TerryJohnstonThe best holiday spot for rock stars like Beyonce and Jay-Z is on a yacht in the Adriatic Sea.
The highest earning couple in showbiz recently cruised the Adriatic, visiting Dubrovnik, Cavtat and Lokrum island on the 47.8 meter Va Bene yacht, which rents for about 119,000 pounds per week and has six bedrooms, a sun deck, satellite TV and two jet skis on board. While this particular yacht is out of the price range for most vacationers, yachting is probably one of the easiest celeb holidays to replicate. It's possible to cruise the turquoise waters of the Adriatic in style at the luxe end of the market with Black Tomato, which can arrange a week's crewed trip on board a 66fit sailing boat featuring all teak decks and pristine white upholstery from 2,000 pounds per person, based on eight people sharing.

nikoretroAdventure travelers are generally looking for three things: historical sights, interesting cultures and natural wonders. Ethiopia's Somali region is somewhat short on the historical sights, but it is strong on the culture and nature aspects, making it a potential adventure travel destination of note. The main historical sight in the region is Alibilal Cave in the Erer District, about 6 miles from Erer town.
This cave is covered in prehistoric paintings of cows, giraffes, gazelle and other figures. In terms of culture, the Somali region delivers some great attractions. There are not many places left in the world where you can see camel herders living much as they did centuries ago. You can drink fresh camel milk in traditional domed huts, and try shay Somali which is Somali tea mixed with sugar and camel's milk that tastes a lot like Indian chai. Because Somalis are not used to tourism, adventure travelers here will be free from a lot of the usual hassles like touts and pushy vendors.
