PHOTOS AND PLACES

Dazzling landscapes: 
Visit Salar de Uyuni in south-western Bolivia to see the world’s largest salt flat,
which lies 3,650 metres above sea level and contains about 10 billion tons of salt.
Take an unforgettable trip across 10,000 sq/km of pure white salt and stay in the Tayka Salt Hotel,
which is made entirely out of salt. Every November, Salar de Uyuni is the breeding ground for flamingos.
To witness these pink creatures against the dazzling white landscape is a sight not to be missed.

 

Unforgettable experiences: 
Visit Thailand during the Songkran Festival in mid-April to celebrate the traditional New Year in an unusually wet way.
As part of the cleaning and purification rituals which are central to the festivities,
younger local people enthusiastically take part in the extremely popular ‘water throwing festival’.
Crowds line the roads ready to spray jets of water over anyone who passes (including motorcyclists, tourists).
Joining in this massive water fight is an experience you will never forget!

 

Family fun:
Wunderland Kalkar is a unique funfair built on the site of a never-used nuclear power plant in Kalkar,
Germany. Construction of the plant began in 1972, but when it was completed over 10 years later,
authorities decided to pull the plug on the $4 billion project.
In 1995, Dutch businessman Hennie van der Most bought what was left of the Kalkar plant for only €2.5 million.
He managed to turn it into a profitable amusement park with over 40 rides,
that are visited by over 600,000 people every year.
Among the most interesting features are the swing ride set up inside the cooling tower,
and the climbing wall on its outer walls. A trip to Wunderland Kalkar is a blast for the whole family.
