1     it is a waterfront city with the sea all around it; there’s wonderful surfing and plenty of bays for sunbathing and swimming. It’s also a very cosmopolitan city, so there’s a wonderful choice of restaurants.

2     it is especially exciting every August during the festival, when there’s a programme of music, dance, and the arts. There is also ‘the Fringe’, a massive alternative festival, which has hundreds of events – comedy, theatre, amateur student groups, street entertainers. And the pubs stay open until much later than usual during the Festival, which adds to the atmosphere.

3     The pyramids are amazing, but the best thing about Cairo is the museums, which are absolutely fantastic.

4     It isn’t as crowded as nearby Florence and Pisa. You can explore Lucca on foot in about an hour. It is surrounded by Renaissance town walls, which are amazing – they are completely intact and you can peer into people’s living rooms as you walk past. Or you can walk from one end of the town to the other along Via Fillungo. Nearby there’s a wonderful open-air festival every year, where they perform Puccini’s operas.

5     The Laotians are lovely people. They showed him how it is possible to be happy with very little money. The scenery is spectacular. The Mekong River is impressive; it flows far away over the sands in the dry season and speeds by the city like a torrent when the rainy season begins.
