How to reach Bol from Jelsa without Jadrolinija Feery

Hi, can anyone tell me if there are ferries between Jelsa and Bol that aren't provided by Jadrolinija?

I need to get from Jelsa to Bol, but Jadrolinija's ferries depart too early in the morning (06:00 /07:30). I would like to have some kind of transportation around 08:30 / 09:30).

Is this possible? What are my alternatives? Do you know the cost?

Thank you in advance!

we are 26 & 30 years guys and want to visit thailand in January 13 for approx 10 days, I want to know the islands where we can go for some good snorkeling, Jet skiing, kayaking, chill out on nice beaches with beer but not loud music or parties.

We don't like so much crowd but not honeymooners looking for total solitude, pls advise it is Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, Samui or any other ...

Airport procedure arriving in San Jose

A friend ,who has never traveled out of the US, is meeting me in Costa Rica. Her flight arrives 40 minutes before mine.
I want to make it as easy as possible for her and want to tell her what to expect at the airport but I can't remember.

This is what I think the sequence is:
1. Get off the plane and follow the crow to immigration where they will stamp your passport
2. Pick up luggage in baggage claim.
3. Customs and fruit inspection, put luggage on scanner belt and give them the form.
4. Proceed to exit door.

I was thinking of having her meet me in baggage claim. Is there a ladies room there? I was thinking of having her meet me by the ladies room.

Thanks for any tips.

Transport Mozambique

Hi All

I am planning to walk down the coast from Pemba to Inhambane during Dec/Jan. There are a few things i need some advice on, please your contribution will make my planning so much easier.

First i need to get from Maputo to Pemba. I dont have the resources to fly, so was wondering what my next affordable option would be? Also is there anyone who can give me an average cost of a trip in in a bus and a mini taxi, i have research and found out these are the best modes of transport by land.

As far as accommodation goes i was wondering if any one could give me some places i could stay along the coast between Pemba and Inhambane, i have tried to research this online but keep coming up with the more expensive hotels in the bigger cities, seeing as though i am walking i really need more remote places, that are not too far apart. Does anyone know what the law is concerning campin... more »

Montreal Le Plateau/Rue Clark Safety?

Hello,

My wife and I will be traveling to Montreal for the first time with our 2 year old daughter later this year, and were trying to find vacation rentals to stay for the week. We're not familiar with the neighborhoods and relative safety of the areas and was hoping to get some Montreal native's opinion of a particular rental. We're looking to reserve this rental in Le Plateau on Rue Clark around Pine Ave from AirBnb: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/526401

It looks very nice on the inside, but there seems to be quite a bit of graffiti and trash on the streets based on looking at Google Street View. Can anyone vouch for the safety (or lack thereof) of this neighborhood for walking around with a toddler in the evenings/nights? We won't have a car during our visit, so we had planned to walk and take public transportation most places.

Baku to Yerevan transport

Air travel between Baku and Yerevan is circuitous and train travel involves at least one change. Is it possible to hire a car for the trip between these two cities and how much might it cost?

6 nights in Marrakech - daytrip/overnight stay options?

Hello, I've been trawling through the ThornTree forum but can't find recent information so just thought I would ask a question.

I'm a woman, travelling on my own to Marrakech in early September. It's my first trip. I will be there for 6 nights (5 full days and two half days). Found a nice riad that I'm planning to base myself in and I'm happy to spend most of my time in the city but wouldn't mind seeing a few other places if it was worthwhile in the time that I have.

From Marrakech, I was wondering whether I should do a day trip or overnight stay in Essaouira? Is it still a nice place or is it an over-touristed beach town - the kind you find in Thailand, Bali, India, Mexico etc - just thinking of touristy beach towns I've visited over the years! I can handle a long day trip - it doesn't worry me that it's 14 hours long but I just want to know if it's worth it.

Actually, I'm w... more »
