This pristine European island is filled with glaciers, volcanoes, and hot, mineral-rich springs to explore. Native Icelanders have a remarkably rich history and culture, and would love to share it with you - they are great storytellers. Stroll through the charming Austurvollur Square, and be sure to stop in one of the many cafes for some of the freshest seafood you''ll find anywhere. Or visit the mighty Gullfoss or "Golden Waterfall," the most dramatic cascade in Europe.
If this man-made waterway did not exist, you would have to sail an extra 100 miles to reach the end of the Cape. Opened in 1914, this 17-mile canal is frequently filled with a flotilla of small pleasure boats, ships, trawlers and tankers. The two steel bridges that span the canal, the Sagamore and Bourne bridges, are actually owned and operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and are the Cape's only link by road to the mainland. As you glide down this waterway, keep an eye out for the town of Buzzards Bay which grew up on the banks of the canal after it opened.
This vibrant city is actually a rich mosaic of many "neighborhoods." Feel the excitement of Broadway with its great plays and musicals. Explore the financial district-Wall Street and there''s Soho with its galleries, famed Greenwich Village, Midtown, with its glamorous department stores and soaring architecture, and museums everywhere. It truly is a wonderful town!
