Originating as a tiny fishing village in 1038, modern Kehl has become an important link between Germany and France. Rhine River cruises most often use Kehl as their gateway to the much larger and better-known Strasbourg. The savvy traveler, though, might choose to skip the jaunt across the river and enjoy many similar sights, shopping and cuisine as those offered in the teeming French city.
Anguilla is a level coral atoll with abundant breath-taking beaches. The name comes from the Spanish word for eel, named apparently because of the island's long, narrow profile. The most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean, Anguilla is 16 miles (25km) long and three miles (5km) wide. The highest point on the island is only 213 feet (65m) above sea level. The main town, The Valley, is found almost in the middle of the island. Most hotels and restaurants are found on the western point of the island.
