			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thetravelen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Dambulla-Golden-Temple1.jpg"><img src="http://www.thetravelen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Dambulla-Golden-Temple1-300x199.jpg" alt="" title="Dambulla-Golden-Temple" width="300" height="199" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2323" /></a></p>
<p>Dambulla is a large city, situated at the central province in Sri Lanka, at the junction of highways A6 and A9, 150km away from Colombo. The city is known mostly due to the impressive and imposing complex of Cave Temples, which is also referred to as Royal Rock Temple. The complex is a major tourist destination, as many people visit the area and stay at one of the hotels in the city, or choose to come for a day trip from other nearby cities, such as Kandy. </p>
<p>Dambulla was inhabited at the 4th or 5th century BC approximately, and some of the statues and paintings found in the complex date back to the 1st century BC. The caves of the city are known as the refuge of the king Valagamba, when he was exiled by from the Kingdom. The caves were inhabited by monks who offered the refuge to the King protecting him from his numerous enemies. Later, when the king returned to the throne, he showed his gratitude building a rock temple in the area. </p>
<p>Today, the cave complex in Dambulla is one of the best preserved cave temples in the world and part of the UNESCO World heritage sites. There are approximately 80 caves in the area, although five of them are the most important ones, containing the artifacts, paintings and statues dedicated to Buddha. The numbers are impressive, as there are more than 150 statues of Buddha, a few statues of the Kings and the Gods, while the murals cover a total area of 2,100 square meters. One of the most known paintings in the area is the temptation of Buddha, by the demon Mara. </p>
<p>The caves in Dambulla were restored by <a href="http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/">UNESCO</a> in the previous century, and all tourists who travel to the region today are able to admire the impressive complex in its full glory.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.thetravelen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/0140.jpg" alt="Seven Mile Beach" title="Seven Mile Beach" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2011" /></p>
<p>Seven Mile Beach is the most known beach of the Grand Cayman Island, <a href="http://www.thetravelen.com/2009/02/02/cayman-islands/">Cayman Islands</a> located at its west shore. It is a long sickle-shaped sandy beach, known for the amazing natural beauty. It is considered a superb setting and received recently the title of the Best Beach in the Caribbean, from Life Magazine and Caribbean Travel. It is one of the finest white sand beaches in the world, with crystal clear blue waters. The main theme and slogan is ‘Come enjoy Seven Mile Beach Grand Cayman for a day, a week, or a month. You can never get enough’. </p>
<p>Its name is kind of misleading though, as the beach is 5.5 miles long and is progressively shrinking, due to the erosion of ground is certain spots. The beach lies in close proximity to George Town, the capital of the Cayman Island.</p>
<p>The Seven Mile Beach is the most developed and popular area of the Island, recommended in every travel guide about the Cayman. It is home to the vast majority of hotels and resorts in the area. Despite the destructive results of Hurricane Ivan in 2004, most of the hotels and seaside resorts are back to business, running at full capacity. </p>
<p>Seven Mile Beach belongs to the state and no parts of the beach are secluded or prohibited areas; visitors can walk the full length, passing by hotels and villas along. There are numerous restaurants and public bars and beach clubs there, as well as water sports facilities. The Marriott hotel features an artificial reef suitable for snorkeling, although there are some small reefs north of the beach. </p>
<p>Visitors and tourists who travel there are strictly prohibited to play loud music or appear on the beach naked; however, grilling and pets off leash are allowed. Grand Cayman and its most famous beach is a place that no one can ever get bored.  </p>
