This is definitely one of the best waterfalls I have seen, it is nothing like any other one.  these are 2 giant  falls falling together and it is amazing, you can just walk to the edge and see it from a real close distance. Noticed that it is very cold there, even at August.

Gullfoss - Iceland

Triberg falls are located inside a park  and it is a really nice park and the walk to the falls  easy enough so anyone can do it, the view of the falls  is really nice and on the way you will probably meet some  squirrel  (i think that’s why they were selling those peanuts bags at the entrance :-)

The Lutheran Cathedral (Tuomiokirkko) in Helsinki, Finland, is a really nice place to visit, the cathedral itself is very nice and the area around it is not so bad as well, the inside is not as impressive as the outside, so spend your time outside the cathedral and at the square around it.

Address: Unioninkatu 29, Helsinki.

If you are in Israel you must try one of Moses Art burgers – it is the best burger in Israel (and for me it is maybe the best burger I had ever eaten). There is one restaurant located in Herzliya and another 3 in Tel Aviv. Just be sure you are ordering the Art Burger and not a regular burger.

This is one of my favorite spots in Vegas, Once you visit Las Vegas, yuo will get to see most of the famouse hotels and all are amazing and beautiful to walk in. but when I visited Las Vegas for the 2nd or 3rd or 4th time, none of the hotels were on my agenda other than the Bellagio, the dancing fountains are always great to watch.

Location: Just in the center of the Las Vegas strip

Outlet malls  are great (Especially in the USA) but after visiting and shopping in a few, I must say this outlet mall is my all time favorite, I can’t really explain why it is so much better than others but it just is, great location (like an hour and a half drive from Newark airport), great stores, great prices – just great.

Be sure to visit the site and get the coupon book online (its free this way, you must pay for it on location)

Location:  498 Red Apple Court, Central Valley, NY 10917

Happy Shopping

This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever visited, and I visited a lot of them. It is a short walk of about an hour, mostly on gravel and the last few meters are a bit rocky but the hidden waterfall you see few meters away from you is just amazing.

The waterfall located near the city of Kobarid, not very far from Bled.

Koziak Waterfall - Slovenia

This is one of my favorite parks in the states, it is not very close to the popular south Utah parks (Zion, Bryce) but it is in my opinion the most amazing one and definitely worth the ride. Since it is a bot off it is not as crowded as other parks might be, and the natural arches there are just amazing. The park itself is not pretty small so in a day or 2 you can cover most of it.

On our last vacation we were staying 3 days in Interlaken, Switzerland. 2 evening out of the 3 we went to have dinner at a really good Italian restaurant – “West End” (address: Rugenparkstrasse 2, Interlaken town center). Everything we tried there was just great and the wine was as well.
Unfortunatly, since we are not the type of people who takes photos of food, no picture for this post – but trust me – the food was great (especially the Fiorentina steak and the pana cota for dessert).

I know this is a really expensive experience, but this is so worth it, it is really something you wont get the chance to experience much and it is really amazing. You go on a 4 hours tour which includes lunch (not that great, actually kind of bad but this wasn’t the purpose anyway), then you break the icy water and get into the frozen sea (with some special clothing so it is not cold obviously)

The ice breaker leaves from the city of Kemi (which is an hour and a half train ride from Rovaniemi, Finland)  and while there make sure you also visit the snow castle – its really awesome.
