                <description><![CDATA[Vancouver is consistently voted by tourists as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is also one of the most accessible!<br><br>Buses, SkyTrain and ferries are all great ways to explore. Take a ferry to Victoria and look out for killer whales!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[If you are in a wheelchair visiting Sydney, getting into town is a breeze by using the subway from the airport to the centre of town.<br><br>Once downtown, buy a day or weekly pass. The rails are wheelchair friendly as are the Sydney Ferries. Using the ferries is a great way to explore the harbour and the city by getting off a various points.  Some docks, like Neutral Bay, lead to steep hills up, so you may need to ask for a push, but if you smile, the Aussies will always help!<br><br>My recommendation is a visit to Manly.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[If you are in a wheelchair, book your trip to the reef on a flat decked catamaran! The ride out is quite smooth and easy for the disabled and if you can't snorkel, the staff may be able to help you into a semi-submersible to view all the wonderful life on the reef. They helped me do it!<br><br>Also, the train to the Kuranda rainforest is completely wheelchair friendly, as is the cable car, if you want to try that on the way back!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[For wheelchair users, simply riding on a double decker bus is an excellent and cheap alternative to a special disabled tour. If you learn the routes and get a day pass, you can ride anywhere.<br><br>Additionally, in many taxis, you can just wheel in and go. The underground has many wheelchair-friendly stations and links to airports and the Chunnel, if you want a new and exciting way to explore the continent!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I have written a book (a series of humourous short stories) of my adventures over the years while backpacking, mostly alone, in my blue wheelchair. The book, 'Travels in a Blue Chair', documents my experiences over all six continents and through 28 countries, containing more than 55 stories. It's a twist on the usual backpacker book!]]></description>
