Akosombo: The Dam and tha Volta Lake The Dam and tha Volta Lake by Alpha_Ghana
Occupying the central part of Ghana, the Volta Basin covers about 45 percent of the nation's total land surface.

Kalkan Things To Do
Kalkan: Kalkan Beach - Blue Flag Awarded Kalkan Beach - Blue Flag Awarded by ann500
Kalkan has a nice pebble beach in the harbour with sun loungers. It has been awarded a Blue Flag Award for its cleanliness.

The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the Community News Archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
