Morne Rouge Bay is a sheltered beach on Grenada’s southwestern coast, just south of Grand Anse and near the community of Morne Rouge. The bay curves around a small, protected stretch of pale sand, with calm Caribbean water and green hills surrounding the shoreline. Its sheltered position generally produces gentler conditions than Grenada’s more exposed Atlantic coast, making the bay suitable for swimming and paddling.
Malmö is Sweden’s third-largest city, located in the southern province of Skåne beside the Öresund Strait. Its position opposite Copenhagen has made it an important port, trading center, and meeting place, while the city today combines historic neighborhoods with modern architecture and extensive parks.
Tampere is the third largest city in Finland with a population of 182,000. Tampere is also the heart of the Tampere Region which has a dynamic population of about 430,000. In the last few years the city's population has grown rapidly. Tampere is located 110 miles north of Helsinki, the capital.
Fogo Island is a large offshore island in Newfoundland and Labrador, set in the North Atlantic and reached by ferry from Farewell on Newfoundland’s northeast coast. Its landscape is defined by rocky headlands, small coves, rolling hills, exposed coastal trails, and scattered fishing communities. Eleven communities occupy the island, including Fogo, Joe Batt’s Arm, and Tilting, each with its own character and relationship to the sea.

If it wasn't for Paris, Ghent would be medieval Europe's largest city. Steeped in history both rebellious and industrious, it sits at the junction of the Leie and Scheldt rivers and was once the site of armed battles by its townsfolk, who raged against heavy taxes and restricted civil liberties. Ghent is grey and somewhat begrimed — not picturesque like Bruges, but ultimately more realistic. Like Bruges, the town has a belfort well worth climbing and, at the Sint-Baafskathedral, a must-see masterpiece by Jan van Eyck - Adoration of the Mystic Lamb.
