Alameda Park, just west of the Cathedral, is a well-maintained public park that offers gorgeous views of Santiago. Be sure to walk through the park, about as far as you can to the wester edge. There you'll find a stunning vista of the USC -- that's University of Santiago de Compostela, not the other USC -- that's worth enjoying for several minutes, or an hour.

Read MoreShepherd Wheel Workshop - Historical Site
/
Before Sheffield was a steel town, it was a knife-sharpening town. No, not kidding. The power of water was typically used to mill grains, but here, it turns a series of belts that turn grinding wheels of different sizes.

There's still a working cinema, restaurant that serves up some tasty quick dishes, a full bar that will make beer nerds quite happy, a room for ping pong (and yes, probably beer pong), and a room set aside for performances. Wow!

Guess what we found a few miles from Knutsford? A huge radio telescope at the Jodrell Bank Discovery Center! Buzz Aldrin and Brian Cox were here just the day before. Yeah, we missed them.
Read MoreElite Health - Sports Therapy - Knutsford, England

Read MoreCopenhagen Downtown Hostel
/
The rooms were small, but quite clean. The cleaning staff -- no, they don't clean the rooms every day -- were present most of the time, and did an excellent job keeping the common areas (shared bathrooms, for instance) quite clean, even with frequent use by people with, er... questionable hygienics.
Read MoreRundetaarn - Round Tower
/
The Rundentaarn, or Round Tower, is... well... a round tower. Visitor can walk up the corkscrewing paved path -- not steps -- for eight "turns" to get to the top. Once there, you're rewarded with some stunning views of Copenhagen from one of the highest vantage points. Of course, the day we were there, it was windy and cloudy. Welcome to Denmark.

With everything freezing outside, we stepped into the fabulous Botanical Gardens. It was humid and warm inside -- just what we needed. The Gardens have two different levels so you can see down through the canopy level. This is a true research garden available for teaching and general information. It was absolutely beautiful inside.

Christiania is an area within Copenhagen that is self-governing, which promotes self expression. The area has been around for more than 30 years. There are restaurants, stages, schools, etc... There is a calm about the area. No photography is allowed within the area. I wish we had more time to explore.

Read MoreLe château de Corlay - Castle
/
The Castle Corlay isn't much to look at when you get up close. It makes an imposing figure as you dive into town, but beyond the walls on the side of the lake... it's pretty sparse. Still, it's a good place to take a few pictures. Just don't expect much in the way of information when you get there.
