<p><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Walter-Roth-Museum-of-Anthropology.jpg" rel="lightbox[7553]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7554" title="Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Walter-Roth-Museum-of-Anthropology.jpg" alt="Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology" width="535" height="399" /></a></p>
<p>The museum is run by a non-profit organization, which is a subsidiary of the government of the island. The NPO’s primary goal is collecting, conserving and exhibiting the artifacts belonging to the people of ancient civilizations of Guyana. The members of this NPO conduct several anthropological researches for gathering and disseminating information about the ancient natives of the island. The museum organizes educational programs for offering interesting facts about the ancient civilization of this part of the world.</p>

<p>Other than educating people about ancient Guyana, the<strong> Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology</strong>, like any other museum of the world houses some exiting exhibits. The first collection to reach the shelves of this museum came from the famous archaeologist of Guyana, Denis Williams. Then gradually collections donated by Walter Roth, Everardim Thurn, J.J. Quelch and many others started adorning different corners of the museum. In the year 1991, the museum obtained an exciting ethnographic collection from Waiwai; this collection was presented by George Mentore, a famous anthropologist working on ancient Guyanese Cultural. Other than all these, several excavated artifacts collected from different parts of the island are also displayed at the <strong>Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology</strong>. The management of the museum works keeping certain goals in mind. One of their primary goals is expanding the museum’s collection. ﻿</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trinidad is one of the liveliest places in the Caribbean. It is the place witnessing the origin of steel pan drums and calypso. This article will offer you some tips of spending time in Trinidad:</p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">Like most other West Indian islands, Trinidad is also home to a number of exotic beaches. According to many, the beaches of Trinidad are the most gorgeous ones on the Caribbean. The beaches in this island are a lot less crowded compared to that of the other <a title="The Caribbean Islands simplified" href="http://www.journeyidea.com/the-caribbean-islands-simplified">Caribbean islands</a>. Beaches like Balandra Bay, Manzanilla Bay and Maracas Bay are the most popular beaches of Trinidad. If you are looking to spend some solitary time, you can opt to visit beaches like Blanchisseuse Bay or Paria Bay.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Balandra-Bay.jpg" rel="lightbox[7361]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7362" title="Balandra Bay" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Balandra-Bay.jpg" alt="Balandra Bay" width="166" height="109" /></a> <a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Maracas-Bay.jpg" rel="lightbox[7361]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7363" title="Maracas Bay" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Maracas-Bay-300x223.jpg" alt="Maracas Bay" width="146" height="108" /></a> <a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Blanchisseuse-Bay.jpg" rel="lightbox[7361]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7364" title="Blanchisseuse Bay" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Blanchisseuse-Bay-300x198.jpg" alt="Blanchisseuse Bay" width="164" height="108" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">One of the Trinidadian attractions obtaining maximum footfalls every day is the Asa Wright Nature Centre. This place is home to a wide variety of animals, birds and flowers. The place is located in the lap of the mountains of Trinidad. You can also try taking a dip in the waterfall of this nature preserve, if you have your swimsuit with you. Tourists can also spend 2 or 3 nights at Asa Wright Nature Centre; there are comfortable accommodation options offered to them.</li>
</ul>

