Leave the station by the exit at the front of the train, go down the steps immediately to the right, and the Liberec buses leave from stand 6. The journey takes just over an hour; the bus station is a five minute walk from the town centre.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18429 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18304
The high-priced resorts dotted along the beaches are best avoided, especially in summer. To see the real Tofino go there in May (shoulder season) and stay in the town. The Tofino Motel offers great views at around $85 (£40) a night per room. If you like seafood Shelter and Schooner restaurants are a must, but for something more funky try Raincoast.

There are three impressive beaches nearby. Tonquin is but a short walk from the town and is good for a post-prandial stroll. Chesterman beach is a short drive away and is full of spirits and driftwood and as the site of First Nations resistance has great historical resonance. Long Beach is, well, just long. The caveats to all this are that because this is the raincoast it rains a lot. However, much natural beauty comes from this rain.

The First Nations people run several businesses in town offering whale watching, bear watching (you park near a beach and watch the bears forage for food) as well as trips to hot springs. The botanical garden are like nothing else, blending sculpture and nature. Getting to Tofino is easy. You can fly from downtown Vancouver from around $250 (£120) return by sea-plane, but the best way to travel is to take the Harbour Lynx from downtown Vancouver and then the Tofino bus across the island. Even though this journey takes around six hours, don't fall asleep. Remember you're going to paradise.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18304 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18173
Additionally, in many taxis, you can just wheel in and go. The underground has many wheelchair-friendly stations and links to airports and the Chunnel, if you want a new and exciting way to explore the continent!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18173 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18170 Other tours including trams are not on/off but 1-2 hours in duration. €17
Most city bus/tram tours including Aerobus (airport to city) for 48 hours costs 30€.
Save a lot of time and money and buy at the aairport (at the post office) as many passes are not on buses and only at metro stations.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18170 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18058 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18058 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17994
Get a card Viva for three euros fifty and have more fun, but don't throw the card away, as you can top it up for more days/journeys the following day.
I don't know if you can have two or more days added when you buy it, as I didn't know you could top it up at the time of original purchase!

Word of warning: when we went in to the shop selling Carris travel cards on Praca da Figueira on Day two of our stay in Lisbon they wanted to sell us each a plastic card (four euros apiece, not returnable, unlike the London Oyster card) and then top those up with a day pass each for three euros fifty.

Being mean (and green) and not planning to be back in Lisbon in the foreseeable future, I decided to walk to the Cais do Sodre metro station where we were sold the paper Viva card for three euros fifty each.
We found out about the top up when we showed the cards the next morning at the metro cashier to explain what we wanted (my Portuguese is limited to ordering drinks!) and the cashier took them and topped them up.

Enjoy this fab city and use your card to max on the ascensores, elevadore and the ferries as well as the trams, buses and metro.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17994 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17378 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17378 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15206
You can get a ticket for 48 hours, see Trocadero - walk through to the Eiffel Tower and catch it again, get off at Louvre, catch it again, get off at Musee d'Orsay etc.

Or, on your first day, just stay on for the whole round trip to see where you will want to visit later.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15206 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14239
Catch the next bus on to Uzès, a magical little town on the edge of the Provençal wilderness. I had a college friend who stayed in a hillside hamlet beyond Uzès and cycled, when he could be bothered, to University in Avignon. One night we found him asleep on a park bench nursing an empty wine bottle. Only in Provence!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14239 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12930 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12930 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11965
Their terminal is pretty safe, although I suggest always travel with somebody and be cautious and attentive as anywhere in the world.

The deluxe service has an attendant and they serve snacks. Once in Baguio, taxis should not cost you more than PhP50 from Point A to Point B.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11965 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11925 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11925 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11658
The airport is now also known as Falcone-Borsellino Airport in honor of Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, two anti-Mafia magistrates killed in separate bomb attacks.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11658 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11561 danielbernate@gmail.com.
