A month in Jordan - off the beaten track?.

I'll be in Jordan for a month in November. I really prefer to get off the beaten track and explore non-touristic rural areas.

Does anyone have any advice on rural villages - possibly homestays - that one could spend a few days in? I would be travelling by public transport only.

Help me plan my 9 day trip!

I only have 9 full days in Australia and will definitely hit Cairns for GBR, Sydney and Outback/Ayers Rock. I plan to fly between all. I will be coming into Cairns on 2 Dec early in the morning and leaving Sydney on 11 Dec. So far I know I would like to do a one-day snorkeling/diving trip in Cairns (maybe do a rainforest tour?). Anything else is a must in Cairns? How many days should I spend there? Are two full days enough and fly out the 4 Dec? I've heard you can do Ayers Rock over 2 day/1night period. I know it's pricey but if I'm coming across the world why not. Any suggestions about tour companies or other tips/advice about Ayers Rock. For the second night in the outback any suggestions? How about Sydney, how many days there? Are the Blue Mountains worth a day trip? Manley or Bondi Beach? I'm flying out of Sydney, and I most likely need to fly through there to get over to Uluru, s... more »

Looking for quiet, budget accommodation in phnom Penh

Hello,

I will be staying in Phnom Penh for about 6 weeks, from mid-November. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any accommodation that fits the following:

-quiet; with reasonably thick walls and not on a busy street. (I'm a bad sleeper!)
-not a party place

• preferably somewhere that gets a few long-term guests.

Undara Lava Tubes to Darwin via Normanton or Charters Towers??

Hi all
We are trying to plan the next leg of our trip and need some advice.
We want to see the lava tubes at Undara, having driven there from Port Douglas.
We are then need to head to Darwin via Mount Isa, but the question is do we head via Normanton and down to Cloncurry then Mount Isa, or head down to Charters Towers and then take the Flinders Highway?
Time wise they're roughly the same (it'll will broken up over about 3 days) but the Normanton way is about 150kms less.
If we had a 4wd, we'd just take the Kennedy, but this time of year it's prone to closures.
So really, what we'd like to know is which route from Undara to Mount Isa offers the most to see/convenient places to stop/2wd suitable this time of year.

An info appreciated
Thanks

Petra via tel aviv

I was thinking of visiting Petra and cheapest flights seem to be to Tel Aviv. I'm hoping that as this is a well travelled route that all is ok but any hints and tips would be cool.

Also does anyone have any tips for other historical sights in the area of even quirky ones!

Hi there

Any body know how easy it is just to turn up in the Wadi Rum visitor centre and be able to get a camel trek and bedouin camp combo?

Is it something to book in advance? Bare in mind i really don't want to miss out.

Huangshan from Shanghai - suggest itinerary for two days?

Hi there,

I'm planning on catching the overnight train from Shanghai on a Sunday evening down to Huangshan. I'm then planning on walking on the Monday and Tuesday and returning to Shanghai on the Tuesday evening. A few questions:

1. Any suggested routes for walking over the two days? Is two days sufficient to see the area (I don't want to use the cable car)?
2. I will probably want to stay on the mountain overnight to see the sunrise/sunset. Any recommendations for hostels/hotels (or places to avoid)?
3. What's your suggestion for getting back to Shanghai? I hear that people often take the bus back instead of the train. Can I book the bus when I arrive in Huangshan?

Many thanks,
James
