• Being sat in nothing more than a small inflatable zodiac boat, watching whales breach just in the straights North of Quebec in Canada.
• Walking barefoot on the beautiful sandy beaches of La Digue in the Seychelles.
• Walking around the ruins of Machu Pichu in Peru – took my breath away! (and not just because of the altitude).
• Waking up in the morning on board the Eastern Orient Express train, pulling back the curtains and seeing beautiful paddy fields covered in morning mist with sun bursting through.
• Going for a jog around the Opera House in Sydney at 6am followed by a champagne breakfast on one of the private terraces of the Opera House. Later that day driving pillion, on a Harley Davidson, to Bondi Beach, and to cap the day off , we chartered a catamaran for sun-downer cocktails as we sailed around Sydney Harbour. Not  bad work if you can get it!
• Learning to drive a snow-mobile ! such good fun.
• Learning to water-ski, good fun - once I learnt to stand up !
• Learning to scuba dive - once I learnt to roll off the side of the boat !
• Canoeing in Zimbabwe  - was fun, until we started to get between a mummy Hippo and her baby, it soon became less fun and quite intense.
• Getting a “hole in one” at Gleneagles !
