Wow! I think I'd cut off my right arm to do that. My dream was always to swim with Dolphins. I did that. Now I dream of doing this. Thanks for sharing with us.

an experience to remember! Wow, what a great experience. That little cub is sooooo cute! Seems like you had a fantastic time with the gorillas and truly something to remember forever! Stay well and happy travels, Donna and Neil x
Oh Peter, I am jealous. I was in Uganda in '99 but it was a really terrible time then. Some tourists had just been killed at Bwindi and I decided against going. Thank you for sharing this blog.
gorillas in Uganda Well, you guys certainly cover a lot of ground! I would love to see the gorillas too. Rumi and I just went white water rafting down the New River in West Virginia last summer, but rafting down the Nile is certainly a completely different experience that sounds awesome. Your Maldives blog was really cool too. You are sure to like Tikal and Belize....going to Tikal 21 Deciembre 2012 would sure be an experience (lots of crazy people). Well good luck in your continued travels..we will keep watching for your posts. take care, Justin and Rumi
No need to Compare Hello, i think we cannot compare the two!! But for rafting at the Nile is such a great activity..there is an option for Bungee Jumping in this very area as well, which was better for me anyway.
That's the Bent Pyramid The unnamed pyramid you photographed at Dahshur is the Bent Pyramid, named for how the angle changes halfway up. Didn't you go any closer or weren't you allowed? It's even more impressive up close, and still has part of its limestone cover. As for the no lights inside the Red Pyramid, there definitely used to be lights in there, sounds like they got rid of them so they could rent torches to tourists.
lucky people hi stumbled across your blog when looking on my friends travels must have clicked a wrong button but decided to have a little read looks an amazing island, and a great v day or week! certainly looks like your getting to see the world happy adventures claire.

hi peter and mari Been "off" for a while. Guess i am taking a leave from moderator duties, at least till May. It is only now that I am able to check TB and found ur blog. What a wonderful way to spend Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year. Your "survival kit" reminds me of my own, whenever i travel with family esp the kids. Packed noodles, chips and cookies, for sure!
Thanks for sharing. Btw, i can't seem to access your photos on pages 3 through 5. Each time I click, I get directed to the list of blogs on Maldives.
respond to anonymous comment In my world, people have the guts to sign their comments. It's quite sad to see that some people love to comment without this ability to sign their message. I don't judge, but that I'm aware of there is not that many place where you can see the big cats in the wild. Kanchanaburi is for sure controversial. I'm not sure what to think of the place after being there. But for sure also some of those who signed comments like the one I've just received are not better.
what is natural nature ? tigers chained up and called nature ? im somewhat disgusted by it really. these big cats are being used as toys for the pretend wild life types who are too pathetic to go out and travel where the big cats live.
Hi Lili! Well, in India terms it could look pricy...but the best room, in the best hotel...is still less than what you pay for the Shang in Makati...not cheap, but not a bad treat...you know me, I'm after deals or I don't do it...
lovely hotel, lovely place My, you guys really make fascinating discoveries , don't you? first time i have read about this place, or about this hotel. looks lovely. must be pricey too. but if you say it is worth a stopover, i'd listen.....and save.
Nice blog, peter.
Giving the game away? I was accused of this by some diving friends too ;) looks like a great spot - plenty of macro and some of the bigger critters too - good luck to Leslie with the OW!
This blog is just short of 10 years old. We have now move to South Africa.
Why South Africa? Simple, great wine, great food, great golf and even more amazing diving! I will for once continue to blog from time to time about home. After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires.
Come to visit....there is so much to do here! ... full info
