The Approaching Autumn May Appear Simply A Preface To Winter, But It's Never Too Late For A Last Dose Of Summer Sun To Banish Those 'End-Of-Summer' Blues.
The approaching autumn may seem merely a prelude to winter, but it's never too late for a last dose of summer sunlight to banish those 'end-of-summer' blues.

What could possibly be better than an autumn break on the Adriatic?
Zadar, in Croatia, is a traditional walled city besieged by stunning blue seas ; in possession of unending sunlight. This is the place to flee the impending winter.
As sun chasers flood the Croatian coast, Zadar remains relatively unexplored meaning you can wonder at the pretty Roman old city, walk through state parks and along marble boulevards, or cool it in cosy cafes with plenty of elbow room. After swimming, hiking or rock climbing up the Dalmatia coast and the rough Velebit Mountains, dine with local fishermen on the catch of the day. Lush landscapes and evocative history make the gorgeous port town of Zadar come to life. Find flights to Zadar.

Tempting cobbled streets hide a complex mixture of shops selling hand blown glass, pottery and paintings, while modern designers create colorful fashions that twinkle in boutique windows.
Food lovers will be in a paradise full of handmade cakes where the perfume of strong coffee mingles with the sea air. Cave-like diners, candle-lit cafes, sublime bistros and sun-drenched piazzas make you think of a hundred different Western european cities at once . With opera, ballet, jazz clubs and theatre, evening adventure is assured while day time means an opportunity to roam local woodlands or laze on the stunning beach. Tallinn really has it all. Find flights to Tallinn.

Transport is on time to the nearest second, streets are safe and vibrant, and Jewish, Turkish and Greek communities add to the melting pot of foods and culture so loved by Berliners.

With the world's highest number of creative masterpieces per square kilometre, Venice is not just the town for lovers , but for stalwarts of fine art and the leading edge don't miss the outstanding Biennale. Fine cuisines, whose aromas waft down the narrow alleyways to lure holiday makers, are another of Venice's corrupt pleasures.

Excerpt: The 19071908 New Zealand rugby tour of Australia and Great Britain was a tour made by a group of New Zealand rugby footballers who played matches in Australia , Ceylon , England and Wales between 1907 and 1908. Most of the matches were played under the rules of the Northern Union , what is today known as rugby league . The tour had a large role in establishing rugby league in both Australia and New Zealand and also gave birth to international rugby league. As a result the tour is a significant part of rugby league history . The tour party has come to be known as the professional All Blacks or All Golds , although at the time they were usually simply referred to as the All Blacks .Background History of rugby league Rugby union had established itself as the national winter game in New Zealand even before the famous 1905 tour of The Originals . This tour was a huge success both on the field and commercially off the field, with the New Zealand Rugby Union making a huge profit of £12,000. However in New Zealand some discontent about the state of Rugby Unions rules and the lack of ability to compensate players for time lost from work were beginning to rise. These tensions were similar to the ones that had led to the 1885 schism in England that had created the Northern Union . In addition the original All Blacks were only paid 3/- a day expenses while on tour, a token amount when the Rugby Union was making such a huge profit.Tour preparations Tour organiser Albert Henry Baskiville Albert Baskiville |
