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]
Kenya Things To Do
Kenya: Maasai village, school Maasai village, school by sachara

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.
