Brooklyn Botanical Gargens

posted by bboyd on 7 December 2010 at 17:01

These are some beautiful gardens right in the middle of Brooklyn, next to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. There is a massive variety of plants and flowers in some wonderfully landscaped maintained gardens. The cherry esplanade is the most beautiful part of the garden, especially in spring.

Roosevelt Island Tram

posted by femrick on 7 December 2010 at 16:57

The Tram to Roosevelt Island takes you parallel to Queensborough Bridge suspended hundreds of feet in the air. You get incredible views and not the same views that every tourist gets from the top of the empire state building, but views over real houses and appartment blocks, a rather intimate view of day to day life in New York. And all for under $3

Dudh Sagar

posted by nswain on 7 December 2010 at 16:45

The waterfalls at Dudh Sagar are amongst the highest in India. They are 300 m high and you get some incredible views from the top. Because of the huge wight of water, the land around the falls is very fertile and green and their are plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting.

Old Goa

posted by nyoung on 7 December 2010 at 16:39

Old Goa is a weird little ghost town of a place. It rightly earned it's world heritage status for the high concentration of Portuguese colonial buildings built here including lots of churches and monasteries. It's only a couple of kilometres from Panaji which means it was an easy daytrip for us whilst we were staying there.

Anjuna

posted by gfranks on 7 December 2010 at 16:34

This was once the home of crusty hippies from all over the world and whilst it has retained much of the trance vibe, it's actually a very nice place to stay now with a beautiful beach and a wonderful weekly market that seems to draw people in from all over the country. If you do stay here, be sure to keep an eye on your belongings. There have been a lot of reports of money going missing from bedroos.
