Well the nights are drawing in for the northern latitudes and many of us are beginning to think about an affordable winter break. In recent years Bulgaria has come to the fore as a winter destination and snow junkies will love a High Peaks Snowshoeing holiday in Bulgaria, a winter trekking holiday on snowshoes! This week-long adventure explores the dramatic snow-clad forests, peaks and valleys of the Rila Mountains. There are daily hikes of four to five hours that take walkers to sights such as the 70m Skakavitza waterfall, which is often frozen solid in the winter. Other hikes take in the historic Rila monastery; Mount Maliovitza; and the celebrated Seven Lakes area.

For full trip details from the Adventure Company, see High Peaks Snowshoeing in Bulgaria.

Anyone wanting a winter adventure suitable for the whole family, should head to the Rhodope Mountains on the Bulgarian Winter Experience. This trip combines cross country skiing, snowshoeing, animal tracking and the wonder of star gazing.

Throughout most of Europe tomorrow morning (at 2am), European summer time comes to its official end and the clocks go back one hour. But to ward off the winter blues, there are plenty of festivals.

We begin this weekend with Halloween and then a few days later, the British celebrate with Fireworks night. It doesn't stop there though, in a multicultural world, these events are followed by the Diwali festival, or 'Festival of Light' also called Deepavali, on November 9. Diwali is a major Indian festival that is observed by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs around the world, to symbolise the victory of good over evil with lamps lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind.

Visitors to Leicester, England, have a unique opportunity to experience a 'Taste of Asia' for themselves, with a short break package in this year's official Curry Capital of Britain. The special packages have been put together by Leicester Shire Promotions, the city's tourism board, to showcase Leicester's vibrant Asian culture and exotic gastronomy, combined with its Diwali celebrations, which are said to be the largest outside of India.

Then of course, we move on to the Christmas markets, Christmas and the New Year parties.

The U.S. economy is decidedly shaky and this is reflected in the currency exchange rates. Since the beginning of the year, the Euro has risen steadily against the American Dollar and stands at almost 1.4 U.S. Dollars per Euro, while the British Pound has risen to the psychologically important 2.0 U.S. Dollars for each British Pound.

This is good news for European travellers, who are flocking to the U.S.A. on bargain breaks and sometimes paying for their trip with massive savings on goods that they have purchased during their vacation.



Enjoy even greater savings on a visit to the U.S.A. when you buy a Go Card visitor pass . These popular cards offer great savings; a single pass gets you unlimited general admission to top attractions for one low price and they are available at numerous tourist destinations.
