It took us three days to drive from Cape Town along South Africa’s "Garden Route" to Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, but it was well worth the drive. Once it was 27 farms, which have all been returned to the wild, and the reserve now…
We were up at silly o'clock for this trip ... but we caught the Bridge of the Americas at sunrise, and that's quite a sight.
It is written, somewhere, that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. That might be true for dates,…
Reluctantly, we left Tortuguero, and, once more, cruised down the river to meet the coach that was to take us up into the hills to La Fortuna. On the way, at one place, we came across a level crossing sign. I thought Costa Rica had no railways?…
We were up at silly o' clock in our hotel in San Jose, for our trip to Tortuguero. We just had time for a coffee and some pastries for breakfast, but were promised a much more substantial second breakfast en route. At Guapiles, we stopped for our…
At just 206 metres (680 feet) above sea level, the Great Orme (below) might be thought of as rather a slight hill. But it looks as imposing as a far greater eminence, as it overlooks the seaside resort of Llandudno, on the north Welsh coast about…

"I'll add a fifth, if I may. Take a boat ride to the island of Nea Kamini, and hike to the crater of the volcano. It's only dormant, and I'm assured that there'll be plenty of warning if it decides to pop its top, (Last time was in 1950) "
"Agree it's a 'must do' when visiting Australia. The best way is, I think, the small-group minibus tour ... especially if you can find one with a driver/guide who is prepared to stop anywhere on request . "
"I have been across the the major destinations by renting a campervan in Australia and yes, had a great experience. The red center is an amazing place to be."
"When I'm in Madrid, I usually stay at the Eurobuilding 2, at Calle Orense 69. (It's really a bit more hotel than I need, but convenient for what I want to do in the city) Check them out at http://www.eurobuilding2madrid.com/ "
"Yes; the Library of Celsus is the one one the left; the one one the right is the Gates of Mazeus and Mithradates. (I should imagine, the local names/equivalents of the gods Zeus and Mithras??) "
"Such beautiful statuary, it reminded me of my own day trip many years since to Corinth, Greece. Another point in Paul's journey across the eastern Med and another highlight in present-day "in the steps of Paul tours" that encompass Ephesus and…"
