Caraíva Transportation
Caraíva: From bus to dugout canoe From bus to dugout canoe by mircaskirca
Once you are in Porto Seguro you have to take a ferry to Arraial d'Ajuda. There are hourly buses from the ferry dock to Trancoso. Two buses depart daily from Trancoso to Caraiva, early morning and early afternoon, and the journey takes two hours. The road is very bad and when it rains a lot it may become impassable. The bus stops on the river bank. Small dugout canoes transfer passengers across to the village. [read more]
Krokowa Off the Beaten Path
Krokowa: Lubiatowo - another beach Lubiatowo - another beach by evaanna
Eager to explore as much of this part of the Baltic coast as we could, we drove even further west of Krokowa to see what Lubiatowo looked like. But, no matter how hard we looked we couldn't see a village there. Just a few summer cottages dispersed in the dwarf pinewood, uninhabited off season.

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.
