About Bordeaux
 Sixty-one miles up the Garonne River, lies the port of Bordeaux, the capital of France´s wine country. The Romans were the first to introduce grapes into the region, and by the 14th century Bordeaux was producing over one million cases a year. Journey through the hilly countryside to the picturesque village of St Emillion and taste the wines that have made this region famous.
Bordeaux Attractions
Surrounding Bordeaux are the world-renowned vineyards and wine châteaux. Visitors from all over the globe come here to learn about the wine-making process - from growing the grapes to the harvesting, fermentation and bottling of top-quality wines. The city’s single most important economic activity is centered around the marketing and exporting of the region’s prestigious wines. Many travelers come here for the single purpose of visiting the cellars of esteemed châteaux and sampling the product. However, one has to keep in mind, that the title "château" can mean anything from a palatial residence to a basic winery. There are thousands of wine châteaux scattered through the countryside, ranging from very modest family establishments to celebrated properties – but all are dedicated to producing the area’s renowned wines.
Bordeaux Activities
- Place de la Bourse - You can’t miss this impressive square just opposite from the pier. The square was laid out in the mid-18th century and is flanked by the old Customs House and the Stock Exchange.
- Rue Ste. Catherine - This half-mile-long pedestrian street leads through the Old Town’s major shopping area and marks the beginning of the elegant 18th-century city.
- Old Town - Discover the charm of the Old Town with its narrow streets and quaint squares lined by typical Bordelais mansions that have been tastefully renovated. Today many are occupied by small shops, restaurants and cafés.
- St. André Cathédrale - You may want to visit this imposing Gothic cathedral. Its historic fame dates to 1137 when Eleanor of Aquitaine was married in this church to the future King Louis VII.
- Grand Théâtre - Facing the Place de la Comédie stands this neo-classical theater. Its elegant exterior is ringed by graceful Corinthian columns and pilasters.The theater was the hub of 18th-century Bordeaux.
- Aquitaine Museum - This imaginatively laid out museum is well worth your visit. An interesting variety of exhibits cover the main facets of the region’s development. Drawings and writings on the period illustrate why 18th-century Bordeaux was often compared to Paris.
- Musée des Beaux Arts - Behind the luxurious Hôtel de Ville (city hall), this fine art museum has an impressive collection of 17th-century paintings by Flemish, Dutch and Italian masters as well as works by Delacroix.

The structure was built over the course of 500 years atop a 260-foot rock.

About Akureyri
 Akureyri were the sandbanks that projected into the harbour; in earlier times there were no fewer than five of those. Four have now disappeared, however, owing to the diligence of the Akureyri people in reclaiming land from the sea. The northernmost one, Oddeyri Point, is still in place, though, and a clear landmark in the town. It was in the inner harbour, in the safe shelter of Oddeyri Point, that the merchants of earlier times preferred have their ships lie at anchor. And the harbour depth allowed the largest vessels to anchor in close proximity to the shoreline so that a fully laden rowing boat would reach land within a few minutes.
Akureyri Activities
- Laxadulshus, the town's oldest residence dates from 1795 and houses a fascinating display on the town's history and a pleasant cafe
- The many churches are a source of interest. Logmannshlio church more than rewards the climb, while Akureyrarkirkja boasts a splendid 3200-pipe organ
- The locals are proud of the botanic gardens and you'll be amazed at the variety of flowers that are nurtured in these northern climes
- Kjarnaskogur, within an hour of the town, is Iceland's most visited forest. Enjoy its extensive leisure facilities, its breathtaking walks and fantastic ski slopes. The town also boasts the world's most northerly golf course and hosts the annual Arctic Open
- It has more than its share of museums, including a Natural History Museum, a folk museum, and museums set in the homes of native poet Matthias Jochumsson and children's book author Jon Sveinson

About Reykjavik
 According to legend, Ingolfur Arnarson threw pillars engraved with images of pagan gods overboard from his Viking ship, vowing to settle wherever the pillars washed ashore. They landed at Smoky Bay where the first settlement of Reykjavik was established around 870 AD. The name Reykjavik, or "Smoky Bay," refers to the numerous geysers emanating from the thermal springs beneath the capital. Today, Reykjavik is a modern city but its past is preserved at many fine museums including the Arbaejarsafn.
Reykjavik Attractions
A trip to Reykjavík would not be complete without a trip to the pools, which are open all year round. The best time of the day to go is definitely in the early morning (between 7 and 8 o'clock), when people gather before going to work to discuss current events. There's no better way to check the pulse of the city and to hear some gossip while you're at it.
Reykjavik Activities
- For an exciting sea adventure, visitors to Reykjavík are encouraged to try one of the many whale watching tours that operate along the harbour
- The Blue Lagoon is probably the most recognizable feature of what Iceland has to offer visitors. This beautiful resort is located midway between the Leif Eriksson International Airport and the city of Reykjavik
- The Culture House contains various exhibitions that cast light on Iceland's history and cultural heritage
- The Viking Village consists of Fjorukrain and Hotel Viking
- The Reykjavik Park and Zoo is home to various animals living in Iceland, both domestic and wild. This is the place for children to get to know the animals and experince them like they don't usually get to in the large cities or zoos
- The Thermal beach is an old dream come true for many of those familiar with the magic of Nauthólsvík

About St. John
 St. John, the oldest incorporated city in Canada, is a fishermans paradise. In September and October the whole countryside is ablaze with some of the most magnificent color in all of North America.
St. John Attractions
Experience the amazing Reversing Falls Rapids, Saint John's best-known attraction. Twice daily the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy rise faster than the river can empty. When this happens, the tide attempts to push the river back upstream, then the tide ebbs and the river appears to reverse itself and flow over the rocks, creating the appearance of reversing rapids.
St. John Activities
- Visit the historic Trinity Anglican Church, which dates from 1877, when the original structure was destroyed in the Great Fire. Shop at your leisure in the antique and specialty shops located along Prince William Street, then through the Old City Market on Germain Street. Downtown, you can explore Kind Square and walk past the Imperial Theater, Old Country Courthouse and the Loyalist Burial Grounds.
- Visit St. Martin's Sea Caves and Beach, where you'll see caves carved out by the pounding tides, as well as the rock-covered beach. St. Martins' twin-covered bridges, harbor area and lighthouse are favorites with photographers and painters.
- Explore Fort Howe, built in 1777 to serve as both protection for the harbor and as the city jail. The building itself is now closed, but the rocky promontory on which it sits offers an excellent panoramic view of the city and harbor.
