The House in the Middle of the Drina River survived 45-years of Natures Worst

You can huff and you can puff, but you ain’t going to blow this house down. Balancing on a rock in the middle of the Drina River in Serbia, this house has been pounded by floods and high winds – surviving everything nature could throw at it for 45 years. The idea for it came

Now This is Incredible – Massive Tropical Island Built inside a Hanger

The World’s Most Stunning Sinkhole

Most notably known for swallowing up houses, cars, whole streets and occasionally the odd human…it’s difficult to contemplate a sinkhole as being a beautiful tourist attraction.  Remember the disastrous Guatemalan sinkhole?

‘Mental note’…next time I’m in Singapore, stay at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.  With over 2,500 rooms and suites, it is the biggest hotel in Singapore, but who really cares about that…look at that swimming pool!
