What is Burn’s night all about?


20120118 robert What is Burn’s night all about?You don’t have to be a poet junkie to have heard of Robert Burns. Born in Scotland on the 25th January 1759 and dying on the 21st July 1796, he has been dubbed Scotland’s favourite son. Each year the Scottish, along with other nationalities worldwide, spend the evening of the 25th January to celebrate his works.

Throughout the evening’s festivities, you can expect to see lots of men in kilts, listen to various Robert Burn’s poems and taste the famous haggis dish. And let’s not forget the whiskey; it wouldn’t be a Scottish celebration without it!

Interesting fact: did you know that Robert Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne?

If you wish to join in with the celebrations in Scotland, you can arrange an Edinburgh car hire online, or perhaps you want to celebrate in another city? Check out our great UK car hire rates and list of car hire destinations.

20111025 Ireland Venture out of Dublin City; you will be amazed at what you will find!

Dublin is Ireland’s number one tourist hotspot, and with good reason too! The history and traditions of this beautiful city have been well restored and the people of Dublin have that famous Irish charm. The city itself is home to many great attractions and fun things to do, however take that journey with a Dublin car hire away from the city and that’s when you get to see Ireland at its best!

Drive around 45minutes north, to the coast, and visit the small fishing town of Skerries. The town has a real community feel with its clean streets and floral displays in summer. You can visit the restored water-mill or spend your time enjoying the long sandy beaches. The harbour area also has some great restaurants and pubs!

Whether it be a weekend break or a few more days along the sunny Southern coast, consider booking a car hire in Malaga to kickstart your travels.

September marks the beginning of a great season along Costa del Sol: the weather is still warm enough for people to enjoy spending the days outdoors but not so warm as to leave you breathless and craving liquids every 5 seconds.

48 hours in Egypt


48 hours egypt sphinx 48 hours in Egypt

Whenever I thought about Egypt, pyramids came to mind instantly. I had never been there so, fully equipped with a 4×4 car hire in Cairo and a GPS, I set out for the adventure. You can imagine how bubbly my Indiana Jonesy spirit was – the one which had been bottled up inside ever since I saw this bloke (who just turned 69, by the way!) doing his archaelogy with such panache, that I even considered doing some myself.

Turns out archaelogy wasn’t as glamorous as a regular child in the 80s thought, but the travelling bug, exploring different culture and tradition while exploring the most thrilling monuments in the whole wide world, never really left me since.
