I'm normally averse to seeing non-cultural sights when I go on holiday, but this was so roundly recommended I had to make an exception, and I'm sure glad I did. What they have done is almost genius, it's fantastic.

We went out for a day on the boat whale watching and it was great, so exciting! You can get a lovely tan whilst people point out to you these majestic creatures!

I come to Toronto for a yearly conference and heading to the botanical gardens is always the highlight of my trip. Wonderful gardens and some amazing innovations in buildings too, just the perfect place to get away from all the stuffy chit chat.

The modern art museum is small but in my opinion perfectly formed. There are some works by Picasso and Miro that really stood out as the highlights but the whole thing is lovely. I urge you to take an hour away from the beach and visit it!

It's hard to believe that this wonderful and sturdy structure was built over 1800 years ago and that we can still go inside and enjoy it today. My favourite bit of Rome.
