Another day in Paradise, Maldives
Another day in Paradise. Roxy Maldives (formerly Zitahli Resort) is one of only two resorts in this entire atoll of islands.

Empty white sand beaches, coral reefs, a natural lagoon and azure water that beckons one for a swim are all part of the attraction of a stay here. Oh, and … [Read more...]

Hanging out on the Nile
Spent the afternoon swimming and sailing languidly on the Nile River along its western bank just up river from Luxor. Fellucas (wooden boats with one large sail and no boom) dot the shoreline on both sides of the river in Felluca.

We ended up at 30 Egyptian pounds for a several hour sailboat ride after the price … [Read more...]

All day and night we would laid there, in our non-air conditioned hostel, with no fans, waiting for that … [Read more...]
