Texas Conspiracy Museum

By Ian Kleine

Reading political novels on how the government skillfully sets up fiendish and devious plans to erase and put people and events out of existence really gets the inner detective in you. Perhaps a visit to a museum would quench that thirst?

This Conspiracy Museum follows the theories of famed 'assassinologist' R.B. Cutler. Apparently, the core root is more than just that. A lot of events that were somehow not-connected, are all connected. Bit confusing? Think of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Harvey Oswald, Korean Airlines 007 (which was acronymed 'KA007'), and Robert Kennedy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Taliban, Osama or anybody else from the Malaysian or Philippine region would make an appearance in later conspiracy theories.

A visual aid, well, a drawing of the 'Conspiracy Tree' is the most conspicuous of items inside. Downstairs, another mural with blood streaks and more conspiracies (bullet splatter anyone?) can be found. It lends an aura that is a cross from ominous, to highly comical (well, it is!)

There is also a movie of the time John F. Kennedy was assassinated. With a bit of commentator prodding, and the inner-detective of each of the audience, most would jump at the time when, frame by frame, the mechanics of the assassination was 'revealed'. Classic, if I do say so myself.

The gift shop is filled with books on their subjects, namely Kennedy and how everything is linked in one big, iffy conspiracy. Highly novel, if I would say and would make for a great souvenir of this trip.

Most would think it a waste of time (with focus only on JFK's assassination), but heck, if you're a buff; why not give it a go? Perhaps you might get a few infos you might have missed, perhaps you might get a few laughs.

Best Holiday Places in Turkey

By Thomas Dawkin

There are a number of reasons why Turkey is emerging into the twenty first century as the best place to go on holiday. Turkey has, over recent years, evolved into a reasonably peaceful, stable and commercially viable link between east and west.

Turkey's activities can stand proudly up against some of the world's best holiday destinations, and there are some which you may not have associated with the country until recently. There are many activities in Turkey;

Its variety is one of stanbuls greatest attractions: The ancient mosques, palaces, museums and bazaars reflect its diverse history. The thriving shopping area of Taksim buzzes with life and entertainment. And the serene beauty of the stanbul strait, Princes Islands and parks bring a touch of peace to the otherwise chaotic metropolis.

Bodrum - Homer describes Bodrum as "The land of eternal blue" and the words of another resident of Bodrum. Throughout history of Bodrum, known as Halicarnassos in ancient times, has always been fought over and people have been unwilling to share its beauty with others.

Winter Sports - The high altitude mountains of Turkey have made the country an important centre for winter tourism, and skiing is becoming increasingly popular.

Bodrum, has the all facilities to meet the expectations of tourists from all income levels, ranging from the rich yacht owners to the penny counting tourists who just want a reasonable room to make his vacation last all summer.

Many of Turkeys historical places developed because of their springs, like the ancient city of Hieropolis which was built upon the rich mineral springs of Pamukkale, and the ancient Lydian city of Kaunos, whose people took baths in the rich mineral mud of Lake Koycegiz.

Antalya is a major tourist centre in Turkey. In addition to the wide selection of hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops, the city also plays host to a number of sporting events throughout the year, like international beach volleyball, triathlon, golf tournaments, archery, tennis and canoeing competitions.

You can take a boat trip to the Greek island of Samos. Samos lies at the north-eastern part of the Aegean Sea. Visitors are enchanted to see the charming mountainous landscape of Samos with the essential beauty of the nature and the historical spread all over the island. It is a unique experience.

For relaxation and entertainment, there are a large number of restaurants and waterfront bars open until around midnight; later the party atmosphere moves to nightclubs. It can get lively in high season when the holiday spirit is in full swing.

Hotels in Old Havana

By J. M. Maurette

If you are looking around to make up your mind about which Havana hotels to go for your upcoming Cuba Holidays then you are reading the right article. I will let you know which are the best hotels in Havana categorized by star rating and the average price per person.

There are about 14 different neighbourhoods in Havana among which the most popular in terms of tourist affluence are The Old Town, Vedado and Miramar quarters.These areas have the best tourist infrastructure in Havana.

If money is not an issue with you then go for either of Parque Central Hotel, Saratoga Hotel or Santa Isabel Hotel. The last one is one of the most luxurious palaces built in the 18th century to house the Governor of Cuba. This hotel only have 35 rooms and the views are just fantastic.

There are other hotels in the Old Town that although are lower in star rating they are as charming and comfortable as the ones mention above. These 4 star hotels were built in the 18th Century to house the richest and most prominent families in Havana.

Florida Hotel, Raquel Hotel and O'Farril Hotel are among the most beautiful palaces. They have an average of 30 rooms each so the service is always going to be more personalized compared to those huge Havana hotels.

There are cheaper options in the Old Town such as Comendador Hotel and Hostal Valencia. Both very charming palaces from the 17th Century with only 14 rooms each. They both feature the best restaurant for Spanish Tapas and Valencia Paella respectively.

The cheapest hotels in the Old Town are El Lido and Lincoln Hotel. These are 2 star hotels suitable for students or other travellers on a tight budget. They are very basic but they all have air conditioning, bathroom ensuite and satellite TV.

Prices range from 15.00 CUC (Cuban Convertible Pesos) per person per night for the cheapest hotels to 80.00 CUC per person per night for the most expensive 5 star hotels. The 4 star hotels which I highly recommend can be booked online for around 50.00 CUC per person per night.
