Rimini is known for having the most popular beach resorts in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. Situated on Italy's east side coast facing the Adriatic Sea, this town is famous among tourists and has garnered the reputation of being the capital of Italy's seaside tourism and nightlife. Tourists normally flock to the area for the 15 km of fine sandy beaches that Rimini boasts about. But that is not all, the seaside area is lined with restaurants, hotels, bars, and clubs so there is always something to do from sun up to sun down. So if you're planning for a holiday destination or a quick escape, head off to Rimini. Tours and accommodations can be easily handled by the Rimini Tourist Information Office that's situated on the seafront. To get you started on the Rimini experience, here are 5 must see spots that will surely make you fall in love with this Italian town that really knows how to live life to the fullest.
1) The Beaches - this is what Rimini is famous for after all so you shouldn't miss it. Head to Marina Centro and Lungomare Augusto where you will find the best beaches and center of the beach nightlife. The beach spans a very long coast and it lined with activity everywhere and for everyone. You can enjoy playing on the clean waters or go windsurfing.
2) Rimini nightlife - touted as the best in all of Italy, Lungomare Augusto and Viale Vespucci teem with bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and arcades that remain open all night.
3) Piazza Cavour - if you want to get up close with the locals and everyday life in Rimini, the Piazza Cavour is the place to head to. This is the main square where basic affairs such as government functions and marketing are done. In the middle of the square stands the statue of Pope Paul IV as well as the Pigna fountain built hundreds of years ago. Surrounding the square are several important and historical landmarks that are worth the visit such as Palazzo dell'Arengo, the town hall, Teatro Amintore Galli, and Castel Sismondo.
4) Roman Rimini - visit traces of the old Rimini and its Roman influences dating back to centuries ago. The main town gate of Roman Rimini, Arco d'Augusto, was built in 27 BC and is a favourite site for tourists. Other Roman remains such as a 62 meter long bridge called Ponte di Tiberio and a Roman ampitheater are amazing sights to behold.
5) Rimini's art and culture - aside from its famous beaches and well renowned nightlife, Rimini's culture is also something that makes this place stand out. During the summer a festival for the arts called Sagra Musicale Malatestiana brings international artists to the area in one grand festivity of music, theatre, dance, and the visual arts. The City Museum and Cineteca are places to visit for an insight into Italian art as well as films related to Rimini and one of its acclaimed sons, movie director Federico Fellini.

Warhammer Online Guide - Warhammer Online Crafting Tips From The Goblin Guide
The Warhammer Online Crafting system is very unique as compared to other MMOs game. The system requires plenty of guesswork and luck for the player, nevertheless in doing so, you have a chance to be rewarded with rare options and outcomes in the game.
When you are crafting, you will be putting ingredients into a "pot" and then combine them in the hope to make a option that you can use in the game.
Warhammer Online went ahead in the game design with a different approach; instead of having set recipes, they went with an ingredient-based system. Therefore you will not know exactly what you are making until you try it out yourself. The purpose is to encourage you, the player, to try out new things and make your own recipes in the hope of coming out with something useful for yourself.
The overall Warhammer Crafting system is all about experimenting trying new things and seeing what you can get out of it. When you experiment and make something useful that you like or you think others may like, you should write down the combination that you used so that you can remember how to make it again in the game if you need to.
In Warhammer Online Crafting, you can be trained for crafting and gathering skills in any Chapter 2 quest town, or in your realms main city.
For your information, there are two crafting skills (craft skills) that are currently available in the game... They are: Apothecary and Talisman Crafting.
Note that you do not need to be at a specific area to craft. As long as you have all the parts needed with you, apothecary can be done anywhere.
There are also four gathering skills in Warhammer Online which are:
1. Butchering
2. Scavenging
3. Cultivating
4. Magical Salvaging
Please be aware that you can only choose one crafting and one gathering skill. This means that in order to make items that are more powerful, it will be necessary for you to work with other players so that all the needed ingredients can be acquired to do so.
