Creating your own 'Thrilla in Manila' when travelling to the Philippines

February 7, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Back in October 1975, the third and final bout between boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier took place in the Philippine capital of Manila. Ali famously claimed it would be a "killa and a thrilla and a chilla, when I get that gorilla in Manila," ahead of facing Frazier, and he wasn't wrong. That heavyweight fight is still considered to be the greatest clash of boxing champions, of all time. The Araneta Coliseum is still there and there's even a neighboring shopping mall named after Ali,...

Hotel comparison that no hotel can hide from

February 7, 2025 • 12:00 AM

We've always shown a keen interest in Travel technology, so when we came across Triporia, a London startup that focuses on cutting to the details that matter when finding a hotel, we really loved (and chuckled) at their unique Street View feature, particularly when comparing the results to some of Munich's best hotels (or 'best photographed' hotels should we say!). The problem with most hotels' advertising and marketing material, is that you only get to see the photos they want you to see....

Out of the blues and into the blue - timeout in Apulia

February 7, 2025 • 12:00 AM

"Cornetti" filled with vanilla cream and cappuccino with lots of foamed milk for breakfast. The morning sun gently highlighting the colourful wooden boats in the port. Fishermen selling their morning catch, seagulls peacefully gliding through the sky. The setting: a café under arcades next to the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Pilgrim... good morning from Apulia on a clear April morning!  Searching for a way to escape the never ending winter of 2012 /2013, we found this paradise in the boot...

California dreaming

February 7, 2025 • 12:00 AM

As oktoberfest season is upon us, we are left with the daunting prospect of a rather wet and chilly run-up to the even colder winter season - low temperatures and rain, much like our summer but with even less fun and more snow. At times like these, Munich folks look to warmer climes to escape the dreary weather we are experiencing here. For this year, TME wants to recommend a charming escape to the California wine and redwood country, Monte Rio! Situated on the Russian River, Monte Rio Cottages...
