For foodies

The egg is one of the most widely eaten foods around the world and can be prepared in a manner of different ways Perhaps most commonly associated with breakfast wersquoll enjoy the following egg dishes at any time or day of the week

Celebrity takes to the skies

The complexities of international travel will surely know no bounds once Australiarsquos borders open so to help Celebrity Cruises has launched Flights by Celebrity

Travel advisors can now book a fly-cruise holiday from doorstep to doorstep with the lowest possible fare guaranteed and travellers able to choose their preferred airline

To celebrate the launch

any guests who book a Celebrity sailing until the end of next month will receive up to $500 airfare credit per booking

Rex launches Canberra to Sydney

Qantas has new competition on its key Sydney-Canberra route with Regional Express set to launch non-stop flights between Canberra and Sydney from 19 April

Qantas Airways is currently the only airline

flying the route following the withdrawal of Virgin Australia with Rex set to fill VArsquos boots to the countryrsquos largest inland city

Rex will also open a lounge at Canberra Airport for its loyalists with ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr describing the deal as a ldquovote of confidencerdquo in the destination

ldquoWe are delighted to be working closely with the airline and Canberra Airport through Visit Canberra to widely promote the new services and contribute to the growth of the routerdquo Barr said

ShakshoukaOf disputed origin shakshouka is most

commonly known as a Maghrebi dish of eggs poached in a delicious sauce of tomatoes olive oil peppers onion and garlic The dish is also commonly spiced with cumin paprika cayenne pepper and nutmeg Preserved lemon sheep milk cheese olives harissa or a sausage such as chorizo or merguez is also commonly added while a variation of the dish in Andalusia will see jamon added to become what is known as lsquohuevos a la flamencarsquo

Egg drop soupSynonymous with Chinese diaspora egg

drop soup contains wispy beaten eggs in a chicken broth But to pass the dish off as this simple does not accurately convey its tastiness Condiments such as pepper scallions and tofu are common additions to this dish which draws its name from the addition of a thin stream of beaten eggs to the boiling broth in the final moments of its preparation This creates thin silken strands or flakes of cooked egg that float to the top

Spanish omeletteA signature dish in Spanish cuisine the

Spanish omelette or Spanish tortilla is a chart-topping tapa but who would blame you for craving it as an appetiser or main course The most popular variant on the Spanish omelette sees onion included although regional differences often result in a thicker (tortiella de pataques) less-fried (tortilla de patatas) or a softer runnier version (tortilla de Betanzos)

Huevos rancherosBorn on rural Mexican farms huevos

rancheros or ldquoeggs ranch-stylerdquo is a breakfast dish consisting of eggs served in the style of the traditional mid-morning fare found in the countryrsquos haciendas The dish consists of fried eggs served on lightly charred tortillas topped with a salsa fresca made of tomatoes chili peppers onion and coriander The meal truly shines with its range of accompaniments including refried beans Mexican-style rice guacamole and slices of avocado with coriander as a garnish

Solar Egg in Sweden

We all imagine the inside of eggs to be a warm and comfortable place and there is perhaps no better example of this than the Solar Egg located in Swedenrsquos Luossabacken ski resort This impressive golden egg designed by local art duo Bigert amp Bergstroumlm houses a four-metre-wide sauna that can accommodate up to eight people at a steamy 75deg Celsius temperature Besides warming the cockles of thankful skiers the Solar Egg is also viewed as an important public sculpture symbolising the rebirth of its host town Kiruna which has been forced in recent years to relocate parts of its city centre because of land damage caused by iron ore mining To our knowledge however there is no accompanying goose monument depicting how this golden egg was laid

The Eggs of Merry Bay in Iceland

Iceland is a country rich in biodiversity and the people here are always proud to promote this virtue to tourists This pride is on full display at The Eggs of Merry Bay an impressive line of 34 giant eggs that represent a tribute to the species of native birds that inhabit the countryrsquos east Located near the town of Djupivogur the walk along the coast has become a very popular tourism draw with each individual egg accurately constructed to show the authentic shapes patterns and colours of each egg species Designed by local artist Sigurdour Gudmundsson in 2009 the eggs are all approximately the same size except for one the egg of the red-throated diver which has a larger egg to denote its status as the official bird of Djupivogur

Make your next trip the most egg-cellent

adventure yet With Easter fast approaching Adam Bishop thought it was time

to truly egg on your next travel challenge with the ultimate guide to the worldrsquos most unusual and impressive eggs


Dali Theatre and Museum in Spain

The famous surrealist artist Salvador Dali has all of his bizarre and creative acumen on display at the Dali Theatre and Museum in the Spanish town of Figueres but perhaps most striking is the collection of giant eggs that adorn the parapets of the museumrsquos facade The building houses the largest collection of Dalirsquos work in the world with the egg a recurring theme in the eccentric artistrsquos paintings along with melting clocks and watches of course representing the concept of renewal continuation and the future One of his best-known paintings featuring an egg is lsquoEggs on a Plate without the Platersquo featuring a watch hanging beneath an ear of corn and beside a plate fried of eggs with a third egg hovering above suspended by a string ndash sounds a bit like a hipsterrsquos breakfast to us really

Riverside Roundabout in Los Angeles

Keep your eyes on the road please driver Itrsquos perhaps a little distracting to approach a roundabout and be confronted with an array of egg-shaped granite faces but thatrsquos just what visitors will see in Los Angeles at the intersection of Riverside Drive and San Fernando Road in Cypress Park Nine giant faces have been meticulously carved into giant egg borders all depicting the mugs of actual local people who were randomly selected from a

ballot to be emblazoned in rock forever The installations are designed to reflect the local community spirit and natural flora Too bad if you had a bad hair day or pimple on the day of posing that image is permanently in stone my friend

