Hiking Cabo de GataWalking in Andalucia, Spain I suggest the hike from Aguamarga to Las Negras. Requiring just 5 hours , this route takes you into a desert country by the sea. The path will take you to three hidden and wonderful beaches: Enmedio, El Plomo and San Pedro

Uffizi GalleryArt Collections in Florence, Italy Much of the Uffizi's collection was once owned by the Medici family, a member of which originally commissioned the building in 1560. The Uffizi houses a stunning collection of Renaissance and medieval painting and sculpture, including priceless works from other periods, and provides a wonderful overview of Italy's artistic heritage - the thousands of works of art encompass Greek and Roman sculptures, Renaissance and Baroque paintings, including iconic works such as Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Titian's Venus of Urbino.
However it is not, relatively speaking, a large museum, so gets incredibly crowded in high season. Queues can line up around the block and back. If you do find yourself here between May and September, it is imperative that you pre-book a ticket, preferably for first thing in the morning, and that you allow yourself plenty of time to get around, as you will be dodging tour groups. Also try to prepare, so you know what you are going to see.

Kalahari DesertDeserts in Kalahari Desert, Botswana Extending from Botswana into areas of South Africa and Namibia, the Kalahari Desert's 900,000 square kilometers are unusually diverse in climatic and physical features. Only the South West can be described as true desert, with grassy ridges and small red sand dunes.
Under the guardianship of several South African national parks the wildlife flourishes here. Black-maned lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes and mongoose are just a few of the indigenous animals who live in the Kalahari Desert, alongside a family of meerkats of BBC fame. There are also 280 different kinds of bird.
Some of the world's most productive diamond mines are in the Kalahari Desert, including the De Beers Company.
The humans who inhabited these open spaces 20,000 years ago were the ancestors of the Bushmen who live there today, known for their unique language of tongue clicks (Khoisan). Their ancient relatives left behind rock art which documents their history in a very personal way, most notably in Tsodilo, Botswana, believed to be a gathering place for the spirits of generations past.

If you like the look of it, send it to a couple of friends. If not, wait and see what tomorrow brings. And if it gets past the fantasy stage, we'll soon have links to research the experience further, but you can also send us an email, and we'll tell you where to look or book next. |
