Laguna Quilotoa Things To Do | |
 | you can get stuck in Chugchilán by richiecdisc Chugchilán is perhaps the most pleasant of the small villages on the Quilotoa Loop. There aren’t any sights per se but there are lots of hills around and the lack of an itinerary is kind of nice in its own way. You can explore the central square area in about five minutes but it somehow lends itself to lingering. On weekends a few locals set up food stands and you can buy really cheap and tasty cheese empanadas. There aren’t any cafes but you... [read more] |
Gonder Off the Beaten Path | |
 | Simien Mountains by sachara From Gonder you can reach Debark and the Simien Mountains in about 3 hours. There is a daily bus from Gonder to Debark or you can hire a taxi or even book organised treks in Gonder. The landscape of the Simien Mountains is dramatic by the several plateaus, separated by wide valleys. Some peaks rise above the 4.000 M. The steep escarpments and the views at the pinnacles in the park are breathtaking. The National Park of 179 sq KM lies at an... [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.
