Ashes 2013-14 in Australia – Exciting Cricket & Enriching Holidays

The Ashes is perhaps the fiercest cricketing rivalry that exists today. There have been cricketing battles like India-Pakistan that has grabbed more eyeballs over the years but none has the history and none generates the continuing interest like the Ashes between Australia and England. The first segment of the 2013 Ashes is underway in England and the series is already in the bag for the English cricket team. However, the story isn’t finished yet. England will soon be boarding flights to Australia for the next instalment of the rivalry. The 2013-14 Australian series will start on 21 November 2013 and will go on till 7 January 2014. For the Australian cricket team, it is an opportunity to give it back to their adversary. For the English, it is a chance to further their dominance over their traditional rivals and beat them on their home turf.

Flights to Australia

As far as the fans are concerned nothing more could be at stake. Expect the Barmy Army to book their seats on flights landing in Australia to cheer loud for their teams. The five venues for the bilateral series will be Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. This allows the visitors to not only experience thrilling on-field action but to also explore the different parts of the country. November to January is easily the best time to board Australia bound flights as the warm weather contrasts the biting cold of the Great Britain.

Indeed, as a tourist destination, Oz is one of the favourites in the world. There is so much to do here. Outdoor activities run in large numbers, sightseeing is heart-pleasing, lifestyle and food is amazing. Seriously what is there not to like?

And while in Australia, what about grabbing flights to the exotic Fiji after the cricketing excitement faints away! Great culture, beautiful beaches and wonderful weather are few temptations of the Fijian islands.
