The other weekend I had the opportunity to go on a workshop organised by one of the world’s best adventure sport photographer Lukasz Warzecha. The photography workshop was in Plas y Brenin Wales a truely unbelievable location surrounded by beautiful mountains and forests. A perfect place to be.
I arrived late Friday evening just in time for some very tasty pizza and to meet Lukasz and the other photographers. Lukasz gave a very interesting and insightful talk about life as a professional photographer. Throughout the talk we were able to ask questions and Lukasz was very open with his answers.

It was then off to bed as we had our first shoot before dawn the next day.

We woke up and were out before the sun had risen. We were going to be working with a fell runner by the name of Emma. We were so lucky with the weather. By the time we had made it to our location the sky was turning a beautiful orange. Lukasz discuss composition and camera settings before allowing us to start shooting.

Senegal will be hoping to restore some pride after two successive defeats, which saw them crash out of the African Cup of Nations, by beating Libya tonight. The Teranga Lions will face a difficult task against a Libya side who can still qualify for the quarter-finals.

Amara Traore’s team looked to have salvaged a point against Equatorial Guinea in their second group game, but a late goal from Nzalang Nacional defender David Alvarez saw Senegal lose again. They were beaten by a poor defensive display against Zambia in the first game and Traore is expected to keep a strong side t

Alexanderplatz, BerlinWe’ve just added Berlin to the destinations on offer here at JayWay Travel and one of the most common combinations of itinerary is Prague and Berlin (and often Budapest too. Check our Prague to Budapest post).

As the crow flies, the two capitals are 280km apart and you can travel the distance a number of ways:

Plane

There are regular direct flights between Prague and Berlin operated twice daily by Czech Airlines (CSA), all other airlines (German Wings and Lufthansa) require a change somewhere else in Germany. As the only airline operating the route directly CSA are somewhat pricey (even out of peak season, expect to pay at least 0). If you’re travelling in a group, this gets expensive fast, with no discounts for multiple passengers! Flights with changes are cheaper but take at least an hour longer. The flight time is one hour, though you’ll need to factor in the time to get to and from the airports at either end, as well as getting to the airport at least an hour before check-in. Total journey time is close to four hours for a direct flight.

Train

For city-centre to city-centre convenience the train is hard to beat, though if you’ve got lots of luggage, you’ll need to factor in the hassle of getting to and from the train station. Trains start at Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof and arrive at Prague’s Hlavni Nadrazi (main station). Journey time isn’t much worse than taking a plane, all told, at 5 minutes short of 5 hours, and you get to stretch out and watch the scenery. You can buy tickets online or we can take care of buying them for you. Buying in advance is usually cheaper than buying on the day.

Automobile (rental)

You could hire a car and drive yourself, though dropping a rental off in another country usually incurs a fairly hefty fee. If you’re round-tripping and returning the car where you picked it up, you avoid this charge but pay attention to mileage allowances as driving across Europe can eat those up, unless it’s unlimited. Fuel is also a lot more expensive than you might be used to if you’re visiting from the US ( a gallon!). Don’t forget to add in the cost of parking too.

Door-to-door Transfer

Alternatively we can arrange a private transfer service, with an appropriately sized car or minivan, between the two cities. You get the convenience of door-to-door service as well as save money when you’re in a group. As well as being hassle free we can also give you the option of a stop en route in Dresden, a beautiful city in South East Germany, for a bonus bit of sightseeing. On a good run the journey time is around 4 hours.

And back again?

Getting to Berlin from Prague is exactly the same in reverse. Whichever direction or mode you want to travel, we can include it as part of a tailored JayWay Travel tour package.

To know about the vacation guide in Norwegian one must know the exact location of Norway. Knowing this can give us a proper idea regarding the climatic and topography of the place. This country is found to be northwestern part of the Scandinavian countries. It is found along the North Sea and Scotland.

Next one must know about the scenery in this extraordinary country. There are inlets available in the mountain region, which enables the water to enter it. This country is not much populated and is found to have total area similar Germany. Hence these land areas, which are scarcely populated, are converted in to national and theme parks. The lands available here are highly stable and pure. The government has tried to do their best in keeping them pure.

To visit this place one needs to know the various famous cities available here. A few of the main cities are named here.

Oslo is the main state, which is mentioned above all. This is the largest city in Norway. It is also regarded as the capital of the country. It also is provided with museums to keep all the belongings of the country in a safe and controlled environment. It also has an evergreen environment, which reminds us the country’s culture.

After Oslo the city named Bergen is popular. It is considered next to the capital of the country. There are various buildings available here. They are made of wood and the natural environment attracts most of the tourists. This city can lead you to the Fjords, which are available here. This country is noted for its rainfall. It has around 250 days of rainfall in a year.

In case you are traveling to Norway, you need to know some information regarding it:

Norway is a Christian country. Hence if you plan to go to Norway for a business it would be better if you can choose a Sunday, since every Sunday is considered as a public holiday. So you may get a chance to refresh yourself before getting involved in the business. You must also know that other services like the Gas stations are open all the days so as to provide the tourists with help and support 24×7. There are chances for certain restaurants to be open always, but it depends on the location of the mall or restaurant. All special days in the Christian society is considered as a public holiday. Hence more than a week is spent on holidays. There are other facilities regarding marriage here, which includes homosexuality accepted by most of the people here and same sex marriage is also made legal. Prostitution is a punishable offence too.

Norway is one of the richest countries in the world. So one who visits this place need to be ready with the cost of living. Even a work, which is characterized with low employment the payment, is huge. That is why here most of the company has less number of labors. On the other hand the viewing of most of the natural beauties are free of charge.
