Underneath the earth’s crust, there are underground lakes where you can exercise your flippers and your lungs without the crowds, the noise and experience middle earth.
We live in Vancouver, Canada. It's a rather nice place, where water is plentiful. The primary area for visitors is downtown, which happens to sit on a bay. It's a lovely place, such that the city has spent much effort and money to make it a place to see. And, as…

Here's an interesting example, The Runit Dome. What is it? The…
Here's another in our endless parade of posts about places that you should really see but probably won't. Sure, Tahiti is great, but what if you are in "bragging rights" mode and want to make your friends' jaws drop? Here's a good chance and, even better, it's in Thailand; Koh Chang to…