We will discuss about one of the Warhammer Online crafting skill in this article today, the Talisman Crafting. The other skills are discussed in depth inside our Warhammer Crafting Guide which forms part of the Goblin Guide suite.
Talisman Crafting is used to make talismans which can be added to your armor and weapons that provide additional stats, such as the gems in World of Warcraft. With Talisman making, you will need a container just like in Apothecary and also 4 ingredients which you will combine in the container for the outcome.
Here are the ingredients:
A Fragment - these are obtained from salvaging a corpse.
A Curio - This can be purchased from the trainers, also gathered from Scavenging.
A Metal Essence - this may be purchased from the Trainer
A Magic Essence - this may be purchased from trainer also from Salvaging harvest skill.
Once you have added all the items into the Talisman Maker, you will see at the bottom in blue the strength of the talisman.
Remember that Talisman requires a lot of experimenting and using different ingredients to obtain different results. So please be patient and more adventurous.
The Warhammer Online Crafting guide in the Goblin Guide package will be updated with the necessary recipes as they become available.

Cape Town Lures Visitors With Spectacular Beauty and a Rich Cultural Diversity
Cape Town has had a long and turbulent history. With Apartheid still linger in the minds and hearts of its people. Transformation has led to the new 'Rainbow Nation', which can be experienced in the cosmopolitan city centre of Cape Town.
Flower sellers, business executives, parking attendants, office workers and shoppers all rub shoulders in a setting of both historical and modern buildings, backed by the city's most famous landmark, Table Mountain. The colourful Malay Quarter, the remains of District Six, St George's Cathedral, Government Avenue and the old Castle are historically significant, while world-class African and international restaurants tempt travellers with their culinary delights.
Although an African city, Cape Town has a European flavour but the city has comforts of First World standard.
Cape Town's unique setting means that it can be enjoyed from various vantage points: Table Mountain provide breathtaking vistas over the city bowl and the Cape peninsula.
You can find many scenic routes along magnificent stretches of coastline and inland terrain leading to special places like Cape Point.
The city has four distinct seasons.
Summer - White sandy beaches, Autumn - Crisp colours, Winter - Ferocity of stormy seas in winter, Spring - Show of Cape 'fynbos' flowers.
From culture, history and scenery - to an unforgettable experience.
Cape Town is a special place with much to contribute towards its growing reputation as a favoured travel destination.
Cape Town Excursions
** Robben Island and Table Mountain
South Africa's most widely known tourist attraction is probably Robben Island, seven miles (11 km) from Cape Town in the centre of Table Bay.
For nearly 400 years this tiny rocky island outcrop was utilised as a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment for numerous categories of people ostracised by society, ranging from political protestors to lepers.
During the years of Apartheid, Robben Island became synonymous with institutional brutality as numerous freedom fighters, including the island's most famous resident Nelson Mandela, were imprisoned here for more than a quarter of a century.
The island is now a museum, symbolising liberation and the triumph of the human spirit. Regular island tours are conducted, lasting three and a half hours. The tours, which are guided by former prisoners, include a visit to the maximum-security prison on the island where an estimated 3,000 freedom fighters were incarcerated between 1962 and 1991.
** Capman's Peak Drive lookout Chapman's Peak
Chapman's Peak Drive is one of the most spectacular coastal roads in South Africa, linking the seaside community of Hout Bay to the Noordhoek Valley along the Atlantic Coast, with breathtaking views from along the narrow, winding road blasted into the cliffs.
Constructed in 1915, the six-mile (9km) route took about seven years to complete and was built as a shorter, alternative route between Cape Town central and the South Peninsula. Many visitors use this scenic route to reach Cape Point Nature Reserve situated at the tip of the Peninsula.
