Albuquerque is a lively, extensive desert metropolis near the center of New Mexico, USA. Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico, which is often overshadowed as a tourist destination. This city has a number of great attractions, which is pleasant scenery, colorful history, and a spectacular hot-air balloon Imagefiesta in the fall. I found this cheap accommodation from an online reservation hotels site, which gives me a list of cheap hotels in albuquerque with all the facilities at discount offer. I reached that city by airplane at Albuquerque International Sunpor. This airport was most attractive and well organized. At outer side of Airport there were most traveling recourses. But I hired taxi and reached to my hotel at noon. The hotel in which I stayed was cheap and very beautiful. Children can enjoy a lot there as there were beautiful arrangements of playing and fun. I put my bags in room and get fresh and take lunch. After that I planned my journey for next day. In first day of my trip in morning get fresh and took light breakfast for my trip. Firstly I went to see the Albuquerque Biological Park. I purchased the tickets for the Biological parks as well as there are good facilities of benches and an amusement park also was there. In noon I went for lunch in the restaurants where I take light food. After lunch I went to see the Rio Grande Zoo has the most popular kind you can expect at any good zoo which includes polar bears, lions, zebras, tigers, giraffes, elephants, gorillas, etc. The animals are in nice exhibits with trees, grasses, water and rockwork which were the best exhibit areas are the seals, the polar bears, a huge Africa area, and the Catwalk. In evening I comImagee back to hotel with planning of next day. Second day I went to see the Anderson-Abruzzi Albuquerque International Balloon Museum which was a very interesting museum dedicated to the science and history of ballooning of this city by exhibitions, Anderson-Abruzzi Albuquerque International Balloon Museum which was very nice with latest collections of memorabilia from famous balloonists which was very nice with many exhibits. In noon I went for lunch in the restaurants. After lunch I went to see the Tingley Beach which was good looking for sunrise and sunset. Which was a good facilities of the Rio Grande has fishing ponds, a model boating pond, a cafe, and a gift shop where you can buy fishing licenses, fishing gear, or rent a pedal boat for a ride on the central pond. Walking along the beaches was a good enjoyment of life. In evening I come back to hotel. In the evening I came back to the hotel and I rested and I went to sleep. Third day I went to see the Sandia Mountains which was a very good outdoors opportunities and range from straight hiking on to serious, multi-day rock climbing. It is also really popular mountain which was the great trails in the foothills as well as at the ski area on the other side of the mountains during the summer. In evening I went to the Billy's long famous bar and get the more fun of the night life at night. I visited to the in market for shopping where I bought some clothes, gifts, shoes and chocolates goods. I came back to hotel and I checked out from the hotel alone and went to airport for leaving this city.
