Lalibela Things To Do
Lalibela: Arogi Bethlehem Arogi Bethlehem by sachara
From the Bet Gabriel-Rafael our guide showed us a tunnel to reach the so-called Arogi Bethlehem, a bakery for making the holy bread. It's apity the bakery is not in use anymore. The Arogi Bethlehem has round forms and is easily recognizable between all the churches. If you have clausstrophobia or can't bend deeply enough, the guide can show you also another way to reach the Arogi Bethelehem. [read more]
Turmi Off the Beaten Path
Turmi: Dimeka, goatmarket Dimeka, goatmarket by sachara
There were no goats and other animals for sale at the market in the centre of Dimeka. Somebody told us which road we had to take to that part of the market out of the village. It is not far, only a few 100 Ms, they told us. At the edge of the village with a great view at the surrounding landscape and mountains we saw a large tree. In the shade of this tree we saw the goats for sale. This trade of goats is the business for the men. [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."



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.