** Penguins on Boulders Beach
A recommended day excursion from the city includes a trip through the southern suburbs and along the scenically beautiful False Bay coastline via Muizenberg to Simonstown, South Africa's principal naval base.
Simonstown lies about 25 miles (40km) from the city and is a quaint town built around a naval dockyard, with well-preserved Victorian buildings, museums, sidewalk cafes and local legends to learn about. One such legend is about a dog called 'Just Nuisance' who 'joined' the British navy, becoming their mascot, when Simonstown was a British base.
A short distance from the town is Boulder's beach, famous for its protected colony of African Penguins (formerly Jackass Penguin) that can be viewed from the boardwalks.
Transport: Metrorail suburban train from Cape Town's central station; Admission: Boulders Beach Penguin Colony: R15 (adults), R5 (scholars)
** Cape Point
Most visitors to Cape Town are keen to make a day trip 40 miles (65km) from the city to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, not only to take in its floral diversity in what at first sight appears to be a bleak landscape, but to stand at the top of the towering promontory at the most southerly point of the Cape Peninsula (not of Africa, visitors must go further afield to Cape Agulhus for this).
From the viewpoint and lighthouse at Cape Point, reached via a funicular, it is awesome to watch the thundering waves crashing at the base of the cliffs 686ft (209m) below. The reserve itself is worth exploring, particularly on foot, for those interested in birds and botany. The restaurant at Cape Point has a terrace offering spectacular views.
Resident baboons here enjoy the spoils from tourists' snacks - particularly their ice-cream; they can be quite aggressive. Because feeding of the baboons carries a stiff penalty, it is worth ensuring there are no free lunches for these hirsute scavengers!
** Cape Town township Township Tours
The N2 highway that connects Cape Town International Airport to the city is lined with townships, consisting of a mixture of shacks and solid buildings. During the days of apartheid, people of colour were not allowed to live in the white suburbs and were banished to areas away from the city. Township tours allow visitors to experience how the majority of Capetonians live in the townships that surround the city.
Guides, often residents, take visitors around to meet the people, see community projects, have a drink in a 'shebeen' (township pub) and shop for local crafts. Each township has its own colourful character, and despite their difficult living conditions, residents are generally hospitable and delighted to receive visitors.
Townships were once no-go areas for many people, but today a visit is becoming a popular experience for tourists to Cape Town.
Visit Langa, the oldest of South Africa's black townships, established in 1923, or the newest and second largest in the country, Khayelitsha, which dates from the 1980s. Guguletu and Nyanga were set up in the 1950s.
Visitors are advised not to visit the townships alone; there are many tour companies that offer tours, including transport to and from the township areas. Contact the Cape Town Tourism Visitor Information Centre or its satellite, the Sivuyile Tourism Centre in Guguletu for information about tours, accommodation and entertainment in the townships.
** Bathing houses at Muizenberg Muizenberg
A historical beach-side suburb on the False Bay coast, Muizenberg is popular with families for its long, gentle-sloping beach, warm water, beautiful views, and activities such as mini-golf and supertubing. The beach is famous for its row of colourful changing houses and is a photo favourite from the mountain road far above. Muizenberg beach has also long been the preference of beginner surfers and several popular surf schools have been established at Surfers Corner, the closest side to the mountain. False Bay is known for its Great White Shark population, but a shark watch service is in operation to give warning to bathers and surfers. A scenic walkway below the railway line links Muizenberg to the next seaside village of St James with its tidal pool. The delightful fishing village of Kalk Bay is a few minutes drive away with its protected harbour, and its main street lined with fascinating antique and art shops, as well as cafes and restaurants.
Flower sellers, business executives, parking attendants, office workers and shoppers all rub shoulders in a setting of both historical and modern buildings, backed by the city's most famous landmark, Table Mountain. The colourful Malay Quarter, the remains of District Six, St George's Cathedral, Government Avenue and the old Castle are historically significant, while world-class African and international restaurants tempt travellers with their culinary delights.
