Namib-Naukluft Park Off the Beaten Path
Namib-Naukluft Park: Discover Hiden Vlei Discover Hiden Vlei by Waxbag
Okay, this place is already off the beaten bath, so how to get off even further? Well Hidden Vlei is comparable to the more famous Dead Vlei, and even though it is a little easier to get to, there tends to be no one visiting. This place is a dead end to the Tsauchab River and is covered in white cracked earth and a few dead trees. It is located 2kms from Sossuvlei and is easily excessible on foot. You don't need a 4x4 like you do to get to... [read more]

Douz: The man on horseback The man on horseback by barryg23
During our camel trek we were joined by a man on a horse who travelled with us for a short time and then, after we stopped, asked us if we wanted to have our picture taken on his horse. He was obviously only after money and as we were here to ride on camels, not horses, we refused. So off he went to try his luck with other tourists. I've no idea how much he will ask you for but it's probably best to avoid this kind of thing. [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.
