, spectacular views 34 | 35 | [Pineapple Farm Tour](https://mauipineappletour.com/) 36 | 37 | 38 | ### Food 39 | 40 | * [Paia's Fish Market](https://www.yelp.com/biz/paia-fish-market-southside-kihei) - really good food that's super fresh 41 | * [Coconuts Fish Cafe](https://www.coconutsfishcafe.com/) - similar to Paia's, a close by alternative if Paia is too busy 42 | * [South shore tiki Lounge](http://southshoretiki.com/) - real good mai tais 43 | * [Monkeypod Mai Tais](https://www.yelp.com/biz/monkeypod-kitchen-by-merriman-kihei) - all about the foam 44 | * [Lelanis on the Beach - Beachside Grill](http://www.leilanis.com/menus/beachside-grill) Sit at the bar for okay Mai-tais in kanapali 45 | * [Mama's fish house](https://www.mamasfishhouse.com/) - for a super fancy but really great seafood 46 | * [Maui Brewing Co](https://mauibrewingco.com/) - lovely outdoor patio and very kid friendly 47 | * [Oao sushi](https://www.yelp.com/biz/oao-kihei-3) - new place right across monkeypod 48 | * [Maui bread](https://www.mauibreadco.com/) - 49 | 50 | 51 | ### Traveling with kids 52 | 53 | There are lots of baby/kid rental places.
