Dundrum Castle

posted by DVC_Chris on 30 May 2009 at 01:44

Dundrum Castle is located just outside of Newcastle, and is a very fun site to visit, even if it is just off the beaten path. My son really liked visiting Dundrum, as it was in a better state than many others in the area, we especially liked climbing to the top of the tower and enjoying the panoramic view.

Belfast Castle

The castle is high on a hill above the sea, and dates back to the 1200s. It has been rebuilt and restored to the point it is now used for events. It is open for tours and even has a play place for the kiddies!

Old Town Bridge Tower

posted by DVC_Chris on 26 May 2009 at 13:02

One of my favorite sites to visit while in Prague is the Old Town Bridge Tower. This imposing gothic structure, in addition to being a fine example of gothic architecture, also offers amazing views of the city to those who take the time to climb it is very narrow staircases. While potentially taxing, the view, I have found, is always worth it.

Royal Botanical Gardens

posted by triplecrown on 22 May 2009 at 19:09

This is an incredible park-like setting right on the harbor and near the Opera House. It is a place to wander around and try to take it all in. The beauty of the plants and the views of the harbor are fantastic. You go at your own pace, and you will find something special. It is a place to sit back and enjoy the nature inside the city.

Wild Whales Vancouver

posted by irishiiiiiis on 21 May 2009 at 13:04

Wild Whales Vancouver is located across from the Lobster Man on Grainville Island. The price is a bit steep, but for most people this is a once in a lifetime experience. You will have a choice of 2 type of boats. One is glass enclosed and the other is an open boat. They leave at different times so check the schedule. The weather in Vancouver and out on the water can change quite quickly so wear layers of clothes. When we were out it got really cold and many people were buying hats on board the ship (they sell them, but no food). Pack a light lunch because you will only be served a granola bar and some water. Do to the fact that they do not know how long it will take to find the whales and other factors there is no set time table to return. On board the tour guides are all marine biologist I believe. The guide gives you tons of information about the whales you get to see and see them you will.
