The Kai Iwi Lakes in the Taharoa Domain reserve are an absolute gem. The area itself feels like you're off the beaten track but it's not too far north from Dargaville township. Perfect for a day- or week-long trip. The campsite has great basic facilities but can get busy in summer so book ahead. The freshwater lakes are perfect for any watersports and there are great walking tracks around the area too.

An outstanding memory from our trip to Australia was the view from the deck of our cruise ship, the Coral Princess, as she sailed south down the edge of the outer Great Barrier Reef with a line of white surf stretching in either direction as far as the eye could see, where the deep ocean waters break on the continental shelf.

Every now and again the surface was broken by a flying fish skittering across the waves.

I think that the best way of enjoying the province of Pontevedra is through nature. The sea is one of its best characteristics due to its varied and rich seabed.

Two months ago, I had two friends who came here for diving and they were surprised with the beauty of the waters. They said it was incredible and amazing.

Reuse your water bottles- there's a wee shop just past the sunrise cafe that sells boiled and filtered water that is perfectly drinkable if you've been in the country a few weeks.

They also sell local Tibetan-made handicraft, like books of recycled paper and so on.

near sunrise cafe, down some steps.

Spend three days away from it all canoeing from Lake Argyle to Kununurra – paddling through spectacular scenery surrounded by birds and wildlife and swimming in water so clear you can drink it.

The trips are self guided for groups of two or more – you’re supplied with all the equipment you need (canoes, coolbox, storage barrels, camping kit), dropped off and given a map then you paddle at your own pace. The map shows places to stop off along the way (waterfalls, gorges) as well as the bush campsites where you sleep under the stars. An amazing experience.

Run by the Kununurra Backpackers Adventure Centre.

A felucca is an Arab form of sailing boat. If you can't spare the time to sail down the Nile from somewhere upriver, just take an hour or so to relax while sailing up and down in the downtown area. Cairo from the water is surprisingly quiet.

There are several small jetties along the river bank.

Go on a tour with the Atlantic Kayak Company to see the nation's monuments from the Potomac River or head north on the Potomac and see wildlife not expected in a capital city. The instructors are great and you see DC from a view not frequented by many!
