 | Sample a slice of apple before you buy by tiabunna Located in the inner suburb of Kingston, the (retail) Markets are a great place to shop for fresh food.

And yes, many fruit vendors will offer you samples of their fruit. Usually less than in supermarkets. [read more] |

This was built in 1838, this was the royalty's "beach house" for vacations even into the 20th century. Inside is now a museum, with period deco and furniture, as well as portraits of many royals. Outside the museum, by the water fountain, look for a rock with a hole in it. This "Pohaku Likanaka" was used for executions. We didn't get to... [read more] |

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.”
Gone But Never Forgotten
It’s now over two years since we lost one of our beloved members, Kinga_Freespirit.
Living without her physical presence has been hurtful for so many, but her spirit and love will always be in the thoughts of those who knew her. And to always continue and further her loving spirit, Krystyna, Kinga’s mother, has created a foundation in her honor.
Please see the forum posting for more information and discussion on the foundation and how you can become part of the team of “fun-loving” volunteers. Freespirit Foundation.
Thank you Kymbanm and Raytor for bringing this to our attention.
The Happiest of Life’s Stages
What is more thrilling and elating than the birth of a baby? The beginning and happiest stage of life has come to member Museeuw and his wife, Meitje, with the birth of their beautiful son , Xinhao. November 6th was the eventful day and we, at the VirtualTourist headquarters, wish them all a big CONGRATULATIONS!
The Saddest of Life’s Stages
Nothing affects one’s heart so sadly as the death of a loved one. And member pres_16 is having to endure this pain with the loss recently of her mother. Her friend, monina_c, tells us she “thanks the VT Community for helping her cope with her loss.”
Our deepest condolences, Priscilla.
