Switching category hierarchy order WordPress

• SOLVED

So I've got content that is related both to countries and to topics.

Currently I have a countries custom taxonomy and topics as categories and permalinks set to

/%category%/%postname%/

So, for example, browsing site.com/beaches gives me a list of all beaches in all countries and browsing site.com/hotels gives me a list of all hotels in all countries.

What I would like to happen is that browsing site.com/beaches/italy gives me a list of all beaches in Italy and browsing site.com/hotels/germany gives me a list of all hotels in Germany.

<em><strong>In additon</strong></em> I would like browsing site.com/italy to gives me a list of all beaches <em><strong>AND</strong></em> all hotels (and other topic) in Italy. Of course, I'd also like browsing site.com/italy/hotels to give me just Italian hotels.....:)

Clearly I don't want to have all topics as children of all countries or all countries as children of all topics.

It feels like there should be some way to rewrite, but I'm not sure of the best approach.

I'm after ideas or - better still - a full blown solution!

Thanks

John
