Livingstone, Zambia: The Adrenaline Capital of Africa Summary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS4O8j561cI ...The nicest people I met on this Africa trip live in Zambia. And the best part, they don't treat their tourists so blatantly like a dollar ($) sign. Hawkers selling "cheap, very cheap, free to look" souvenirs right outside your hotel does NOT exist anywhere in Livingstone, Zambia. And you can walk down the street in peace, like a normal human beings (almost like a local)....w/o having to ward off hordes of souvenir sellers clammering all over you, not giving you a moment of peace. (I absolutly dreaded going outside or walking the streets in Arusha, Tanzania and Stone Town, Zanzibar for this reason). Such a turn-off! Don't get me wrong, I loved my Kilimanjaro summiting experience. The porters/ guides were all good people. But i hated ... read more

Bwejuu, Zanzibar Island (East side) I liked the beaches on the East side of Zanzibar. Very quiet beaches...you get the whole beach to yourself. Especially good for a nice stroll in the afternoon around sunset. And the best part, these are quiet fishing villages so you really get to get a taste of local culture instead of getting swarmed by touristy traps in Stone Town. Any local fisherman will take you out to the coral reef from the beach for about $10 for 2 ppl. The reef is ok...its no Great Barrier Reef though. This video will really give you a good idea of the beach and Changu Island's Giant Tortoise Sanctuary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS4O8j561cI Changu (Prison) Island - Giant Tortoise Sanctuary and Snorkeling: The Giant Tortoises are Changuu Island's most famous inhabitants, and are to be found ... read more

Jordan - Aqaba Aqaba (Arabic: العقبة‎, Al-ʻAqabah) is a coastal town in the far south of Jordan. The town is best known today as a scuba diving/ snorkeling and beach resort. Aqaba has been an inhabited settlement since 4000 BC profiting from its strategic location at the junction of trading routes between Asia, Africa, and Europe. "We have taken Aqaba!" (you wouldn't get it if you've never seen 'Lawrence of Arabia'): During World War I, the occupying Ottoman forces were forced to withdraw from the town after a raid led by T.E. Lawrence and the Arab forces of Sharif Hussein in 1917, making the territory part of the Kingdom of Hejaz, under the rule of Prince Faisal. The capture of Aqaba helped open supply lines from Egypt up to Arab and British forces afield further north ... read more

On the road to Petra Petra is an archaeological site in Jordan. It is renowned for its rock-cut architecture. The approach through a kilometer long, cool, and gloom chasm (or Siq) a long narrow gorge whose steeply rising sides all but obliterate the sun, provides a dramatic contrast with the magic to come. Suddenly the gorge opens into a natural square dominated by Petra's most famous monument, The Treasury (El-Khazneh), whose intricately carved facade glows in the dazzling sun. Make sure to visit the Khazneh in the morning around 9am (the way the morning sun hits the building is marvelous). The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812. It was famously described as "a rose-red city half as old as time." In 1985, Petra was designated a World Heritage Site. Excavations have demonstrated that ... read more
