Located on the river of the same name, Niagara Falls form a large group of waterfalls in the eastern part of the border between Canada and the United States. These famous waterfalls are not renowned for their height, but rather because of its size and flow of water from the Great Lakes of North America. No doubt, it is a wonder on earth that should ever see in life.

Niagara Falls actually consists of three waterfalls: The “Falls Canada” (Ontario), the “American Falls” (New York) and “Bridal Veil Falls.”

Besides its beauty and spectacular Niagara Falls are very useful for hydropower, and promote tourism in the area. Particularly in two cities: Niagara Falls (New York) and Niagara Falls (Ontario).

Recommendations to visit Niagara Falls

* Most tourist season occurs in spring and summer in the northern hemisphere, so perhaps it is best to avoid these dates. However at that time draws much attention from artificial lights on the Canadian side.
* Niagara Scenic Trolley is an agency that offers guided tours through the cave of the winds to a point just below the waterfall, Bridal Veil.
* Two of the best spots to see the falls from Canada are Queen Victoria Park and the Konica Minolta Tower.

Croatia, this beautiful country with a rich historical past and a city imbued with a monumental beauty out of the ordinary. Croatia devastated by war, still bleeding from the wounds of their infighting. Croatia, a country that raises its head, arrogant, demanding what belongs in its own right: to be recognized as one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in Europe.

When we think automatically think Dubrovnik Croatia, known as the Pearl of the Adriatic. A city exquisite medieval intense flavor, soft and smooth sounds in their pictures, a decent place to relax and stroll without time or place.

But Croatia is not just Dubrovnik, has beautiful places, places worth visiting and is remembered forever in our memory. From ancient cities with a high architectural value as Split, Osijek and Zadar, natural parks such as Plitvice of how great images we offer in another article, to islands sprinkled across the Adriatic which more beautiful than before.

And one of these islands of Korcula, in southern Dalmatia region, the green and unspoiled island on the Adriatic, a place where you go to be in private, without stress, without pressure or hassles, just to stroll through its streets in Venetian style. Think of your capital with the same name, Korcula, Dubrovnik is to imagine a tiny but, more contained and intimate. A small town of just 4,000 inhabitants seems to have been stuck in the past. A place where we can easily imagine how it was that time with the Mediterranean and the Adriatic were the center of trade to the East.

Historically, this city founded by Antenor, one of the heroes of that famous story of Troy, the island was first occupied by Greeks and later by the Romans. This is because its green forests, where pine forests and valleys alternate and their remote and secluded coves sea have always provided its residents a haven of peace.

The city is surrounded by a stone wall with turrets at the corners. When you disembark and put foot on land, you find gothic style houses with small palaces and all surrounded by narrow cobblestone streets to classic Venetian style. It’s like having stopped in the very heart of Venice (no channels of course).

In the center of the city and dominates, is the Cathedral of San Marcos of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance boasts some frescoes inside by Tintoretto. Opposite stands the beautiful City Hall. Nor should we forget to visit the Church of All Saints in Renaissance style with a beautiful Baroque altar.

But if there is anything of or presume the inhabitants of Korcula are his relationship with Marco Polo. Say he was born on this island, and that she lived for years. His house can still be visited and the views from the tower of the palace are magnificent. He was also in Korcula where he was arrested before being taken to Genoa.

There are many relationships that have the island to Venice and his style, which also is fed by its traditions and festivals. The Moreska or dance of the swords was imported here from Spain and becomes a representation of the struggle between Moors and Christians. Korcula is celebrated on 29 September, the day of San Teodoro, patron of the city, and in it, the white king has to face the Black inside a circle formed by the supporters of both sides. From the towers of the city, as if it were a medieval battle, blowing their horns announcing huge battle and then the party begins …

To end the trip, nothing better than to seek and find Lumbarda, a fine sandy beach that can only be reached from the sea and will serve to settle and start a new journey through some other point in Croatia.

Paddle Boarding is the new trend sweeping through beaches over the world, it is also the most antiquated water sport on the planet. This is paddle surfing, which is now becoming popular with regular surfers after decades of being unfashionable. Stand up paddle surfing was a mode of transport for ancient Polynesians who used the mode as a method of getting from one island to another. However, now that surfing more a recreational activity rather than a practical mode of transport, the paddle surf has seen a decline. Being much less physically challenging than its younger cousin, it is less sporty and therefore has of the last century been replaced, by the less practical form of standing surfing. With the exception of instructors that would paddle out further in to the ocean to get a better view of their students, paddle surfing has been seldom seen in the past decades. Now on the beaches of Maui and even Cornwall it is not such an alien sight to see a man or woman on a board with a paddle in their hand. This is mostly due to the glamour injected in to the sport by famous practitioners. Spread all over glossy magazines recently was the sight of Jennifer Anniston having a go in Hawaii has attracted many other glamorous types to the sport, coming from the Maui vacation rentals in their wetsuits, ready for a day’s paddle boarding. Now you can go paddle boarding in many locations. There are those who are half freezing to death as they practice the sport in Cornwall, then there are those who go to the home of the activity, back to Polynesia. But Hawaii is particularly popular for the sport at this time of year, not to mention this is the location getting all the celebrity attention. Allowing you to luxuriate in warm seas rather than catching Pneumonia on the Cornish coast. The paddle surf board itself is closer to a kayak than a surf board, broad in size and very easy to stand on. Designed for floating and buoyancy rather than catching and gliding on waves. Thankfully for novices it is much easier to grasp than its younger cousin of what now may be called conventional surfing. In fact it even helps to be inexperienced if you are just picking up the sport. Those that are experienced find it difficult coming to terms with this form of surfing, positioning themselves face on to the water rather than sideways. Then there is the paddle which many that are used to surfing without one find cumbersome. It can seem quite amazing how quickly you seem to pick up the practice. While you’ll hardly be a pro in an hour and there may be a few mishaps, it is also quite easy to become quickly competent. You may tumble at first, with the hard part being going against the current and in to the sea, yet once you catch a flow you can be riding waves in no time.
