Aube
Like many a region in France, Aube is renowned for its wine production. But
equally worth a mention are its many lakes, rivers and the gentle rolling
countryside, all of which make a perfect base for boating, fishing; and skiing
in winter. We catch a glimpse of its rustic lifestyle and sample some of its
delicious peasant style cuisine

rituals that take place on, in or around this majestic waterway
03:00 Mekong
(Mekong)
Mother Of All Waters In Laos
Our journey along the Mekong continues with a boat trip on the stretch which
runs through the remote north of Laos - an area which until now has hardly been
accessible to foreigners. En route, we step off to visit some of the tiny
villages, we learn the secrets of the daily life of the Theravada Buddhists and
compare the booming modern Thailand on the other side of the river with the
gentle, quiet and closed Laos
04:00 Go 2
(Go 2)
Cape Town
The winds of change that blew over the cape some years ago brought not only
political and social change but they brought more and more tourists to South
Africa too. Today, flights, hotels and restaurants are often overbooked. There
are still social problems of course but tourists have the feeling they are
discovering a magnificent secret.
The wine district around Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, the Garden Route,
the spectacular landscapes and the mild climate, are just a few of the many
delights of this relative newcomer to the tourist circuit

(On Tour)
Arizona
Of all the Southwestern states of the United States of America, Arizona with its

were all filmed against this backdrop.

through the cacti and brush of an Apache reservation, on a horseback ride
through Bryce Canyon and on an exciting wildwater rafting trip. We also
experience a dance performance from a group of Navajo Indians