<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">A visit to the Caribbean island of Trinidad will stay incomplete, if you don’t visit Mount Saint Benedict Monastery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A keen diver always has a dream to dive in Bahamas after the Blue Hole at Belize. This is mainly because this tropical archipelago is adorned with endless sandy beaches, immaculate warm water, embracing surfs, and stunning coral reefs; all of which seem to welcome the visitors anytime for scuba diving. Although these natural and invigorating features are transparent, there is yet one more such natural element that is not fully known to many. This is none other than the mysterious ‘blue hole’. Well, in the Bahamas, there is no one blue hole, but many. It is precisely due to the blue holes that scuba diving is a completely different experience here. Technically, a blue hole is a round bay packed with saltwater in its depths as well as the contrasting fresh water above.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/diving-at-the-Bahamas.JPG" rel="lightbox[3979]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3980" title="Bahamas blue hole diving" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/diving-at-the-Bahamas.JPG" alt="Bahamas blue hole diving" width="528" height="396" /></a></p>
<p>In the Bahamas, these Blue Holes are known for their striking sheer grottos in blue. In fact, geographically, the presence of the several blue holes makes up for an extensive undersea cave system whose scattered parts are seen throughout the Bahamas and <a title="The Caribbean Islands simplified" href="http://www.journeyidea.com/the-caribbean-islands-simplified/">Caribbean</a>. Although they appear very beautiful while diving, they tend to look scary from the air as they seem like murky holes in the ocean of blue. Moreover, diving in amidst these caves is not very safe as they are treacherous because of the physical structure. This indicates that a diving tour here is only meant for the professional divers. What even more fears the divers is the famous myth according to which the caves are the home of a monster called Luska, a half-shark and half-squid being. However, luckily, no one has spotted this giant monster. So, heave a sigh of relief. Above all, the saddest part is that although you will courageously make an effort to dive deep, you will be unable to spot sea life here. This is because no sea life exists here due to the indecent water circulation and the presence of bacteria in high numbers.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that there is no sea life, the vertical caves never fail to attract the divers from all across the globe. Also called as the submarine caves in the Bahamas, these caves are believed to belong to a vast cave system of the prehistoric times. Well, but today, these unique geological formations are the lone tidally sunken grottos on the planet. So, to conclude, if you dive, you will surely admire the underwater caves that arouse a thrill in you!</p>
<p>Geologically, the base of the Bahamas is nothing but packed with limestone because of which it bears many erosion phases since the prehistoric days. Even today, it is enduring one such phase that is occurring frequently wherein the rainwater’s mild acid leads to the small cracks as well as holes in the limestone. This phase along with the phase of the Pleistocene era marking several ice ages leading to the reasonable changes in the sea levels, which is also an erosion process has resulted in the formation of today’s landscape of the Bahamas including the caves. And this kind of landscape is called the Karst topography.</p>
<p>Among all the blue holes that adorn the oceans and seas of our planet, the most profound one is certainly here carrying a depth of 202 m. This is called the Dean’s Blue Hole. One more famous blue hole is the latest one and is known as the Black Hole of Andros where you can explore a complex of vertical caves. Existing near the South Andros, this one is so named as it has a round entrance with the water appearing black from the orbit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Deans-Blue-Hole.jpg" rel="lightbox[3979]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3981" title="Deans Blue Hole" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Deans-Blue-Hole.jpg" alt="Deans Blue Hole" width="531" height="398" /></a></p>
<p>At the Exuma Island, the Mystery Cave holding an underwater cave system has always remained a mystery to be solved. Well, its name indicates so. In this complex, there are three total entrances of which two are submerged: the Angelfish cave and Mystery cave. Both of them are located near the shoreline. On the other hand, its final entrance is on the land, not on shore. It is called the Bottomley’s Blue Hole that is accessible at the rear of the Mr. Houlanda’s house. Interestingly, these caves are one of the longest on Earth. With the three types of caves found in the Bahamas namely, fractured, tunnel, and cenotes; this cave system is of the tunnel type as its entrances are interlinked via the tunnels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If and when you do discover a discount or two while on a vacation, it is bound to put a smile on your face. But what about tracking down destinations that will not need you to pay a single dime! It may never get more satisfying that that now, would it?</p>
<p>Have a look at some of these options that we have put together for you!</p>
<h3>High Line, New York:</h3>
<p>NYC has managed to turn an elevated train track that had been unused for decades now into a public park. The elevated track is now known as High Line. It was originally built on what was the West Side of <a title="   Day 4 – New York Corning Museum of Glass" href="http://www.journeyidea.com/day-4-new-york-corning-museum-of-glass/">New York</a> in the 1930s and its purpose was to keep the freight trains off the streets of the city. Now it has been converted into a 30 footer structure which is lined with wild geraniums and maple trees. It gives you a wonderful viewpoint to take in some of New York’s most iconic sights.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/new-york-high-line.jpg" rel="lightbox[3786]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3788" title="New york high line" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/new-york-high-line.jpg" alt="New york high line" width="533" height="349" /></a></p>
<h3>US National Parks:</h3>
<p>The U.S. National Park system is known to waiver its fees a couple of times in the year.

