Simply gorgeous. Johannesburg doesn't have tons of greenspace so it was lovely to escape the city for the day and see some of the wonderful SA plants. It's also great for birdwatching. Don't forget a picnic or you'll be out of place!!

Wonderful building, the venetian turrets really give an air of immense grandeur! Gardens are lovely too and the view just tops off the experience.

Lovely place to go for a wander, especially if you've hit upon a bad day's weather or you fancy a break. The Museum contains an unbelievable array of artefacts. The castle itself is gorgeous and if you can pop back in the night time to see the great views then too.

This is just THE best place to go when you have a little down time on the strip, every time I've been to Vegas the display is totally different and equally spectacular, always changing with the seasons.

I adore Paris and this is my absolute favourite day trip, whether summer or winter. The park is totally stunning, there's so much to see, with no fewer than 10 themed gardens and 35 follies to look for! And the science park is so great to visit, I could just look at the Geode for ages!
