Travelling Tonito’s Adventures in the Sahara
What takes someone from South Africa to London to Abu Dhabi to Tripoli? As Tony Fernandes describes it: “six years of relative dullness”. Well, things are no longer dull and it’s all due to “Istanbul and some Gypsies”. Throw in some turtles, interesting taxi drivers and you have yourself an adventure (or two or more).

Mile Torch Festival
For the people in Mile Torch Festival was kind of routinely ritual one was obliged to walk the street with fire I guessed. So everyone brought a rod of rattanalmost 2 meters long roaming the street with fire held high but once the heat got too hot while the fireline descend their torch would laid low like a tail trail behind finally it would be abandoned by the roadside as there was no wa
Qiubei look around
Quibei was famous for its karst landforms and Puzhehei lived the reputation. The last time I had been inside the site was 11 years ago and the village was almost deserted but now...the Puzhehei village had been expanded and many guesthouses spouted provided better accommodation. It would be a nice place to hang out only not on any holiday or festival time. Now you could see all those funfair
Wenshan transit
Wenshan offered reasonable cheap accommodation and in good value compared with in Qiubei. But not much you could do in town except climbed up the 800 steps long staircase to the Wenbita pagoda from there you got a superb view of the whole city. I visited Hongdian and Binglie market both were dominated by the Yi people with their unique headdress full of embroidery and silver studs colorful cost
Shanghai World Expo 2010 Visit Day 1
We visit Zone C on the first day. The temperature was a record 40.7 deg C so we decided to visited pavilioins that do not require queuing as the heat was too much esp for the children. Thus we only managed to visit the Caribbean Community Joint Pavilion Africa and Netherlands Pavilions.Still the children enjoyed the visit very much identifying those countries they know and going to the differen
Scenic Tours Jewels of Europe 4
Rudesheim am RheinWe docked at Rudesheim and took a little train up to Siegfried's Mechanisches Musikkabinett a mechanical instrument museum in a 16th century house. The floor tiles of the chapel were 15th century. There we saw and heard some amazing mechanical music machines a whole orchestra in a box. It must take a lot of time to tune the instruments especially the piano with 6 or 8
Ashokas Edicts and the Shanti Stupa
The monsoons have arrived and cooled things down and on this particular Saturday they had abated and the sun shining and I thought time to get out for a short little adventure. I chose the Dhauli Hill 8 klms from Bhubaneswar where I am living. It is a hill with vast open space adjoining it and has major Edicts of Ashoka engraved on a mass of rock by the side of the road leading to the sum
Lake Havasu and The Grand Canyon
Went to McDonalds for breakfast and then drove to Lake Havasu which was only a slight detour and as London Bridge was there we thought we would go and see it. It was a beautiful area lovely blue lake palm trees and golden sand...you get the picture. Walked along the edge of the lake to the bridge and back again and then spent an hour cooling off in the lake as the temperature was 44oC. Drove to

India Tigers Taj Mahal and Tikka Masala
We flew into Delhi and got picked up and taken to our hotel and first reaction this is the worst traffic we have ever seen It was absolute chaos with cows everywhere but we made it in one bit to Hotel Perfect. Maybe not perfect but definitely nowhere near the worst we have ever stayed The hotel was located by a road full of shops and market stalls so we had a wander around and had our first In

CELTA COURSE WEEK 3
CELTA week 3. I guess this has been the most challenging week so far with so much going on that all I could think about at the end of each day was 'Will I ever get my 8 hours of sleep' That's just because the average sleeping hours have decreased to around 6.5hnight and I honestly cannot function well if I'm sleepdeprived. And to quote Hema one of the fellow trainees we should not only wo
Day 1 Philadelphia to Denver
We started our journey early this morning at the airport in Philadelphia. Flight was great and arrived on time in Denver. Our first venture was to Sheplers in Denver so that Drew could check out some western wear there. He has a thing for belt buckles and found 3 there that he liked along with a new cowboy hat. From there we headed toward Estes Park and on the way we stopped in Boulder. There

CUSCO DAY 3Saturday August 14thToday was going to be another down day except for our Inca Trail briefing at 7pm. We woke up pretty early as usual and I finally got a good night's sleep but then lazed around the room for a while before going to breakfast.

Washington DC Friday Saturday
On Friday we caught the Amtrak express train from New York to Washington DC. The train was a very comfortable way to travel and the guy announcing information on the train was hilarious. He was probably over 60 years old but he spoke like a 20 year old American DJ.As was New York Washington DC is very different than we expected.On Friday we checked into our very comfortable Hotel and then set of
East Lansing MI
Made a brief detour on my way to the east coast to visit another poker player I know from twoplustwo. Not really sure what to write here as we pretty much just played poker solidly for 3 days including one 12 hour session at the local Indian Casino. Either way I got on really great with Josh and it was nice to have unlimited computer access for a couple of days to catch up on things like this bl