<h3>Smithsonian Museums, Washington:</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did I board a wrong flight? How am I in Spain? Quite Freaky and really really strange! If you find yourself saying similar things to yourself; WAIT! You’re absolutely normal. Puerto Rica is enlivened by the relics of the yester-years; although the country is much guarded within the territories of the United States of America, any visitor can be deceived tripping over wondering if they have forayed into the Spanish limits. The hotels and resorts still maintain a Spanish ambience. The fluttering flag by the sea-shore pacifies one that yes, it is very much the American lands.</p>

<p>Be it any city in Puerto Rico, ranging from the Aguadilla to the Rincon, Ponce to the Cabo Rojo or even the Culebra Island and San Juan, the Puerto Ricon air is filled with the beats of reggae. Be it the local eatery by the beach or a bazaar that is pulsating to the worn out vendors, the tunes of beats of reggae will make some or the other way to reach your ear-drums and keep stirring you in the perfection vacation spirit. The restaurants and night-club dance the night lovers to the beats of Salsa and Latin style rhythms. A perfect Caribbean country, very few other places have been successful at preserving the true-blue spirit all so well. Nestled in the vigilantly refurbished docks and imperial buildings, the undying charm of Puerto Rico is hard to be infected by.</p>

<p>One of the exotic cities of Puerto Rico is the San Juan, a trip to which is marked about by most-talked high point brought about by the nostalgic charm of the Old Town, the beaches which are a great escape into the marine life beneath the seas, the fishing activities and also the many monumental buildings which have withstood the test of time and till date fascinate visitors in absolute awe.</p>
<p>The<strong> </strong>San Juan City can said to be divided into two parts. The aforementioned Old Town as is more like a rewinding-in-the-past area, the latter half of greater San Juan city very vividly represents the contemporary culture. Maintaining that perfect Caribbean laid back spirit, the town area glitters in the urban developments sans any intimidation of other leading cites. Despite it all, you can still be soaked in to the vibe of Puerto Rico. Emerging as one of the most leading destinations, San Juan unarguably has it all, be it the electrifying night life or the rich heritage which comes to be celebrated from the many sights and structures that can be spectacled.</p>
<p>San Juan Puerto Rico also makes it clear that the cultural hub is not just confined to the Old City area. The Capitol Building dating back to the period of the twentieth century is a significant landmark building, which shines in its effulgence of marble stone and overlooks some of the greatest views of the <a title="The Caribbean Islands simplified" href="http://www.journeyidea.com/the-caribbean-islands-simplified/">Caribbean Island</a>, one can find from anywhere else on the Island.</p>

<p>Also, the museum of the Museo de Arte Puerto Rica, built in a quaint Neoclassical style exhibits a great range of art further extended by a beautiful garden filled with sweet smells of the wonderful flowers and many birds pecking on the sweet nectar of flowers. Also, within the garden is a pond that is a home to many cute colorful fish.</p>

<p>For those who can’t get enough of plants and flowers must most definitely take out some time to visit the Universidad de Puerto Rica that features a botanical garden as large in expanse ranging up to seventy-five acres. Unarguably, the wonderful plats that grow here enchant many visitors leaving no single empty frame in their cameras or now the memory cards are used up to the optimum clicking pictures of the wide variety of trees and flowers and also posing around them all. There is an orchid garden boasting thirty-thousand plants and also a small little lotus pond.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Universidad-de-Puerto-Rica.JPG" rel="lightbox[3713]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3717" title="Universidad de Puerto Rica" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Universidad-de-Puerto-Rica.JPG" alt="Universidad de Puerto Rica" width="514" height="383" /></a></p>
<p>From everything else, also make way and take out time well in advance to check out the ruins of the Caparra &#8211; which are relics of the inhabitancy that came to be founded in the year of 1508 by Ponce De Leon. Although, the structure remains in much a state of havoc, visitors can choose to visit the Museum of the Conquest and Colonization while around.</p>
<p>San Juan cannot stand complete without sampling the culinary offerings and enjoying at the local salsa clubs. The area of La Fortenza for a more up-scale locality bustling with bars and clubs where one can immerse in some urban fun. The <strong>Condado Plaza Hotel Casino</strong> is another place where as the name of the place suggests, one can be up for a little gamble affair. All in all, the night life and culinary experience go hand-in-hand, and one must definitely look to meet these two agendas. Remember, the clubs and bars are pulsated with a contagious vibe and overlooking your dress code can quite be embarrassing while at the refusal of entry.</p>
