The selected cities will carry out diverse cultural and tourism activities to promote cultural exchanges among the three countries. Whangārei’s much-loved Fireworks Spectacular is on again this year, with November 5, Bonfire Night, set to be explosive. The Guy Fawkes event, which was cancelled last year due to the cost of hiring Semenoff Stadium, will see gates at the stadium open at 6pm on November 5, for what promises to be a fun-filled family event.
We are out there all the time, fishing, trying to add another fish to the list. Jesse, who is 9, likes to say we are addicted, and that’s probably true. Splash out on this quietly luxurious A-frame treehouse with floating gas fire inside and a huge deck with outdoor copper bath tub and firepit. The treehouse is tucked away in badger-living woodland near St Briavels Common.
For those with children, a one-of-a-kind floating school will provide a youth education program. “Drownings happen year-round, with swimming and boating in the summer and extreme sports and fishing this time of year,” he said. “In wintertime, people drown falling off the ice shelf. There are year-round seasonal activities on the Great Lakes and there’s now a higher risk for extreme water sports enthusiasts.” It is of great significance for Weifang to showcase its cultural charms to the world and to strengthen international cultural exchanges and cooperation, local officials said at a news conference on October 14.
It was once the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of the god Helios standing by the harbour entrance, and one of the seven ancient wonders of the world. The Colossus may have gone, but the more than 600-year-old citadel and the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of St John, along with dozens of other Unesco-registered monuments, still dominate. And there are intimate places such as the Mevlana shisha bar, with its mosaic floor and stained glass (facebook.com/hookahbarrhodes). Stay within walking distance of the Old Town in the Semiramis, overlooking the Aegean (seven nights’ B&B from £324pp, including flights; travelrepublic.co.uk).

Malaga makes a worthy weekend in itself, with its beaches, Picasso connections and sweeping views from its 11th-century Moorish fortress, the Alcazaba. In the evenings beachfront chiringuitos, little informal restaurants on the sand, grill espetos — sardines — on wooden embers; you eat them with your fingers (chiringuitopicasso.com). Finally, Rhodes may not have the uber-trendiness of Mykonos or Santorini, but it does have discreet hipster hangouts such as Casa Cook, on the coast by Kolymbia, 30 minutes’ drive south of the capital. This is a bohemian boutique hotel, all clean lines, woven throws, rattan furnishings and polished concrete, and in late October it is warmer and a great deal cheaper than its more fashionable cousins (B&B doubles from £107; mrandmrssmith.com).
Nearby, a wildflower meadow leads to the Offa’s Dyke trail and River Wye. In-tree entertainment is provided by a bird feeder hanging at eye level opposite the king-size bed on the mezzanine, reached via a spiral staircase. Binoculars for birdwatching and a telescope for star-gazing are provided, as is a welcome hamper of local products.
And prioritise small, self-catering or family-run accommodation over big properties, which can feel desolate when they’re empty. For instance, bottom trawl nets – which can get caught on reefs – are lost more often that nets that don’t make contact with the sea floor. Our research findings help highlight where to focus efforts to stem the tide of fishing pollution. It can also help inform fisheries management and policy interventions from local to global scales. Tolle “was reportedly participating in a kite surfing lesson when, for unknown reasons, he began struggling in the water,” the DNR said.
Dave Benjamin, with the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project, said, “People who participate in extreme water sports push their limits and overcome challenges. Unfortunately, sometimes incidents do happen, even if they have a long history.” My son Jesse and I learned to fish in the past couple of years—I mean, fishing-fishing, really fishing, the more involved stuff, patience and technique, not the wizardry of a fly rod but pretty much everything else. We have caught big ones and small ones, and we have lost big and small ones too.