Worldrsquos Largest Czech Egg in Kansas

Traditional Czech flair is on full display in Wilson Kansas with a giant six-metre-tall egg painted in honour of the Czech Republicrsquos famous eggs

captivating hordes of visitors every year There are plenty of Czechoslovakian expats in this neck of the woods part of the reason for the homage with the community of Wilson also famous for hosting an annual event in July to commemorate the central European countryrsquos wide range of arts culture and food For tourists the location of the giant egg is quite convenient as it is located close to Wilson Lake on the border of Russell County and Lincoln County an attraction home to a variety of popular hiking trails swimming beaches boat ramps and camping facilities

100 Egg Theme Park in Vietnam

Vietnam has found a way to combine relaxation and wellness with the humble egg with tourists flocking to the 100 Egg Theme Park each year to enjoy its unique mud bath facilities This sprawling attraction has special egg baths located sporadically throughout a beautifully landscaped nature reserve where warm purifying mud is piped into the egg-shaped huts so that people can chill out and absorb the area in pristine privacy The park located in the tourist coastal city hub of Nha Trang is also home to a myriad of pools fountains and nature walks so be prepared to crack your stressed shell and rest over easy

Pysanka Museum in UkraineAmong the countless admirers of the decorated Easter

Eggs of the Ukraine known as pysanka we are willing to wager very few have ever envisioned stepping foot inside one But thatrsquos exactly what visitors can do at the Pysanka Museum in Kolomyia with the central structure taking the form of a massive easter egg which houses more than 10000 pysankas The attractively designed eggs are typically decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs such as polka dots stripes flowers and fruit motifs using a wax-resist method In August 2007 the museum was officially recognised as a landmark of modern Ukraine and over time has become home to decorated eggs from other countries as well such as Belarus Poland Romania and the United States

The Faberge Museum in Russia

A highlight of this St Petersburg museumrsquos amazing collection of lost Russian valuables is the nine Imperial Easter eggs created by jewellery firm House of Faberge specifically for the last two Russian Tsars Part of a highly exclusive collection with most historians believing only 69 were made the uniquely crafted jewel-encrusted eggs were originally gifted to Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers created under the personal supervision of famed Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergeacute ndash sure beats a Cadbury Cregraveme egg The museum also houses famous artworks as well as monuments of silver bronze and porcelain

Top Faberge eggs were Easter gifts from Russian rulers to their wives and mothers

Left Over 10000 eggs are exhibited in this museum in the Ukraine copyAMartiniouk

CyprusCyprus enjoys an egg hunt as much as the next country but do you know what else Cyprus likes Lighting fires ndash especially in school- or church-yards The fires are made up of scrap wood typically gathered by young boys who scour their neighbourhoods for it Sooner or later the police or fire department is called to rein in boys fighting over scraps of wood or to put out an uncontrollable fire Just in case this didnrsquot sound like enough fun it is also customary for a small doll representing Judas Iscariot to be burnt

HungaryThe day following Easter or Locsolo Hetfo is where itrsquos at in Hungary The day also known in English as lsquoWatering Mondayrsquo will see men visit families with girls and women to sprinkle on them water perfume or a combination of them both in exchange for an Easter egg Because a Paschal egg is rarely enough to fill up a Hungarian families will also consume Easter ham coloured boiled eggs and horseradish sauce on Easter Sunday morning as well as the Pascha speciality sargaturo literally ldquoyellow curd cheeserdquo

Four thingsEgg-cellent easter traditions from around the world

Hungarian Paschal eggs

FlorenceThe unique custom of the Scoppio del carro or ldquoexplosion of the cartrdquo is observed on Easter Sunday The event sees the nine-metre-tall cart which has been used for more than 500 years packed full of fireworks and other pyrotechnics before it is moved from the Porta al Prato to the Piazza del Duomo by a team of white oxen supported by 150 soldiers and musicians in 15th century dress Meanwhile a fire is struck using the historic flints from Jerusalem at Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli which is then carried in procession to the cathedral square by clerics city officials and members of the noble Florentine Pazzi family before it is lit Did we mention the cart is fitted with a mechanical dove

BermudaDespite its tiny size Bermuda has enough Easter tradition for any nation Historically famous for growing and exporting the Easter lily perhaps the most notable tradition on Resurrection Sunday is the flying of kites to symbolise Jesusrsquo ascent although these are not any kites Bermuda kites are instead made using traditional geometric designs are noted for their colour The practice is an art form as much as a recreational tool and are constructed by kids from flat sticks arrayed like spokes of a wheel with a nail at the axis Oh in addition to hot cross buns and Easter eggs they also eat fish cakes

Keep your cruising dream alive

Easter Island is an intriguing destination and one visited by few cruise ships due to the lack of harbour and often problematic weather Most ships that bring visitors to the island transfer them by tender and only around 30 of the ships manage to successfully visit

The island is one of the most isolated in the world and is located 2300km west of Chilersquos coast For those that are lucky enough to make it to the island there is a fascinating history to explore which is as interesting as

it is mysterious The local people Rapa Nui have been isolated from the rest of the world and developed a distinctive culture But when they arrived on the island and why their civilisation eventually collapsed are unclear

One of the most distinctive features of Easter Island is the huge moai statues carved from volcanic stone and on average 4m tall and weighing 14 tonnes which were moved to specific places around the island

Here are some cruises which have Easter Island on their itineraries
