Jakes Hotel, Villas and Spa
Treasure Beach, Jamaica WHAT: Named after a family parrot, Jakes was founded and is still run by local Sally Henzell. There are 30 rooms, cottages and villas spread out over the quaint fishing village on Jamaica’s south coast. Each bohemian-style abode has its own one-of-akind bed, antique furniture, shell fretwork, ceiling fans and louvre windows, which are inspired by Morocco, India and the artist Gaudi. And don’t forget your own wooden outdoor deck and saltwater pool. WHY: Your bathers, a pair of thongs and a laid-back attitude are all you’ll need to bring – it’s the Caribbean after all. HOW: From A$95 per night for a room to A$600 for a villa. www.jakeshotel.com #20 get lost ISSUE #30

Propeller Island City Lodge
Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park
Tschuggen Grand Hotel
WHAT: This habitable work of art is more museum than hotel. Everything you see or sleep on was created by the German artist Lars Stroschen. The 30 rooms range from the tame to the extreme, such as the flying bed, mirror room, blue room and padded cell, or chicken curry, grandma’s, therapy and the upside down room. Each will alter your perspective of reality, though which one you choose depends on how adventurous you are.
WHAT: Atop Cape Town’s swanky Grand Daddy hotel is a souped-up USA-style vintage trailer park. Local designers were brought in to reinvent the interiors of seven 1930s Airstreams. Each of the over-thetop, tongue-in-cheek motor homes has its own theme: Dorothy, afro-funk, the ballad of John and Yoko, Goldilocks and the three bears, earthcote moontides, love of lace and Pleasantville. Big screen TVs, aircon, ensuites and massage services make it the real American dream.
WHAT: Located at an altitude of 1,800 metres, this futuristic five-star resort even has it’s own mountain railcar. Designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, the luxurious residence lies smack-bang in the middle of the Swiss Alps and is split over four levels. At the top is the Arosa Mountain Grotto, which from outside resembles a cluster of glassy mountain peaks. Best of all, the railcar takes you straight to the ski slopes and hiking tracks.
WHY: A super-surreal stay that justifies a trip to Berlin all on its own.
WHY: Forget trailer park trash, this is penthouse park class.
WHY: A ski-in, ski-out mountain lodge with a fairytale element to it.
HOW: Rooms from A$108 to A$262 per night. www.propeller-island.de
HOW: A trailer costs A$143 for two people, including breakfast. www.granddaddy.co.za

Location is everything, as Kelly Irving discovers at the world’s highest alpine concert – the SnowpenAir in Kleine Scheidegg, Switzerland
’M SITTING ON AN ICY HILL WITH Alex, the bartender of the only ‘snow bar’ in sight. All around me are 4,000-metre meringue pie-like peaks, stunning against the cobalt sky. Washed in bright sunlight they rear up like giant shark’s teeth. It’s impressive, but intimidating. It’s the outdoors at its very best. Every breath of fresh alpine air that I swallow goes down like a Vicks VapoDrop, soothing the throat and clearing the nose in a way that makes you want to burst into song. “You’re beautiful,” Alex sings. “You’re beautiful,” he stands. “You’re beautiful to meee!” he stops rubbing factor 30 on his nose and pulls out a Heineken stubby from a hole in the purpose-built wall of

ice. “Prost!” he toasts to the stage in the distance. It is 10am. At a height of 2,061 metres, Kleine Schiedegg’s SnowpenAir is the highest alpine concert in the world. I’ve been lucky enough to score a ringside seat to this two-day so-called ‘rockfest’ (this year’s line-up includes a bunch of German rockers, someone called the Ski-Hut King and, yep, James Blunt) all taking place underneath Switzerland’s notorious Eiger mountain north wall. But I, unlike Alex and his friends, am not just here for the music. Although Kleine Scheidegg is essentially a train station/central hub for connections onto Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in the continent
(which – at 3,454 metres – is known as ‘the top of Europe’), it’s also the gateway for the most celebrated snow terrain in the country. With 213 kilometres of downhill runs, well-prepared pistes ‘n’ powder-perfect slopes, to come here and not ski would be like going to Ireland and not downing a drop of Guinness. The three mountains that Kleine Scheidegg is located beneath – the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau – are the most symbolic sight of the Swiss Alps. I can see why. “The stranger’s first feeling, when suddenly confronted by that towering and awful apparition wrapped in its shroud of snow, is breathtaking astonishment,” wrote Mark Twain on

The alluring Bernese Oberland region has claimed many lives, including more than 60 climbers who have perished attempting the fearsome north face of the Eiger (German for ‘ogre’) . The ‘death wall’ is the stuff of legends. Its tales of tragedy and bravery have featured in books, films and even songs. “You’re beautiful!” croons Alex, serenading the wall with an actual icecold beer. It’s possible that James Blunt does in fact sound a lot better with an accent – or is that due to the booze? What’s different at this place is the lack of overweight security guards running around the grounds after fence-
jumpers. For starters, everyone here looks like a ski pole, and let’s face it, causing a scene isn’t really what this country is about. Efficiency is key. Look at the Swiss Army knife. Accuracy is vital. Some festival-goers are even paid to ensure

sea. Verdant forests fringed by rocky headlands are on one side, and the cloudcovered Mount Santubong rises above the Santubong Peninsula on the other. We land on the beach at Bako National Park and are greeted by a pig-like creature that’s badly in need of a shave. Mashor, my guide, sees my expression and laughs. “Don’t worry, they are harmless. Bearded pigs. They come out of the jungle and lounge around the
park canteen, hoping to steal scraps from the cafeteria staff.” Consulting my guidebook I see that the bristly fellow is indeed a Bornean bearded pig, indigenous to the region.

