Landing in Paradise, St. Barths
The southern side of the island of St. Barths where the D211 highway meets the ocean again feels like a number of now built up island tourist hubs would have felt 60 years ago. A few homes are visible between the green of the vegetation and dot parts of the hillside, but that is it. There are no high rise condo's here or mass tourism.

A Visit to Kazbegi, Georgia + Badly Designed Road Tunnels
We reached a series of tunnels all above 2,000 meters. Normally these are cheerfully accepted road landscape as we know they are built to save time and also they are often a safety feature of high altitude roadways. These were anything but user friendly - first of all the road surface inside the tunnels was dangerous at times with large potholes and other ruts in the road. But that wasn't the problem - the problem was whoever designed these seems … [Read more...]
