There are free very good template for Joomla too. If I was starting such site for traveling I would definitely prefer Joomla 1.5.x not only because all these free themes for it but there are also very good free plug-ins for this cms. If you want to make blog for traveling it would be the best decision to make it with Wordpress there are also very good free themes for this platform.
hi after seeing the site it doesn't look they have used Wordpress as platform. b'coz all the links as .html extensions. I don't believe the site is build with wordpress.
Hi Ramkissoon I have built my travel website - visit http://www.holidaywebcaster.co.uk and give me your feedback.
If you want to make it using minimal function with source to provide genuine content & stuff you can use Wordpress but if you want to make your site classy with full of features then you may use Joomla
