The BBC has reported on a proposal to build a ship tunnel in Norway. I would normally offer to slit my throat if the alternative was to go on an ocean cruise. The thought of being couped up on a floating prison and subject to the whims of the captain would not suit me. However, if it were to include something like this on the itinerary, I am sure I could be tempted!

On my first visit to the US - to New York - in 2007, I was struck by the presence of large wooden water tanks on the roofs of most buildings - both commercial buildings and apartment blocks. Various news outlets - including RTE - have reporting on the finding of a dead body in such a water tank at a hotel in Los Angeles.

There is industrial heritage and there is industrial heritage. I think the Camino del Rey in Spain comes under the latter heading. This is a pathway completed in 1905 to allow workers at two hydro electric generation stations pass through the narrow gorges between Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls.
It is currently being restored as a tourist attraction. I'm tempted to say that it is on my list of things to do before I die, but the cynic in me says that it could be the last thing I do before I die!

I hate having to associate tunnels with crime, but they seem to go hand in hand. This BBC News story is about a 45m long tunnel dug by thieves who used it to break into a bank vault in Berlin.
