Chinese, Malay and Indian traditions meld in this island-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The site of the world’s busiest port, Singapore offers the Mustafa Centre, a 24-hour mall and Sunte, the world’s largest fountain. Play evening golf on lighted fairways; experience the nightlife on Mohamed Sultan Road; or relax at an outdoor spa. Be certain not to miss the savory seafood.

Semarang/Borobudur, Indonesia
07:30
18:00
This commercial port, busily exporting the island’s most important products (including of course the beans for your next cup of java), is your gateway to two amazing religious sites. Borobudur is the largest Buddhist monument in the world – a 3D mandala (diagram of the universe), and perhaps a gigantic textbook to guide mortals striving to attain enlightenment. Prambanan is a complex of lofty, sharply sculpted towers honoring the Hindu triumvirate of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. Both religions traveled this way with Indian traders in the early centuries AD.

The city of Surabaya has some fascinating places here to explore. The Arab quarter is like a Middle Eastern medina – a warren of narrow lanes with stalls selling prayer beads next to perfume next to dates. Keep following the lanes to the Masjid Ampel, a historic mosque built in 1421.

Benoa (Denpasar)

Bali is enchanting – a lush, verdant isle where rice terraces color every available acre with the brilliant green of young shoots, and volcanic peaks said to house the gods tower above. It is a deeply spiritual place, where artful offerings of flowers and incense are ever present, and on any given day at least one of the thousands of temples scattered around the island will be hosting a colorful festival. Culturally rich, each village has its own artistic specialty – music, dance, painting, and sculpture. The beaches are tempting, but if you want the real Bali, head for the hills – the Balinese occupy that middle ground, and demons reside in the sea.

Geraldton

The Batavia coast of Western Australia has miles of white sand beaches, emerald seas, and some lovely small towns, one of which is Geraldton. “Gero” to the locals, is blessed with sun and consistent winds, and has become Australia’s wind surfing capital. And kite surfing capital. And not bad for surf surfing either, with miles of famous reef breaks. You can take an eco-cruise of the Abrolhos Islands, a beautiful archipelago that is home to 90 species of seabirds. Watch the sea lions play and feed the huge Sampson fish by hand. Or jump in with them and snorkel around the wreck of the Batavia—the treacherous reef-surrounded atolls have claimed many like her.
