Cecil County Tourism
As the sun peeks over the horizon each morning, the only sound you may hear is the chugging of a tugboat starting its journey, or the honking of geese as they soar by in formation overhead. From a cliff 100 feet above the waves, visitors can stand next to Turkey Point Lighthouse and see the beauty of five sparkling rivers spill into Chesapeake Bay. A drive through Cecil County can take you past exquisite manor homes, 18th Century churches, and covered bridges. Watch for roadside markers touting the history of our homeland, and marking inns where folks like Lafayette and George Washington hung their hats. Travel the roads once traveled by our forefathers, and learn about Head of Elk, where the largest British landing of the Revolutionary War took place. When you chart your course for our shores, be sure to stay long enough to visit towns brimming with heritage, to take a drive through farm country, to try our restaurants and inns, and to see the sun drop below the horizon, shooting bursts of brilliant color across the river. Take a stroll through the Victorian historic district of South Chesapeake City and enjoy waterfront dining and shopping. Watch huge vessels from ports around the globe as they traverse C&D Canal and slip beneath the majestic bridge. Capture the essence of Main Street USA on a shopping trip to North East for that antique or collectible treasure you’ve been hunting for. Take a drive back in time with the Historic Driving Tour. Climb aboard a friendly horse and take a trail ride through the woods. Shop till you drop at Prime Outlets at Perryville. Catch the exciting action at the drag way. Visit with the animals at the country zoo. Along the Susquehanna River, experience the tiny village of Port Deposit, that in its entirety is listed on the National Historic Register. Stroll the grounds of the herb farm. Pick apples at the orchard. Or, hike out to Turkey Point Lighthouse and marvel at the breathtaking view. Plan to do any or all of these and more!!

Directory Tourism-Adventure Tourism Philpines
HISTORICAL SIGHTS Aurora is a province blessed with an abundance of tourist attractions. It has its share of historical sights such as the home and resthouse of former Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon. The province also has a beautiful Catholic church and several historical markers. Its natural attractions include picturesque waterfalls, lush greenery on mountainsides, and panoramic beaches. Surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, mountain climbing and trekking are only some of the activities a tourist can enjoy in Aurora. Doña Aurora Memorial Shrine to follow Aurora Quezon Marker Location: Poblacion, Baler Getting There: From the bus station at the Baler market, take a tricycle and ask to be taken to the site. Travel Time: 3-5 minutes Not far from the Lt. Gilmore Marker and the Baler Catholic Church is the historic marker built in honor of Doña Aurora Aragon Quezon, the wife of Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon. Aurora Quezon was known for her untiring efforts in social welfare, especially for the benefit of the people of Aurora province. Like her husband, she was born in the town of Baler. She died in an ambush on the mountain roads of Nueva Ecija leading to the province that now bears her name. Baler Catholic Church Location: Poblacion, Baler Getting There: From the bus station at the Baler market, take a tricycle and ask to be taken to the church. Travel Time: 3-5 minutes The structure is an old church with a simple facade. Here, the last Spanish garrison of four officers and 50 men was besieged by Filipino insurgents from June 27, 1898 to July 2, 1899. This was the last pocket of resistance of the Spanish Armed Forces to surrender to American troops. This is also where the La Campana de Baler, an ancient bell, was used and later stored as a relic. Lt. Commander James Gilmore Marker Location: Poblacion, Baler Getting There: From the bus station at the Baler market, take a tricycle and ask to be taken to the site. Travelling Time: 3-5 minutes From the left wall of the Baler Catholic Church stands a simple marker for Lt. Commander James Gilmore, who commanded the U.S. gunboat Yorktown and was captured with all his men when he came to Baler, Aurora in April 1899 to relieve the Spanish soldiers besieged in the church of Baler. Quezon House Location: Barangay Cemento, Baler Getting There:The best means to go there is by private vehicle as there is no regular public transport going to Barangay Cemento from the Baler town proper. It is also possible to take a tricycle from Baler to Barangay Sabang and take a 45-minute walk to Barangay Cemento, but one would have to wade through the river that cuts between the two barangays. Travel Time: Approximately an hour's drive Once the vacation home of President Manuel L. Quezon, the house is a short walk from Cemento Beach. Today, only the foundation and a cement staircase remain; the house was destroyed by a typhoon. Quezon Memorial Park Location: Poblacion, Baler Getting There: From the bus station at the Baler market, one can walk to the site. Travel Time: 3-5 minutes This quiet park of trees and lawns was developed in honor and in memory of the late president Manuel L. Quezon. A marker fenced by concrete and set on a circular cement platform serves as a landmark of Baler, the birthplace of Quezon.

Drakensberg Mountains
So just what do the Drakensberg Mountains offer. That's a question I am asked a lot. You see I am a Drakensberg lover, fanatic or whatever you like to call such people. I have visited nearly every spot in the Drakensberg Mountains and have walked nearly every hiking trail that the Drakensberg has to offer. And I don't just mean that I just been there. I have walked the hikes and stayed at many of the little guest houses and B&Bs that offer accommodation hidden in these so beautiful valleys. I have camped in the Drakensberg and slept in a number of the caves and boy have I seen some of the nooks and crannies that few other people have ever even thought about. And now with so many tourists discovering this beautiful paradise I would like my experience and knowledge of the Drakensberg region to be passed on to everyone interested in the Drakensberg Mountains

DRpure.com: Home: Adventure Tourism in the Dominican Republic
DRpure.com is the first site on the Internet to give comprehensive coverage to a side of the Dominican Republic which, although known by few, could - and should - be enjoyed by many. We believe that the obvious reason for coming to the Dominican Republic is to take advantage of the country's wonderful opportunities for adventure travel; the beaches, the warm weather, and the fun-in-the-sun atmosphere are all added advantages rather than the be-all and end-all of a Dominican holiday. Come here, therefore, to climb mountains, get wet, get dirty, thoroughly wear yourself out - and then collapse on a beach and vegetate!

Rivers in deep gorges and placid mountains lakes, thick forest and acres of spree, mountain sides draped in snow, and green alpine meadows, all form a part of this immense spectrum. And the possibilities for a wide range of adventure activities is enormous. There are day-hikes by the thousand, and trek routes follow trails that last couple of days or can even extend over few weeks. These vary from gentle walks over easy terrain, to grueling expeditions. There is skiing, heliskiing and ice-skating. there is the thrill of paragliding and the test of stamina with mountain-cycling. You can go camping and fishing and play golf or take a safari by car, jeep or on motorcycle. Then there is mountaineering and rock climbing. All you have to do is make up your mind and select your own activity. No special training is required for most things, age is no consideration and all you need is reasonable level of fitness. Equipment, training and instructors are available. And then, all this comes at a fraction of what it would cost elsewhere in the world.
