rantssmall1 Travel Rants Blog Carnival: My Favourite Blog PostsThe Travel Blog Carnival by Travel Rants received a lot of great submissions this week.

Barbara Ann Weibel at The Hole In The Donut blog has already shared her favourites at Best Rides On This Week’s Travel Carnival. Apart from writing about some of the blog posts, Barbara also submitted her own My Experience In One Of The World’s Most Dangerous Countries… for consideration. I have to say this is one of my preferred submissions. It’s an enjoyable read on Zimbabwe, the political situation in the country, and Barbara’s trip to the Victoria Falls, followed by some amazing pictures. Not to be missed.

My second choice, Worldreviewer experts by Karen Brian at the Europe A La Carte Blog, is a must read for all travellers. Worldreviewer is a new site where you can write destination reviews, upload images, and comment and rate on experiences. Apparently this travel website aims to be “the ultimate travel planning tool.” I had a look at the site and found lots of good tips, particularly in the skiing category.

Price conscious travellers will probably like Price of Transportation (POT) Vacation Budget Rule at foXnoMad. The POT rule helps you save money since you decide your day budget depending on how much your flight cost.

Last, I have to recommend Top 25 Most Beautiful Castles in the World at International Listings… even though each place isn’t a castle per se. Their blog post with stunning pictures takes you from the famous Windsor Castle in England and Château de Versailles at the outskirts of Paris to impressing Middle East creations, Himeji Castle in Japan, a handful of North American castles including Chapultepec in Mexico, and ends with San Felipe Castle in Cartagena, Colombia. They clearly show that luxury castles are not only located in Europe, but in the whole world.

I hope you enjoy my picks. If you wish to contribute to next week’s blog carnival, read the instructions at Promote your Blog and Join our Carnival.
