Melbourne River Cruises

Filed Under my travel log, photos

Last Anzac Day April 25, we went to the City of Melbourne and go for River Cruise. It was awesome and I love all the beautiful nature scene with the one hour river cruising. Yarra River is lovely and everyone will enjoy if they will try it. What I did was taking advantage and take pictures and videos of the river while I’m on the boat.

It’s an award winning sightseeing cruise and we discover the best of what Melbourne has to offer while gently meandering our way through this river city. We enjoy a complimentary coffee and relax asthe captains detail the history of the Yarra and Melbourne.

Sahara Sand Dunes

Filed Under photohunt

sahara-oasis.jpg

timimoun.jpg

It’s hard to find but easy to love. Sahara sand dunes stretch to the horizon at this oasis town of red clay, where visitors can ride camels with Tuareg nomads and sleep on dunes under the stars.
Timimoun should be easy to get, but it isn’t.
It offers few comforts after a long, arduous journey. But those few tourists who make it here value its remoteness.
“Only a few tourists are here compared to Morocco - which is very good.
Locals are less appreciative of their region’s “undiscovered” cachet. They want more hotels and better transport links.
Algeria receives just 1.4 million visitors a year while Tunisia and Morocco each welcome six million.
The lack of travellers is testimony to Algeria’s long neglect of tourism, making it one of the world’s undiscovered gems.
Algeria offers magnificent Roman and Islamic sites - an hour’s flight from Europe, yet villages such as Timimoun lie undisturbed.
“It is the most beautiful desert in the world. People are said to be very warm and the music is great.
The problem there is infrastructure. But, if you are there it is not for luxury.”
Algeria does not lack the means. It earns $1.5 billion a week from oil and gas sales and for years has proclaimed its intention to develop tourist infrastructure. So far though, the intentions have not been turned into infrastructure.

Petronas Twin Tower

Filed Under photohunt

The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia are the world’s tallest twin buildings from 1998 to 2004 . The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia’s Muslim religion. They were built on the site of Kuala Lumpur’s race track. Because of the depth of the bedrock, the buildings were built on the world’s deepest foundations. The 120-meter foundations were built by Bachy Soletanche, and required massive amounts of concrete. For more information visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronas_Twin_Towers.

Boracay Vacation-Yr-2000

Filed Under Philippines, my travel log

I always remember Boracay. The loveliest place i’ve ever been so far. I am looking forward when I can go back to that perfect place. White sand, amazing sunset and sunshine.
One of the best beaches in the world. Here you can move around just in your sandals or barefooted. The main beach is unbelievable. It’s nice an amazing feeling to every first time traveller. One you outrigger the boat near the island, you will begin to feel the excitement especially when you hear everyone exclaiming “ohhs” and “ahs” you will also said wow!. Wonderful water turns from blue-green to crystal clear and when the glorious sight of a long stretch of white sand beach becomes nearer and closer. Truly unbelievable and amazing. How many islands in the world can have a beach that is four glorious kilometers long with white sand that is so fine that it has the consistency of powder? How many beaches would have such a gradual depth throughout that even 50 meters away from shore, the depth is only about three feet or waist high? The action in Boracay is along the main beach. You can swim, sunbathe (nude if you wish :D), sail, parasail, jet ski, take a long walk which is best during sunrise, or simply watch a parade of people of all sizes, shapes, nationalities, age and fashion pass before your eyes while holding a cold bottle of beer or an oversized fruitshake. And the acton doesn’t dip with the sunsets rather, it enters to another phase. Boracay nightlife makes it to the top of the list as the country’s “party island” with a wide assortment of bars to choose from ranging from a simple round bar wrapped around a coconut tree to bars that dish out the latest techno music and on some occasions.
Here on this spread are snopshots of our Boracay vacation last year 2000.

Mt. Fuji

Filed Under Tokyo, beauty spot

mt-fuji.jpg

It is said that on a clear day, one can see Mt. Fuji from central Tokyo. And yet one can feel Mt. Fuji’s omnipresence even from the remotest parts of Japan.

Mt. Fuji is worshipped and immortalized in songs and poetry, In art, it is the most drawn mountain in the world. Mt. Fuji can cast a spell with its beauty and symmetry. Changing colors with the time of day and with the seasons. In winter, it is pure white. In summer, it turns bluish with a white crown of snow. And during every sunset, it glows red in a darkening horizon.

Fuji appears over the peak-turn the corner for a better viewpoint and she is gone. A few minutes later, there she is gain in full glory. It is easy to understand why ancients have attributed Mt. Fuji with mystical powers-for it seems that the mountain has a will of its own. Or is she merely being coy?

Kawayan Cove

Filed Under Philippines, tourists spot

Design is a key!

This is the Kawayan Cove in the south in Nasugbu Batangas, Philippines. I witnessed the beauty of the seaside community and I was amazed with this country’s natural assets.

A favorite weekend dive spot, Batangas enjoys a regular traffic of water-loving tourists. It’s long coastline is dotted with dive shops, exclusive beach resorts, and beautiful private homes, so its but natural to combine the plush amenities of a resort and individual homes, all within a gated seaside community. At Kawayan Cove, a two-hour drive from Metro Manila, country club aminities push seaside living a new level luxury. The development, spread over a 68-hectares lot, includes 300 lots–ranging from 500 to 2,000 square meters–a 650 stretch of fine, a white sand called Bamboo Beach, and walking trails thay provide the perfect opportunity for meditative solo strolls.

Kawayan Cove has opted to promote a sense of community by building a clubhouse where residents may converge if and when they so pleased. It includes a viewing deck for sunsets over the South China Sea, and an infinity pool. The time I reached and saw the place I said to myself “how I wish I could own a resort to this place that looks like a paradise”.
