Singapore
Explore the city by driving round the Civic District, passing by the Padang, Cricket Club, historic Parliament House, Supreme Court and City Hall. Next, you will stop at the Merlion Park and enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay. Do not miss to take a picture of The Merlion, a mythological creature that is part lion and part fish. Then you ill visit Thian Hock Keng Temple, one of Singapore’s oldest Buddhist-Taoist temples, before driving past Chinatown. Stop by a Local Handicraft Centre and observe up-close craftsmen at work. Proceed to the National Orchid Garden, located within Singapore Botanic Gardens, which boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 orchid plants. Our final stop at Little India will give you a scent of joss sticks, jasmine and spices.
Hong Kong Island Tour The tour begins with a tram ride to Victoria Peak for a 360-degree view of the city, harbour, and islands that has mesmerized visitors and inspired photographers since the tramway opened in 1888. The transport waits at the top to drive to the next destination, Aberdeen. Here the contrast in Hong Kong lifestyles is never more evident. Sampans zip around the harbour, their size dwarfed by huge multi-million dollar yachts and fishing boats in the marina. A sampan cruise (optional) around the docked boats provides a glimpse of everyday life as people go about their business repairing nets, cooking, and sorting the catch on their fishing boat. Next stop is at the popular outdoor shopping market known as Stanley Market. Good bargains are designer goods and factory outlet clothing, brassware, porcelains, leather goods and souvenirs such as, silk shorts, and jade trinkets. En route to Stanley, pass the lovely Repulse Bay. In Repulse Bay, one building of particular interest is a glistening new glass high-rise that features a cut out in the middle. In keeping good with Feng Shui, the cut out allows the dragon an unobstructed journey from the hill should he need to drink from the bay.

WONDERS OF THE Azamara Club Cruises • Azamara Journey 13 nights • 23rd May 2013 The beautiful towns and cities which stand along the mysterious Black Sea coast assure a voyage of extreme beauty and a mosaic of fascinating cultures and history.

An added bonus to this particular holiday is that you will cruise on intimate and elegant Azzamara Journey; a ship small enough to get right into the very heart of your destination. Azamara Club Cruises offer a relaxed , yet luxurious ‘country club’ feel on board and a ‘more inclusive’ package, meaning you get more for your money.

Independence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as “the Fourth of July”. It is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. It is a day of revelry, of fireworks and parades, of barbecues and carnivals - in short, of all things American. People travel to New York City for the Fourth of July for many reasons - some to be with family, others to watch the awe-inspiring Macy’s 4th of July Firewords Show. Each year on the Fourth of July, millions of revelers journey to the banks of the Hudson River in NYC to watch the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks Show. At this stunning NYC event, first held in 1958, six barges will launch 40,000 fireworks over 1,000 feet in the air as smaller boats blast water jets of red, white, and blue.
