My problem is getting from Pakistan to Kyrgyzstan. I ve heard that it s much easier to fly to Almaty than to Bishkek, but I ll take either, really. I m wondering if someone can help me figure how to fly from Islamabad (or Lahore if need be) to either Almaty or Bishkek. I ve thought of going overland, but going through Afghanistan isn t feasible and going via the KKH through China seems an administrative nightmare. Since time is a bit short, I thought it easier to fly. adventure holiday wales

Lonely Planet Travel Editor Tom Hall says: % he launch of the The Africa Book coincides with the 30th anniversary of Lonely Planet% fi rst guide to the continent.

Blue sky bio-hazardPosted Wednesday, November 21, 2007, 7:17 PM by Lonely Planet Australia: blue skies, big open brown spaces, lots and lots of minerals and one, particularly nasty one... holiday wales
Chrysotilewas once mined to make asbestos - a popular, cheap housing material used in Australia in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Now, it s widely known that asbestos is highly toxic and leads to nasty lung related diseases, including cancer. cottage holiday in wales
The mine site was in Wittenoom; a town by the same name servicing the workers of what was a booming industry. But since discovering the hazardous effects of asbestos, Wittenoom s been deserted. Situated in the Pilbara region in northern Western Australia the area still appeals to many travellers - and quite rightly. The gorges and waterfalls of nearby Karijini National Park are naturally spectacular. caravan holiday in wales
Iconic 80s Australian rock band, Midnight Oil released the album Blue Sky Mining in 1987, featuring a track, Blue Sky Mine which cut to the core of the mining industry and made Wittenoom infamous. Its lyrics still resonate with miners and their families who ve lobbied their incredibly wealthy ex-employers for justice and compensation to cover medical costs and damages. camping holiday wales
So I m caught at the junction still waiting for medicine The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night... And the company takes what the company wants And nothing s as precious As a hole in the ground... Where as once curiosity may have seen you risk a side trip to Wittenoom it s no longer possible. It doesn t exist. It has been decommissioned, taken off the maps, the electricity - switched off. accommodation holiday wales
So if you re looking for somewhere to stay try the two campsites in Karijini National Park or the Auski Tourist Village on the Great Northern Highway And in an interesting aside, if the Labor party (currently in opposition) wins government at the Australian election this weekend, then ex-Oils frontman, Peter Garrett (member for Kingsford Smith) will be the new Minister for the Environment. It will be interesting to see if he stays true to his activist roots. holiday last minute wales

4 Comments:Stays true to his activist roots! ! I think Garrett has already come to far for that what with supporting the Gunns mill in Tasmania. holiday wales walking
On a family trip round Australia in the 80s, our car broke down in Wittenoom and we were stuck there for nearly a week. I loved the t-shirt I bought: Wittenoom is Gorge-ous . But the thing I remember most is Karinjini Gorge, mindblowingly beautiful even for a 13-year-old. family holiday wales
Oh yeah, also, what anonymous said - PG has well-and-truly ditched activism. holiday riding wales
I also went to Wittenoom with my family in the 80s. We visited the mine and I was terrified that my dad was going to catch cancer because he found the deadly blue stuff so interesting and picked it up. Interesting place, a shame it s been shut down. adventure holiday wales
As for the Karijini - I ve been back since and it lived up to all of my memories. Definitely one of the most beautiful places in Australia. holiday park south wales
I now live in Wittenoom and have read all the Government and scientific reports which show that there is minimal risk to humans in the town now that the mine has ceased operations. This beautiful place needs now to be cleaned up by responsible Governments so that future generations can enjoy this piece of paradise. But Governments are dancing to mining companies tunes who want to mine this region, so Garrett time you vocalised the truth and conservation is what is needed here not blind ignorance and lies. cottage holiday wales

Bubbles at High SpeedPosted Thursday, November 22, 2007, 2:31 PM by Lonely Planet Unless they ve been on the moon for the last year no Londoner could have escaped the hype and publicity surrounding the launch of Eurostar s first carbon neutral service from its new home at St Pancras International on Wednesday 14th November 2007. cottage holiday in wales
Not being able to turn down the chance of being whisked off to Paris for the day, we jumped at Eurostar s invitation to join other Green Pioneers on its first service and test out the super fast way of getting over to magical Paris. Plus, Eurostar offset all their carbon emissions, so apart from the (large) chocolate bar we shared on the train over, the trip was practically guilt-free. caravan holiday in wales
We excitedly checked in at the recently refurbished and renamed St Pancras International station, which has been fully restored to house the 400-metre-long Eurostar trains. With a crowd of media and trainspotters looking on the 11.07am train pulled away from its glorious new home on the first ever 186mph (that s a whopping 300kph) Eurostar to Paris. As we sped to Paris s Gard Du Nord we watched the blurred scenery rush by before descending into the Channel Tunnel for the 20 minutes stretch under the English Channel. The buffet car was a disappointment - we would have to take out a small loan to purchase a few snacks to see us through the journey. As we emerged from the Tunnel there was a good old British round of applause, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, although this could have had something to do with the free champagne. camping holiday wales
The verdict Comfortable, effortless and the most environmentally-friendly way to travel. With the journey time now only two hours and 15 minutes Eurostar makes flying to Paris look positively outdated. We ll definitely be popping over again soon... accommodation holiday wales

I sincerely appreciate your comment about traveling with a smaller impact or footprint. It's been on my mind a great deal lately as I plan future trips, from the impact on climate change of my plane trip, to the influence tourism has on the communities I visit. It's be great for Lonely Planet to do more education to travelers about how we can reduce our impacts, though your own site and through other media outlets. Thanks!
