Crystal Caves, Bermuda – April 2016
This is one of Bermuda's top attractions...and for good reason. Many caves have large stalactites and stalagmites (Crystal Caves certainly has their fair share of these) but what sets this cave apart are the delicate long and narrow crystal tube like formations that glitter in the light. The cave was discovered in 1905 by two young teenagers who lost their cricket ball in a "hole in the ground". One of the kids was lowered into the hole on the … [Read more...]
Notes from Basecamp Ortelius, Drake’s Passage
Upon boarding the Basecamp Ortelius in anticipation of our Antarctica cruise (the ice breaker ship we will be on for the next 13 days) I immediately noticed a few of the staff wearing shorts. Remarking to one of them that it is awfully cold for that kind of apparel, they quickly replied with, "if you think it is cold now, just wait until we get to Antarctica!" Nonetheless, the wind was bone chilling as we pulled out of lovely Ushuaia - the … [Read more...]

Sometimes The Unscripted Tour is the most Memorable
We disembarked the Holland America Line, MS euroDam and I caught a whiff of some crew chatter about some sort of strike on the island. I didn't think much of this at the time. Soon we were driving through the "Dutch" countryside and a few minutes later we were driving through the "French" countryside. The island of St. Martin is a divided territory between the Dutch and the French - on the French side the Euro is used and the Dutch still use (at … [Read more...]

Nature Tour of Bangkok? You’ve Got to be Kidding, Right?!
When I first signed up for the Follow Me Siam Sawan 'Jungle Tour' I cursorily glanced at the itinerary and assumed this would be an urban jungle tour - especially since their office is located in Sathorn, right in Bangkok's Financial District. I also assumed it would be a sweaty tour with rivulets of water running off of us after just a few minutes in the saddle and also traffic would be terrible (a Monday morning). Unbelievably neither of … [Read more...]
