Add a creative element of adventure to your next getaway via this inspired collection of wondrous places and activities you'll never forget. Visit a lodge completely suspended in the trees above a pond filled with hippopotamuses in the Hippo Tree House in South Africa; spend a night in an igloo/art installation in Sweden, which is a hotel made entirely of ice (it melts and is rebuilt every year); traipse around a pristine island in the South of France that's been lovingly returned to its natural state; boat or even swim in the cavernous grottoes of Capri, Italy; enjoy a sweeping panorama of the Himalayas when you hike to Nepal's Peace Pagoda in Pokhara (it's just a three-hour trek up and there are frolicking monkeys). Each of the 111 adventures in this lushly illustrated guide promise something special for all sorts of wanderers! (CH)
