If you’re pondering where to travel next, here are 10 destinations to add to your travel wish list... 6 PERU High in the Andean mountains lies an ancient city that had been lost for hundreds of years. Mysteriously abandoned in the 16th century, it remained a secret from the Spanish conquerors, and it seemed as though it was destined to remain shrouded in mist, forgotten to the world forever. But it was biding its time, waiting… until in 1911 it was discovered once again, and the world’s love affair with the ancient Inca wonder began. The ancient citadel was a centre for worship, astronomy observation and a retreat for the Inca royalty. Nestled high in a cloud forest at the end of an ancient mountainous pathway leading from UNESCO World Heritage Centre Cusco, it is the one of the most awe-inspiring archaeological sites on earth. What more does one need to fire the imagination and spirit of adventure in every human being? Transport yourself to a different setting. In a desert plain south of Lima there rests over 300 vast geometric figures and drawings of mammals, insects and deities each spanning between 50 and 1200 feet in length. These are the Nazca Lines, one of the world’s greatest enigmas in purpose and even date of creation (thousands of years to be sure). It is yet another example in our world of how incredible human races of the past were, leaving legacies that cannot be matched today in raw beauty and their ability to evoke astonishment and reverence simultaneously. Lima is the capital of Peru, and one of the most culturally rich and vibrant places in South America. A melting pot of ancient traditions and evolved culture, a mix of textures and colour found in the buildings and on the streets, and a famed gastronomic culture, makes Lima a city well worth exploring. Lima is a chaotic and sophisticated blend of experience. Cusco, the ancient Incan capital will give travellers the authentic Peruvian experience. Wander through the striking network of cobbled paths and discover the grand churches, temples and architecture that were once at the heart of the Incan Empirial city. Cusco is also well known for its vibrant night life and dining culture, so an overnight trip to the city is a must. Immerse yourself in the historical landscape of the ancient Inca cities, with a trek to Machu Picchu, a magnificent stone complex built by the Incas in 1450. The ancient city ruins are built along the mountain ridges in Cusco Region and offer travellers an awe- inspiring and incredible experience. Here, history, art, culture and nature are at one’s fingertips. A blend of the old and the new, the ancient and the mysterious, Peru has the ability to transport you to a world unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. Take me there SACRED LAND OF THE INCAS Embark on a 15 day adventure with Intrepid and be astounded by the magic and mystery of Peru’s sacred ruins, natural wonders and people. From Lima to La Paz, wander along the trails of Amazon rainforest, witness Machu Picchu, visit the floating reed islands of Uros on Lake Titicaca and marvel at the Spanish colonial architecture. From $4,035* per person. Price based on twin share for 14 nights (tour only), departing 2nd November 2017. * Price is in AUD, per person based on twin share and correct as of 25 July 2017.

The culinary scene takes a progressive and produce- focused approach by providing gourmet food that is locally sourced. Explore the nation’s history at the many museums, cycle along the harbour, and chill out at the funky hole in the wall bars. Take a trip to the Northland’s beautiful beaches like Ninety Mile Beach for surf and sand dunes, or Bay of Islands for a swim and kayak around the clustered tropical isles. Other islands to explore are the volcanic Rangitoto Island, and the pristine Waiheke Island. Reach the country’s most northerly tip at Cape Reinga, and learn its spiritual significance to the Maori people. From Auckland, embark on a road trip, and head up the scenic Pacific Coast Highway towards Napier, and explore the coastal and country delights. As you head ninety minutes from Auckland, make a stop at Coromandel Peninsula, and check out the Cathedral Cove and serene hot water beach. Also nearby is Mount Maunganui, where two different beaches collide, one made for surfing and the other for paddling. For a more relaxing experience, travel to Hawke’s Bay to dine and wine at the many wineries, including the country’s oldest. New Zealand’s western north island region is home to diverse landscapes, from unique volcanic reserves, thermal baths, and snowy ski mountains to lush gardens and urban hubs. Smoking geysers and bubbling mud set the scene of the volcanic terrain, while thermal baths provide mineral-laden mud pools for visitors to relax in. At Tongariro National Park is where skiers and snow boarders can find thrilling ski slopes across the stunning mountain scenery, including Mt Ruapehu – the north island’s highest mountain. The west north region is also home to the magical Hobbiton movie set, where The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed. Wellington, the nation’s capital, is rich in culture, culinary wonders and arts, as well as beaches and regional parks.

  • Budapest 3D Underground Map
    Budapest 3D underground map Katalin ZSOLDI Eötvös Loránd University, Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics Abstract How can we represent the objects under the surface, if we want to show their real position and depth? How can we introduce overlapping objects like crossing metro lines, multi-storey cellars? My research theme is to de- velop a 3D presentation method for the underground objects, presenting it on the example of Budapest. Keywords: underground, 3D, stereoscopic projection, Budapest 1. Introduction Budapest is a beautiful city, millions of tourists visit every year. There are lots of buildings and parks on the surface, the city is many-sided, but there is another world underground, which is equally varies. You can find metro lines, cellars, caves, public works and many other objects. My map presents natural and built objects in 3D. It can be displayed in the Visualization Center, a stereoscopic 3D laboratory of Eötvös Loránd Uni- versity or by any equipments (e.g. 3D laptops) that offers real 3D projec- tion. 2. Sources of data 2.1. Displaying objects There are many different objects under the surface of Budapest we: four metro lines (line 4 is under construction), public works, limestone quarries in Kőbánya and in Budatétény, cellar systems, shelters, tunnels, garages, cellar prisons, cellar system and maze under the Buda Castle, wells, caves and archaeological sites. The first task was to collect data and get aquire plans of these objects. As Budapest has no database about these facilities, so I had to collect the data from various sources, I also had to visit each place one-by-one.

  • Bacchus Caves and Quikrete Uncork Perfect Wine
    Contacts: Chad Corley The QUIKRETE® Companies (404) 634-9100 [email protected] BACCHUS CAVES AND QUIKRETE® UNCORK PERFECT WINE STORAGE Constructing Wine Caves with Shotcrete Becomes a Refined Process ATLANTA (June 28, 2016) – During the past two decades, Bacchus Caves has established a reputation for being the premier company for constructing the highest-quality and most elaborate private and commercial underground developments in the country. While each project presents its own set of unique challenges, the recently completed private 6,000 square-foot residential cave built outside of Springfield, Mo. proved extremely challenging so Bacchus Caves consulted with QUIKRETE® to come up with a joint solution for the unique ground support conditions. QUIKRETE recommended using QUIKRETE® MS – Fiber Reinforce Shotcrete as the preliminary support material in very weak ground that could not be stabilized with standard excavation and wet mix shotcrete practices. Typically, Bacchus Caves excavates eight to 10 feet of soil then applies wet mix shotcrete at the end of each work day to stabilize the tunnel. Unfortunately, on the Missouri project, the ground would not accommodate excavation in more than two-foot intervals, so applying shotcrete in a dry process proved to be the best option for stabilizing the tunnel immediately. In a dry process, water is added to the shotcrete at the spray nozzle rather than being blended with the shotcrete in the pump before being spray-applied. Through a close working relationship with QUIKRETE, Bacchus Caves successfully excavated the complex cave system and installed more than 1,000 cubic yards of QUIKRETE® MS – Fiber Reinforce Shotcrete.
