Moldova Trips

Moldova is a friendly, sleepy place, steeped in far-flung rural villages and prolific farmlands. Famed for its verdant steppes, forests and lakes, it is home to 178 nature reserves including five of special scientific interest. Hiking, kayaking, sailing, horse-riding, caving and even paragliding are all possible in Moldova.
Bound by the Carpathian Mountains in the west and the Dniester River in the east, land-locked Moldova is bordered by the much larger nations of Romania and Ukraine. Its landscape is punctuated with endless waterfalls, rivers and hot and cold water springs, and many of them have been channelled into luxury spa resorts and therapeutic retreats and are great places to unwind after a long day walking in the hills.
Its lakes are home to egrets, swans, storks and other aquatic birdlife, whilst an extensive network of canyons, grottos and caves include one subterranean passage that extends for 80 kilometres. Unsurprisingly, Moldova is becoming a favourite among adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Solomon Islands To the east of the island of Guinea are the Solomon Islands, a group of more than one thousand islands. About eighty of them hold most of the population of more than a half a million. The island of  Guadalcanal  was the site of some of the fiercest fighting in World War II between Japan and the United States. Honiara, the capital city, is on Guadalcanal. The Solomon Islands were a colony of Great Britain but gained independence in 1978. Colonialism, World War II, and ethnic conflict on the islands created serious centrifugal cultural forces, divisions, and political tensions over the past few decades. In 2003, military and police troops from other islands and Australia intervened to restore order after ethnic tension erupted into civil unrest. Shifting tectonic plates are the source of environmental problems. Active seismic activity has created earthquakes and tsunami conditions that have brought devastation to the region. An earthquake of 8.1 magnitud...

Estonia: attractions, cities, recreation

Holidays in Estonia are walks in the fresh air along the shores of the Baltic Sea, stay in modern spas and, of course, get acquainted with the sights of the cities of the republic. The main city of Estonia, attracting the attention of tourists, is its capital - the city of Tallinn. However, other localities, resorts and small towns, where a special spirit reigns, are of no less interest. There are only four major cities in Estonia: Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu and Narva. Their history goes back several centuries. The most important sights of Estonia are concentrated here - ancient castles, houses and city streets, museums, monuments of architecture and sculptural compositions that have survived from the Middle Ages. You should also pay attention to the suburbs, where you can also find a lot of beautiful places for recreation and cultural experiences.  Estonia can be proud not only of its cities with a long history, but also of beautiful nature. Local forests and lakes deserve specia...

Tristan Da Cunha

History Before Doomsday Tristan da Cunha was annexed to the UK in 1816, mainly to prevent any Bonapartists from using it to mount a rescue mission to free Napoleon from Saint Helena. Gradually a colony took shape there. It was not until World War II that Britain organised Tristan da Cunha's government, designating it a dependency of St. Helena. Between 1961 and 1963, the entire population was resettled in Calshot, near Southampton, England, following a volcanic eruption. When they returned home, they left behind a small Tristanian community. Doomsday Tristan da Cunha did not have any military bases, so it was not a target during World War III. Like the rest of The British overseas territories, it lost communication with London. For a while, however, it was able to maintain contact with St. Helena and the Falkland Islands. News of the Doomsday attacks was received with horror. The island's society may have looked the picture of rugged self-reliance, but all the adult...
