The sunny seaside town of Cobbits Bay used to be a sleepy little fishing village… …a place where you could go to relax, with long walks in the green countryside, a boat trip across the bay, and a fresh seafood lunch to top it all off. (15)

But that’s all changing now that a certain movie has put it right on the international tourist map… we’re talking nine busloads of tourists a week! …What do the locals think about all this new attention, well let’s just say… they’re not exactly Over The Moon. (15)

Most people go away on a holiday to relax - to take a break from the hurly burly of modern life.  But we're about to visit a holiday destination which will give you nothing but stress!  (10)

I think I need a holiday after all that.  Your wallet will need one too, because all that excitement doesn't come cheap.  The accommodation and living expenses are at standard hotel prices, but the three tours, including insurance and equipment, will set you back about $8000.  (15)

Some of the most fun and exciting places you'll find during your trip will be the local markets.  They're a hive of activity and colour, with a range of interesting, and sometimes totally weird items.  But it definitely pays to know how the haggling system works, so we've enlisted some experts to take us on a tour.  (20)

Luxury yachts have always been hot, but now the boats – and the parties on board – are bigger, better and more extravagant than ever.   Lets take a look at life in the wet set.  (15)

Okay, so you've booked a lovely vacation, packed up your favourite clothes, and cleaned out the fridge.  There's just one thing left to take care of... your beloved pet. But if you can't bear the thought of leaving Fido or Spotty, or Puss Puss behind while you go off and have a good time... maybe you need to book a second holiday - for your pet!  (20)

One of the things Noosa is renowned for, is its local restaurants.  Internationally recognised and ranging from asian to mediterranean to australian, you could spend your whole holiday just eating.  And that's just what we're about to do.  (15)

Whoa.  That's a lot of food to eat.  But somebody has to do it.  After a week of all that indulgence, perhaps its time for something a bit more spartan...   Let's head to a village in Greece where you'll find the food and lodgings to be a little bit more modest...  (15)

In case you were wondering, Peter actually spent another hour sitting on that donkey waiting for it to move.  Maybe it just doesn't understand English.   Now if you've ever had problems communicating in another country, we may have just the thing... An electronic translator that - wait for it - it actually works! Check this out.  (15)
