These far away lands have always held intrigue and fascination in the dreams of the West.
Discovered by the Portuguese from the East via Africa and the Indian Ocean, and by the Spanish as they continued their dream of travel to the Indies via a Western passsage.
These lovely destinations were part of colonial empires long since retreated into history. What remains is an influence that permeates everyday living.
Such treasures as Bali and Tahiti are true island paradises, and Australia and New Zealand offer language and cultural familiarity to English speaking travelers.
