Pulau Libaran Things To Do
Pulau Libaran: Mangrove Forest Mangrove Forest by sim1
The boat brings us back to the mainland to visit a Mangrove Forest. Here we tour around in some of the canals to this special type of forest, which is fascinating to see. The trees that grow here are mangrove trees. There are about 34 different species of trees that are together called mangroves. They share their name because of their same ability to withstand the tough conditions in these shore areas. They can grow in salt water and root in... [read more]
Pulau Semakau Things To Do
Pulau Semakau: Birding at Pulau Semakau Birding at Pulau Semakau by bpacker
Birding is another activity that you can do in Pulau Semakau. The remoteness of this place somehow attracts a rich diversity of rare birds that can't be seen on the mainland. So if you're hear on a birding trip, bring a pair of binoculars with you. The one that is given free on National Day does not count as one. Do check out my off the beaten page to see what birds can be seen. Cost Non-refundable $25 fee for boat and administration. Do note... [read more]

There’s a new baby boy in our midst. And thanks to Sue_Stone for filling us in because we hadn’t heard anything about this exciting event. Sue reports that, “lovely Italian VT'er Fra.da. recently had a baby boy called Lorenzo.”

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.
