Just a smidgen before sunrise in the Borneo rainforest when a gray mist still veiled the chocolate-colored Kinabatangan River, the macaques and proboscis monkeys started dropping down from the trees in search of breakfast. From our motorboat on the water, we kept an eye out for movement among the leaves. The monkeys often traveled in packs, so many times when we'd see one swinging down to the river's edge, the rest of the group — either bachelors … [Read more...]

Even in a region as beautiful as the Caribbean, Antigua stands out for its variety of beaches. Locals say there are 365 beaches, so you may swim and sunbathe at a different beach everyday for an entire year without repetition. The quality of its water is breathtaking—crystal … [Read more...]
Unsettling
We entered a narrow lane crowded with shoppers, shopkeepers, motorcycles, rickshaws and animals. Throngs of people pushed their way past us, ogling us suspiciously, much like the dead fish lying in frozen ice in one of the shops, their eyes wide open staring at us. Above us there were twisted and tangled cables and wires, like spaghetti, hanging from buildings and poles.

At the Edge of Africa : Cape Agulhas.

The countryside is deserted apart from the odd group of cattle or sheep out on the rolling yellow fields.