FTER RETURNING FROM A holiday in the Galápagos Islands, inquisitive friends and family seemed to have just two questions for me. “Did you see boobies?” was the first, followed soon after by, “Charles Darwin went there, didn’t he?” For those who don’t know about boobies, they are gannet-like sea birds commonly found on the Galápagos Islands, famed for their big rubbery Smurf-blue feet. A quick google of the word ‘boobies’ will reveal about 45 million possible webpage results. Not surprisingly, few of the websites feature pictures of birds of the feathered variety.

celebrated visitor – have probably been living in a cave for several millennia and are yet to benefit from the very thing that he is credited with ‘discovering’. For the record, an online search of Darwin’s name only turns up about 16 million pages. The fact that boobies rank higher than one of the most influential men in history may call into question if we humans deserve to be at the top of the evolutionary tree. But it’s probably no shock to most that they do. What is more revealing, however, is that Darwin, contrary to what many people seem to believe, did not exactly discover this tree or even plant its seed.
Genesis
My visit to the remote Galápagos Islands archipelago begins in Quito, Ecuador, about 175 years after Darwin brought his breeches to these parts. Ecuador is the little South American nation that annexed the islands in the 1830s. I spend a few days exploring the Ecuadorian capital, a dynamic city with an attractive old historic centre, before venturing overland to Guayaquil – the departure point for the islands. I head south by bus through the jagged mountain country of the central highlands, down the Pan-American Highway and up and down its tributaries that cut through and alongside the immense Andean crags and volcanoes.
get in the know The biggest Galápagos tortoise ever recorded weighed 249 kilograms and was over 120 years old.
While the dreadful weather doesn’t allow for much sightseeing, the breaks in the rain reveal from the bus window a spectacularly steep landscape, with massive mountains bursting out of the earth into the sky. It’s an unforgiving place. The thin-air chill and the icy drizzle add to the dramatic effect. The vista is often brightened by colourfully clad indigenous women at the roadside, their cheery outfits at odds with the landscape and with their own straight-faced disposition. By the time I arrive at Guayaquil, Ecuador’s biggest city and the gateway to the Galápagos Islands, I feel I’ve seen a good slice of Ecuador.

EER, WE DISCOVER, IS SERIOUS BUSINESS HERE IN St John’s, the capital of Newfoundland and the oldest North American settlement. Shannon, a local boozehound is explaining that the size of a beer stubby in Newfoundland is different to anywhere else in Canada and the USA. “They had to make them shorter and fatter to fit ‘em on the boats,” he says. His accent is a mix of Irish lilt and laid-back Canadian drawl – a cross between Bono and Neil Young. Newfoundland’s tourism slogan is ‘get lost’, which is exactly what we’ve managed to do within the first 10 minutes of driving around. We made a brief stop to ask for directions out of St John’s, but Shannon’s been banging on about beer for over half an hour now. He only pauses to take a slug from a bottle of Eric’s Red Cream Ale, brewed at the nearby Quidi Vidi Brewery. Remember, beer is serious business here. This region of Canada is not often on the itinerary of those from the Southern Hemisphere. There are few places that are farther away from us. The country’s west coast ski fields and Montreal’s festivals attract most of the crowds, while this small island floating in the Atlantic at the mouth of the St Lawrence River is usually forgotten. The island doesn’t seem to have changed much since explorer John Cabot landed here and named it ‘New Founde Lande’ in 1497. Given the lacklustre title, I wonder if he had been on the sauce himself. It’s not exactly creative, especially when you see the stunning coastline and rolling green hills. Today these hills are dotted with rows of colourful wooden houses that contrast greatly with the bleak weather. It is almost as if the locals made their homes as bright and inviting as possible, knowing full well that they could do nothing to temper the elements. St John’s sits in the middle of the east coast of Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula, where it bears the brunt of the Atlantic’s wrath.
Winters here are bitter, with the wind chill dropping temperatures to –15ºC. Most of Newfoundland’s early settlers came from south-east Ireland, which explains the inhabitants’ unique accent and the strong Celtic influence throughout the area. Shannon eventually comes good with directions out of St John’s. After promising to meet him on George St that night for some traditional music, we head south towards the whale-rich waters of Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. We’ve been told to keep an eye on the water during the drive because we’re likely to see whales. However, we’ve also been told to keep an eye on the road for moose – the number one cause of road accidents in these parts. So far this year they have caused over 600 accidents. We decide to keep an eye out for moose.

It may be summer, but we feel the chill as we head out of Bay Bulls on the Gatherall’s catamaran to the reserve. The fishermen who once fished for cod in these waters must have been hardy souls to endure the weather in this part of the world. It was only in the 1990s that the fisheries closed due to over fishing. In 1992 more than 30,000 Newfoundlanders lost their jobs. While many of these fishermen relocated, others renovated their boats so they could take the growing number of tourists out to see whales in the reserve. We’re not out for long before I hear “Thar she blows!” called from the upper deck. Melinda, our host, who can probably talk underwater, is an expert at spotting the giants of the sea.

Once upon a time this space was a derelict cotton factory. Now it’s an intriguing visual space-cum-bar with retro furniture, random sculptures and everyday objects like brooms and glasses. Known for exhibiting work by up-and-coming visual artists, photographers and students, Art Lounge is also an off-the-cuff bar, a concert space and an art bookstore all rolled into one neat little package. Music parties kick off twice a month, with European and local DJs making the New York loft-style space come alive. www.artlounge.net
While the pop art on the walls does take a little inspiration from Warhol himself, this bar is a lot more kitsch than a Campbell’s soup can. Paint tins act as bar stools; lanterns as light fittings. Then there are the throwback film posters, tourism ads, street signs and cooking oil barrels. A small squarish room with, strangely, a distinct North African feel, it also has a stunning summer courtyard out the back.
