Take the trip on the Manly ferry from Circular Quay. Walk down the Corso (directly ahead when you leave the ferry terminal), turn right along the promenade (ocean beaches) and walk to Shelley Beach. Stop off at Le Kiosk for Moreton Bay 'bugs' or sashimi.

Try to time your return for nightfall for great views of the city lights.

Before returning home from Delhi, shop for souvenirs at the central Cottage Industries Emporium in Janpath (Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan). This is shopping as it should be: relaxed and stress-free. No haggling involved and no hard sell. You present your purchases as you go along, you're given a receipt and then you collect everything together at the end, on production of all your receipts when you pay for everything at once and in return your purchases are carefully wrapped, ready for you to pack in your suitcase. Brilliant!

The government mansion, Casa Rosada, stands at one end of the small park. Outlines of human figures are painted in white, each has a name and the date when that person 'disappeared'. On Thursdays, the mothers of the disappeared come to the square to demonstrate silently.

At 6pm everyday the Grenadiers march out of the Casa Rosada. They goose-step out of the main entrance, across the road into Plaza de Mayo where they take down the Argentinian flag from its pole.

It's the place you associate with Buenos Aires, where the houses are painted in electric pinks, blues, yellows and greens. Buy a small painting from the local artists as a souvenir.

Visit the Estadios de Futbol, Boca Juniors (La Bombonera) 805 Brandsen. It's where Maradona used to play.

I love this part of Venice. It's a little off the beaten track even though the Peggy Guggenheim Museum and the Accademia are only a few blocks away.

Stroll the quiet streets and escape the crowds and for a genuine trip in a gondola for a fraction of the price take a tragetto across to S. Maria Griglio. Be sure to stand up though - sitting is frowned upon.

Pure South serves great food, all organic and sourced from Tasmania (hence the name). Chef Neale White creates original and delicious combinations and together with excellent Tasmanian wines, this is a great evening out.

A delightful old-style hotel in the heart of the city. Try to get a room overlooking the internal courtyard as the street side is noisy. An ancient wooden lift with great ironmongery takes you slowly to your floor.

Take a trip to the Blue Mountains - spectacular scenery but don't miss the view from the Panorama Lounge at the Hydro Majestic Hotel in Medlow Bath.
