What are some fun places to visit in Hong Kong ? Q&A
I would like to pick up the car directly at Hobart Airport and stay in Richmond the first day, stay in Bischoff at Wineglass Bay the second day, go to Launceston through Flinders Bay the third day, stay at Cradle Mountain at Rose Town the fourth day, and directly go to Hobart from Rose Town the fifth day, fly to Melbourne on the sixth day in Hobart at night! Please help me check if the itinerary is reasonable? Thank you! ? Australia Q&A
Hello everyone! I just visited Cinque Terre on July 29th. It was very difficult to find a parking space (I don't know if it's because it's the weekend). I suggest it's more convenient to take a train from La Spezia to visit Cinque Terre. Trains from La Spezia to Levanto run every half an hour and stop at all five villages. We drove to Riomaggiore first and bought tickets there for 16 euros per person, which allowed unlimited rides all day, including buses and restroom fees. Among the five villages, Manarola has the best scenery. It is said that the night view is also special, but we didn't plan our time well and left Cinque Terre before it got dark. We arrived around 10 am and left around 8 pm, spending about ten hours. We visited all five villages, and the scenery was quite similar. Monterosso, the northernmost village, is mainly a beach resort. Vernazza, Manarola, and Riomaggiore are similar, while Corniglia, after getting off the train, requires a bus ride to reach the top of the town. After 8 pm, the train back to La Spezia runs every hour. I hope my experience can be helpful to friends who are planning to visit Cinque Terre. ? Italy Q&A
The road conditions on Zakynthos are still good, but there are many winding roads. I rented a Peugeot 208, and sometimes it's quite difficult to climb steep slopes. There are many one-way streets in the town. Now, the price for Shipwreck Bay and Blue Caves is 20 euros per person. I first went to the Potamitis place to take a boat. There were hardly any people on Sunday. After waiting for a while, a lady asked us if we were going. I asked about the price, and she said it would be 80 euros for two people because it would be a private charter. If we went with others, it would be 20 euros per person. I thought it was too expensive and there were no other people around, so I went to Agios Nikolaos. There weren't many people there on Sunday either. I asked and was told that if we didn't wait and left immediately, it would be 100 euros for two people. If we waited for others, it would be 20 euros. Luckily, after waiting for about fifteen minutes, a couple arrived, and we went together. It took about an hour and a half. It's best to arrive at the Blue Caves between 12-2 pm. I arrived there at nearly 5 pm, and the sun was shining from behind, so it wasn't very visible. I hope this helps you. ? Greece Q&A
Regarding the recent flooding in the South Island, tourists with travel plans in the near future do not need to panic. The latest information we have is as follows: 1. The water levels in the high-water areas of Lake Wakatipu and Lake Wanaka in Queenstown have reached their peak, and the weather has cleared up. This week is expected to be mostly sunny, with no more rain predicted, so the flood risk has been alleviated. Businesses along the shores of Lake Wanaka have resumed operations. The famous Wanaka Tree will remain partially submerged for a while longer due to the still-high water levels. Queenstown is experiencing clear weather, and recent photos show that while the water levels are high, the risk of flooding has diminished. 2. The South Island highways, which were previously closed, have started to reopen. State Highway 72 has resumed traffic, although there is heavy congestion, so travelers should allow extra time if using this route. 3. There is still flooding at the Rangitata Bridge section of State Highway 1, but once the water recedes, traffic will be able to resume. There is also flooding at the intersection of State Highway 1 and State Highway 79. The Timaru District Council has stated on social media that there is no risk of the recently reopened bridges on State Highway 72 being closed again. 4. The goal is to reopen State Highway 6 on the West Coast before Christmas, but this is entirely dependent on the weather conditions. If the weather remains favorable, the road repair progress will be normal, but if there is another heavy rain, it will affect the repair schedule. Therefore, travelers planning to visit the West Coast of the South Island around Christmas and New Year's need to closely monitor the road repair progress. The New Zealand Transport Agency's update on December 10th at 4pm: SH6 - The past two days have been sunny, and road repair progress has been smooth. The agency has been working to clear the landslide section between Fox and Franz Josef towns, aiming to reopen the Hokitika - Makarora section before Christmas. The Whataroa - Harihari section, which has suffered the most damage, is still closed due to multiple landslides, and the agency is striving to reopen it before Christmas ? New Zealand Q&A
