| This looks like a bicycle tour in the country side of Croatia. I found it attractive: kazuns (small, round shepherd shelters) along the road, the picturesque town of Tinjan with macadam roads, the ascending and descending cart-roads on the slopes of the beautiful Limska Draga valley. Hmm… so many different roads!

| A fabulous historical account on Tallinn city and this said by one not so much fond of history. It describes the picturesque edifices, the eccentric medieval-style traditional Estonian cuisine, the grueling climb up a spiraling stone staircase and the ex-KGB headquarters, all enhanced with old captivating stories that send chills down your spine.

| Cycling in Belgium and The Netherlands |

| This lady describes the wonderful biking she enjoyed along canals, crossed rivers, lakes on ferries, old-fashioned windmills and even seeing an old castle. The extent of the bike paths and bike lanes in The Netherlands (and Belgium too) is truly astounding. I was also impressed with the huge bicycle parking lots – this must be The Land of Cycling!

| Diving With Elephants |

| I can’t believe how special diving can get these days: Thailand has an underwater park to attract divers after the tsunami. That implies 3-meter elephants, real buildings, and statues. And if that’s not pleasing enough, you eventually get to explore the reef-ality – unique marine specimens for complete fun!

| New Zealand Bicycle Tour |
| Submitted by kiwi on
2006-11-13 03:22:30 (via www.wholeo.net) |
| Here is an impressive account of a bicycle tour passing by wild papayas, picking up fallen green or worm riddled mangoes, the remarkable enterprise of growing kiwi fruit and a lot of other curiosities on the way. Wow! Bicycling can truly be a lot of fun, especially in such a fabulous country like New Zealand. It really inspired me to try it.

| Diving in Okinawa |
| Submitted by kiwi on
2006-11-09 03:08:23 (via www.jahitchcock.com) |
| One of the best diving spots considered with personal service provided, incredibly soft corals and triggerfish trying to look angry and dangerous. However, the danger of this sport doesn’t come from the sea life in the ocean, but from the fellow divers who don’t take it seriously, pulling silly jokes on you.

| Caribbean Cameroonian Cuisine |
| Submitted by Adele on
2006-11-09 02:35:32 (via realtravel.com) |
| What do Cameroonians prefer to eat and what are you to expect if you happened to be invited at a dinner party while down there? But what if you are giving the party? Maybe adding some spices from another part of the world will be a delicious challenge to try, like Kkeels did? It was interesting to read her experiments and the outcome.

| Trans Mongolia Express |

| How would you feel to almost miss the famous Trans Siberian Express because of not being quite fluent in Russian? That’s what a pair of English speaking tourists had to experience before getting to Mongolia, a country of beauty and marvelous scenery. Read about their journey in a train that appeared to host more boxes than people.

| Ecuador Rainforest Adventure |
| Submitted by bindero on
2006-11-09 01:35:11 (via www.adventure-life.com) |
| The belief is if you walk the equatorial line you achieve inner balance. Nancy Pilius had the chance to do it when visiting Ecuador for its amazing wildlife. Imagine hiking through the forest and discovering tracks from tapir, deer, ocelot and other animals, and having a refreshing swim in the Cuyabeno river afterwards. That sure is inner balance!

| The "Fishing Village" |
| Submitted by roxy on
2006-11-09 01:32:00 (via www.wired2theworld.com) |
| Imagine getting to explore a village from the comfort of a… boat. It’s possible in Vietnam, where the Mekong River rises and reverses its flow back into the Tonle Sap Lake. It’s when the entire community packs up their homes and moves to higher ground, and only curious tourists remain “boat-touring”, to admire the unique views.
