Firewalkers!

It's great entertainment, the fire flares, and the flames lick around their bodies.

Visit Kandy in the highlands of Sri Lanka for the fire dance.

Ancient Town

Dougga in Tunisia is one of the best of the ancient Roman town sites we have seen, a good rival to Ephesus in Turkey.

We visited the site from Le Kef, catching a bus to Teboursouk and then engaging a local to take us the final 10km to the ancient site. You will find plenty willing to take you to Dougga and return later at an appointed time to collect you.

Cradle Mountain

Scenery, scenery, scenery. Tasmania's world heritage listed Cradle Mountain/Lake St Clair national park is a top tourist attraction - and its easy to see why when you look at this series of photos we have put together for your enjoyment.

Crater Lake

So join us as we climb Cradle Mountain.

Feature Story

From our World Traveller series.

Scams and Swindles

I'm not going to confess that I have been the victim of any of these scams and swindles, but sometimes we all let our guard down. Especially when we are travelling independently and we haven't quite got into "travel" mode.

So read on and learn from the confessions of others, and maybe confess yourself.

Mdina, Malta

The entrance to Mdina, Malta is one of the most classic entries to a small town you will ever see. Across the bridge that spans the old moat stands a classic arch with a magnificent mantle - this town's got class!

The Soul of Italy

Take a trip to the "soul" of Italy. Gerace is a small town that looks out over the Ionian Sea. You will enjoy the narrow streets, the unique sun-dial arch, and the treasures in the church museum. Why is the cathedral so unique? - read our Gerace postcard.

Healesville

The place is well named because, as the chatter of the school group fades off into the distance, a wonderful gentle elixiure of sound and sights envelopes you. It's good for the soul.


Can't decide which of these beautiful destinations you'd like to explore? Consider purchasing an RCI timeshare to visit all of them. Vacation properties that are affiliated with expansive exchange companies like RCI allow owners to travel to thousands of destinations all over the world for one annual or biennial rate.

Exchange companies do not sell timeshare - they supplement them. If you are looking for timeshares for sale, the online resale market is your best bet for finding vacation properties at deep discounts. Because there is such a competitive market for timeshare sales online, you can often save thousands on your vacation property purchase.
