Footloose and fancy free-wheeling

Article Abstract:

The volcanic Japanese island of Amami-Oshima is very different from mainland Japan. It is much quieter, and is almost tropical in appearance. The island is mountainous, and this can present a significant challenge for those who choose to cycle there. However, hard cycling is rewarded with magnificent views of palms, coral reefs and small fishing villages. Local people are friendly to visitors, and farmers are likely to permit camping in their fields.

Cricket is extremely popular in South Africa. Many people attend cricket matches, where there is a lively, relaxed atmosphere. The most beautiful cricket ground in South Africa is the Newlands ground in Cape Town, located at the foot of Table Mountain and close to the Stellenbosch wine region. Cricket is playing an important part in uniting South African society, with the national selectors encouraging non-white players.
