Anchorage
Look beyond the three rather hideous fawn-coloured towers that make up the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage and you’ll find a veritable village within Alaska’s largest city. Secreted inside are 547 rooms, including 96 prairie-size suites; a couple of...

Anchorage
Welcome to Alaska! Do not adjust your eyes. Yes, that really is a 1500lb stuffed polar bear behind a glass case in the lobby of the Millennium Hotel, Anchorage. Yes, it is a Kodiak Brown Bear (again courtesy of the taxidermist) measuring 9ft 2 from...

Huahine
It is actually refreshing to arrive on nearby Huahine after spending time on the more sanitised tourist-centric island of Bora Bora. In fact, those involved in the island’s limited tourism like to say that ‘Huahine is like Bora Bora was 20 years ago...

Sirmione
You can’t miss the Hotel Sirmione. As you approach Sirmione’s old town, its dusty yellow façade stands out on one flank of the gates, with the iconic castle occupying the other side. In the right sunlight it looks resplendent, its golden walls...

Gregory National Park
"It’s all right," repeats Snowy, as he forges across the lagoon toward me to effect the umpteenth rescue of the day. In the corner of the small pool I make my sixth frantic attempt to mount the slippery underside of my upturned canoe, and try once...

Corsica
"The train is never late," jokes the beady-eyed black-bearded station master as we wait in the middle of the Corsican mountains for it to arrive, "but the timetable is often a little wrong." With that the little box-set electric train rattles...
