British mountaineer Frank Smythe stumbled upon the Valley of Flowers in 1931. 'In all my mountain wondering,' he wrote, 'I have not seen a more beautiful valley where the human spirit may find repose.' The meadows of tall wild flowrs are a glorious sight on a sunny day, rippling in the breeze, and f

IRELAND:
>Few countries have a tourist image so plagued by cliché as Ireland. From shamrocks and shillelaghs to leprechauns, lovable rogues and 40 shades of green, there’s a plethora of platitudes to wade through before you scramble ashore on the real Ireland.
>But it’s well worth looking beyond the tourist tat, for the Emerald Isle (oops, there we go again) is one of Europe’s gems, a scenic extravaganza of lake, mountain, sea and sky that’s still gorgeous enough to make your jaw drop despite the best efforts of developers to scar some of the most beautiful bits with serried ranks of holiday homes. From the lonely, wind-lashed wilderness of Donegal to the picture-postcard harbour villages of County Cork, there are countless opportunities to get outdoors and explore, whether it’s surfing the beach breaks of Bundoran, cycling the coast of County Antrim, or hiking the hills of Kerry and Connemara.
FAST FACTS:
AREA: 84,421 SQ KM
CAPITALS: DUBLIN(IRELAND), BELFAST(NORTHERN IRELAND)
FAMOUS FOR: U2, St Patrick, Guinness
Languages: English, Irish Gaelic
Population: 3.9 million(Ireland), 1.7million (Northern Ireland)
TRAVEL HINTS: Keep an umbrella with you at all times, dress in layers and always stop to chat.

Norway is a country at a crossroads, although given Norway’s natural wonders and significant wealth, it’s a situation in which most countries in the world would love to find themselves.

Norway is, by any standards, one of the most beautiful countries on earth, but that beauty brings with it a responsibility that weighs heavily upon Norwegians. For here is a people with an enduring love for the natural world that is profoundly etched into the national character. In the past, this was expressed in the Norwegian tradition of isolated farmsteads that colonised the most secluded corners of the country’s wilderness.

You're going to spend a lot of money and you'll like it. Norway's laid-back cities provide stylish cafes, impressive coastal scenery, & museums displaying Viking ships, slick Scandinavian designs & horrifying wax zombies doing things to seals that cause most to wince.From Stavanger to Tromso, wilderness is always present and always staggering. Enjoy fjords, glaciers and mountains, all linked by a huge network of skiing & hiking trails, and dotted with scenic huts that provide some of Norway's cheapest lodging.

FAST FACTS:
AREA: 324,220 SQ KM
CAPITAL : OSLO
COUNTRY CODE: 47

LANGUAGES: Norwegian, English and Sami

INTRODUCTION: Belgium's a bizarre little place. Called 'Europe's most eccentric country' in one breath & 'boring' in the next, if you want something offbeat, this is it.
Ruled for centuries by ever-changing European powers, Belgie to the Flemish & La Belgique to the nation's French speakers only came into being in 1830. These days it's a bit like a teenager - world - weary, unruly & avant-garde all rolled into one. Don't make the mistake of judging it on day one or, worse still, in the first hour. It's the sort of place that takes time to know.
Belgium boasts one of Europe's Art Nouveau jewels & strokes of surrealism, all are displayed.
To top it off, Belgians have a keen sense of the good things in life; they know how to eat well, they make some of the world's best beers and there's no need to introduce their chocolates.

FAST FACTS:
AREA: 30000 SG KM
CAPITAL : BRUSSELS
FAMOUS FOR chocolate, beer, Bruges & tennis stars Kim Clijsters & Justine Henin -Hardenne.
LANGUAGES: Flemish, French, German.
Population : 10.2 million.
PHRASES : Dag/bonjour (dagschotel in Flemish/French), dag/au revoir (goodbye), dank U/merci (thanks), hoe veel kost het? c'est combien? (how much is it?)
TRAVEL HINTS : The 'dish of the day' (dagschotel in Flemish, plat du jour in French) is good value. Train fares cost 50% less on weekends. If the budget's tight, buy pralines from supermarkets rather than chocolateries.
ROAMING BELGIUM: Belgium's big three - Brussels, Bruges & Antwerp - are essential stops. Day trip it to Ypres & Ghent, then burrow down in the Ardennes.

ICELAND: Iceland is a country in the making, a vast volcanic laboratory where mighty forces shape the land & shrink you to an awestruck speck. See it in the gushing geysers, glooping mud pools & slow, grinding glaciers. Experience it first hand, bathing in turquoise-coloured hot springs, kayaking through a fjord or crunching accross a dazzling-white icecap. The landscape is infectious : hidden energy and a desire to shape the world as Icelandic traits. Compact capital Reykjavik may just contain the world's highest concentration of dreamers, authors, poets and musicians. They all love a party - join them on the runtur, a weekend-long pub crawl like no other, to see the unexpected side of local life.
