Filling the gaps are the sublime forests, mountains, lakes, beaches and fjords that have made NZ one of the best hiking (locals call it 'tramping') destinations on the planet. Tackle one of the epic 'Great Walks' = you might've heard of the Heaphy and Milford tracks - or spend a few hours wandering along a beach, paddling a canoe or mountain biking through some easily accessible wilderness.

Paris the cloud - peircing, wrought - iron Eiffel Tower, broad Arc de triomphe gaurding the gamorous avenue des champs - Elysees, flying buttressed Notre Dame cathedral, lamplit bridges spanning the Seine and art nouveau cafes' wicker chair lined terraces are enduring Parisian emblems. Despite initial appearances, Paris' cityscape isn't static: there are some stunning modern and contemporary icons, too from the inside out.

Germany There's something undeniably artisitc in the way Germany's scenery unfolds; the corrugated, dune fringed coasts of the north; the moody forests, romantic river valleys and vast vineyards of the centre; and the off-the-charts spendour of the Alps, carved into rugged glory by glaciers and the elements. all of these are integral parts of the magical natural matrix thats bound to give your camera batteries a good workout. Get off the highway and into the great outdoors to soak up the epic landscapes that make ach delicious, slow, winding mile so precious.

Iceland An underpopulated ilans marooned near the top of the globe, iceland is, litterally a country in the making. Its vast volcanic laboratory where mighty forces shape the earth: geysers gush, mudpots gloop, ice covered volcanoes rumble and glaciers cut great pathways through the mountains. It's supercharged splendour seems designed to remind visitors of their utter insignificance in the greater scheme of things. And it works a treat: some crisp clean air, an eyeful of the cinematic landscapes, and everyone is fixated.

Florida Maybe there's no mystery to what makes the Florida peninsula so intoxicating. Beaches as fine and sweet as powdered sugar, warm waters, rustling mangroves: all conspire to melt our workaday selves. We come to Florida to let go - of worries and winter, of inhibitations, even of reality. Some desire a beachside gateway of swimming, seafood and sunsets. Others seek the hedonism of South Beach, spring break or key west. Some want birding and wildlife spotting, with gators, manatees and the elusive spoonbill. Others will love themselves within the fantasy realms of Walt Disney World and Orlando's other theme parks.
