Original Toronto Star caption: A Toboggan Ride down the cobbled streets from the mountain top above Madeira's capital; Funchal; offers tourists on the island something different in the way of entertainment. The wooden toboggans; which were once used to carry farm produce down the steep hills; are guided and restrained by men with ropes and the ride could be described as interesting but not particularly exciting for adults.

Lean and friendly Dr. Robin Tattershall, above, offers a different kind of vacation at his Bougainvillea Clinic, left, overlooking Road Town, Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. You can, if you meet the doctor's approval, come away tanned, fit and with a new face or a different nose or figure. The clinic with its pool and Moorish arches was built to be a small, posh hotel.
