Kenya: Samburu National Reserve, at the riverside Samburu National Reserve, at the riverside by sachara
In Samburu National Reserve we camped two times at the northbank of the Ewaso Nyiro River. The first night we stayed at the campsite near Archers Post not far from the entrance of the reserve, so we could enter early in the morning for a first game-drive. The Samburu people of the compound nearby guarded the camp. The second night we stayed at the campsite near Samburu Lodge within the Reserve. Here were a lot of monkeys stealing our bread...

West Coast General Tips
West Coast: The Love Triangle of the Tui in the Fuchsia Tree The Love Triangle of the Tui in the Fuchsia Tree by Kakapo2
Of course, you can find tui in many places in NZ. But I have found my favourite place and go there whenever I get a possibility, as we do not have tuis around Christchurch (only bellbirds).

Thanks Sue; and congratulations Francesca and Lorenzo.



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.
