Amsterdam Travel

You’re nursing a drink in a canal café when you hear Bach. A man with a wild hairdo is playing organ and trumpet on a nutshell of a boat, while his feet do the steering. Only in Amsterdam…

… and back by popular demand. After a few years’ pout, this beautiful city has found its old self – quirky, creative and open-minded. Yet beneath the self-assured exterior, mental notes are everywhere. Not long ago the Netherlands swung towards the right, with crackdowns on immigration, religious freedom and red-light districts. Even in freewheeling Amsterdam, people were asking themselves: is too much tolerance a bad thing?

You can breathe easy: the soul-searching is over. The core values of Dutch society that we knew and loved have emerged intact. Newcomers who integrate are welcome; practising a faith is OK, as is the right to turn away from it. You like reefer madness? Fine, let’s hit a coffeeshop. A studded jockstrap for skate night? No problem, that’s crazy enough. Tolerance hasn’t gone out of fashion, it’s just had a makeover.

The city’s gorgeous looks haven’t faded either. The moments you spend ogling the old merchants’ villas, the Jordaan’s charming lanes or the lush Vondelpark are as magical now as in centuries past. The cafés are full, the museums are littered with Golden Age art and everyone still parties like there’s no tomorrow. Amsterdam is a delight to visit any time of year, but it’s hard to trump Queen’s Day, the world’s biggest party-cum–garage sale. In summer there’s an endless parade of festivals and events such as the Holland Festival, the Roots Music Festival and the outrageous Gay Pride parade, as well as delightful concerts on canal stages.

This city is too relaxed to stop being fun. To join in, all you need to pack is a few days’ attitude.

Canberra: 48-hour itinerary

Fog over Lake Burley Griffin, with the Carillon looming in the distance
In one weekend you can get a lot out of our nation's capital. Check out this two day itinerary for the highlights.
Get out
Start with something active. One of the greatest things about Canberra is the scenery; cycling or rowing on the lake are both great options. Mr Spokes hires out bicycles and has itineraries for different levels of riders. REAL Fun hires out bicycles, canoes and camping equipment if you need it. And ACT Boat Hire has kayaks, canoes and paddleboats.

The solitude and aesthetics of Canberra in the early morning are awesome, so rise and shine.

To venture further a-field go to Mt Stromlo, which has a world championship mountain bike park. Otherwise, head up to Majura Pines.

If bush walking is your cup of tea, then Canberra's got you covered; drive 10 minutes in any direction and you'll realise the success of Walter Burley Griffin's garden city ideals. There are marked trails snaking the parks throughout the city and surrounds. Pick up a map at the Canberra Visitors Centre.

If you need to be sure that coffee is proximate to your walk, head up to the Botanical gardens. The refreshing cool of the rainforest landscape is surprisingly close to the city centre.
Relax
After your exertions head over to Lyneham and sink into the eclectic chairs and couches at the Front Gallery and Café. It has a small gallery showcasing young, local artists, free wireless Internet and a mate's lounge-room kind of feel. Pass the time into the evening and watch the place fill up with people for a Saturday night gig or Friday night poetry slam.
High-brow brekkie

The next morning have breakfast in Kingston or Manuka, and then head over to Parkes. This is the area where you'll find the national institutions. Check out what exhibitions and events are on and choose the ones that suit your interests. If the High Court or Parliament is in session, drop in and see how it all works.

There are a host of excellent options, including Old and New Parliament House, the newly relocated National Portrait Gallery, the National Library, the National Archives and, of course, the National Gallery. If it is a hot day make sure you get to the Sculpture Garden before 2pm to walk through the fine mist of Fujiko Nakaya's Fog Sculpture (1977) and on to the cool, contemplative space of Fiona Hall's Fern Garden (1998).
Yum

After a day of nationalism and culture return to the city for dinner and drinks. Find restaurants around Garema Place or lining Bunda Street around the base of the newly redeveloped Canberra Centre.

Then it is beer o'clock at Wig and Pen; they have a ludicrously long list of amber liquid brewed in-house. King O'Malley's is up next for big pub atmosphere, unless you'd prefer the unassuming and eccentric The Phoenix where you'll find a mostly-local crowd.

If you're in the mood for classy cocktails, head to Hippo Lounge Bar, Muddle or Knightsbridge Penthouse.
Move

If you're around on a Sunday afternoon and you feel like getting sweaty with the locals, head down to Corroboree Park in Ainslie at 1pm for Sunday Dance Jams. Five bucks gets you an hour and a half of crazy fun dancing and a chance to bust out all your moves too daggy for Saturday nights.

Snow Mobiling in Ontario North

elcome to the Ontario Snowmobiling. Wintertime is a great time to explore Ontario because when the snow flies and the lakes freeze over you can venture to parts of the province that are normally only accessible by air and water. One of the best ways to get there is via snowmobile. Don your suit, helmet, goggles, gloves and trail pass and point your sled down one of the many groomed trails snaking their way across the landscape. Some trails are so wide that they're referred to as "snow highways". In fact Ontario has over 50,000 km (30,000 mi.) of interconnected, groomed snowmobile trails forming the largest recreational trail system in the world. Make a day of it gliding through majestic forests, across stake-marked frozen lakes and old logging roads to some of the most serene and scenic spots you'll ever see. View Aboriginal pictographs. Spot a deer or wolf in a clearing. Team up with some fellow riders and embark on a two-day snowmobile odyssey from Cochrane to Moosonee. Or enjoy the twinkling of city lights as you explore the Sudbury Trail Plan by night

Did you know that Ontario boasts 49,000 km (31,000 mi.) of interconnected groomed snowmobile trails forming the world's longest network of recreational trails? Looking for information form a selection of great winter destinations -

Wonderful world of Brazil

Embrace Brazil’s glorious sunny climate on the famous Atlantic beaches around Rio de Janeiro. A coastline of sandy coves and mountains draped in sub-tropical vegetation is home to two lovely little towns: the colonial port of Paratí and the laid-back, chic resort of Búzios.

Suggested holiday itinerary (flexible)

Day 1: On arrival in Rio de Janeiro, you’ll be driven across town to legendary Copacabana. Your bright and modern hotel, the Martinique or Orla is just a short stroll from the beach.

Day 2: Take an exciting jeep tour through the dense rainforest , heavy with fruit and flowers, of Tijuca National Park; and pause by its refreshing waterfalls. The trip is capped with a visit to the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer that sits atop Corcovado mountain.

Day 3: Drive westwards along the scenic Emerald Coast to Paratí, a beautifully preserved cobblestone port crammed with graceful white-washed Portuguese colonial buildings. The bay is studded with verdant islands and fringed with cliffs and secret harbours. Spend 2 nights at the delightful 17th century Pousada do Sandí. Ramble round the town, popping in to any of the boutiques, art galleries and homely restaurants. .

Day 4: Cruise the bay on a romantic traditional schooner, dropping anchor to swim and enjoy a generous picnic buffet.

Day 5-6: Return to Rio for 2 nights. You’ll have time to explore the beaches and bars, and maybe ascend Sugar Loaf Mountain by cable car or take in a football game at the famous Maracanã stadium.

Days 7-9: Drive along the coast eastwards to the pretty peninsula that is home to Búzios, a Mediterranean-style beach resort which combines an upmarket feel with typical Brazilian informality. It’s all very laid back but there are some sophisticated restaurants and chic boutiques. Stay at the traditional and welcoming Pousada Abracadabra, with views over the bay.
