Bourg is a small riverside town set along the Dordogne estuary in southwestern France. Its position above the water gives it a quiet but strategic presence, with stone houses rising along narrow lanes that lead toward the harbor. One of Bourg’s most intriguing features lies beneath its streets. Guided visits reveal hidden staircases, carved stone rooms, and cool corridors that offer a completely different perspective from the sunlit streets above.
Bay of Fires is a coastal region on Tasmania’s north-east coast, extending from Binalong Bay in the south to larapuna/Eddystone Point in the north.

Lake Toba is another of the island's spectacular sights - a remarkable volcanic crater set in the middle of northern Sumatra, 176km from Medan. The lake is huge (the largest in South-East Asia), occupying the caldera of a giant volcano that collapsed on itself after a massive eruption some 100,000 years ago. In comparison, Krakatau's 1883 effort was little more than a belch. The lake is surrounded by steep mountains, ridges and sandy, pine-sheltered beaches.
