                <description><![CDATA[It's a two hour hike to this little bit of Thai splendour a couple of hours from Melbourne. A forested swamp meets the sea in a golden crescent of sand hemmed in by mountains. Granite headlands keep the warm, clear waters nice and calm; continue on to Refuge Cove (2hrs) for a more exclusive swim before a long walk out.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The ancient capital of Siam, it's the same distance north of the airport as Bangkok is south.It is everthing Bangkok is not - rural, relaxing, peaceful, hassle-free and the only choice if you have small kids. You can even breath the air.<br><br>Once there, choose from a range of lovely, cheap family run guesthouses within walking distance of the crumbling golden wats, some over 1000 years old, that dot the canal girt plain.  Built by the Khmers and destroyed by the Burmese only a couple of centuries ago, they make an ethereal sight as the dawn lights the mist through the banyans.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The labyrinthine, subterranean graveyards of the city's early Christians will remain the most memorable experience of a trip here.  No grand views, no Roman poseurs to ogle, just an immersion (literally) in the rituals of early first millenia Italians.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I am Irish but live in Australia. The last two times I have come back I have stayed in the North Star Hotel. I have to say that I have not yet been disappointed. The hotel is beside all the transport links so it is handy for getting around and the hotel bar has a heated beer garden, which is nice for a smoker like myself. The rooms are nice and comfortable and I would recommend it to any travellers.]]></description>
