I have seen black swans at Spade Oak Nature Reserve in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, UK. Check it here: http://ht.ly/nMflM
The black swan was originally introduced into the UK from Australia to brighten up wildfowl collections and there are only a few places in the UK where you can spot them.
Thank you Sonja!
It must have been a romantic setting.
We went for afternoon tea at the Langham Hotel in London and it was fantastic experience. I would highly reccommend to anyone!

Very good article, I only cruised on the Yangtze River in China and I am not sure I would love to spend my holiday on the ship. I need flexibility and freedom when traveling.

Overland by train from Moscow to Vladivostok then cross into North Korea.
I am very jealous of your trip from Beijing to Guilin on the high speed train! The only "high speed train " experience I have in China is on the Maglev train from the Airport to the city centre of Shanghai and that was magnificent!
I loved street food in Xian (spicy, grilled meat) where after midnight you can have a beer as well. :-)
I am amazed how many countries come out of the Empire when it disitagrated.
