Sydney
There’s a quality of light, space and openness that makes Sydney instantly attractive. The harbour is the perfect setting for a modern city. Where once it was just a safe anchorage, it is now shoreside parks, sailing trips and fantastic views. Also...

Sri Lanka Hills

Kalutara
In the books about Sri Lanka you read that there are enough bricks inside some of the island's dagobas (those rounded temples that stand like vast white water-droplets impacting in the jungle) to construct a wall three feet high from London to...

Chizarira National Park
I don’t know if I’m the only writer who is plagued by weather problems at the moment. I seem to be pursued by unseasonal storms. In the last few months I’ve been washed out innumerable times and in one area of Australia, by all...

James Henderson
Sitting out on a veranda in the Caribbean you can almost hear the overwhelming, relentless fertility. An untended lawn looks out of control in a week, with sprouts a foot tall, and trees can reach 60 feet within a decade. Growth is reckoned to be...

Sydney
“Just, blow into this please, mate.” I found myself being breathalysed for a second time on a short visit to Australia. The first was routine - some over-zealous policemen doing a pre-Christmas blitz on a remote country road - but this one was a bit...

Bonaire
There are moments when Caribbean winds, normally an elixir, get a bit out of hand. As I say, normally they are wonderful. They keep the islands cool. They scurry over the beach, and tickle away the cushion of tropical heat that tries to settle on...

Island Harbour

Scilly Cay
Time was, not so long ago, that lobsters were considered fit only for pigs and prisoners. Not so now, of course. They’re the most expensive dish on the Caribbean menu. You wouldn’t want to leave Anguilla without trying a local lobster, though. Or...

Boulogne-sur-Mer
With its dependable sun, sea, sand, rum punch and easy-going island-life, these days more than ever the Caribbean is the ultimate rest-cure from the downward spiral of winter depression. Comfort comes in many forms, and here's an A-Z of Caribbean...
