Sunny Beach, Solnecnij bereg, Slanchev bryag – so many names for this wonderful spot on coastline of Bulgaria’s Black Sea. We were prepared to see unfinished construction of pre-crisis apartment houses. What we discovered was pleasant surprise – nice beaches, lively promenades, great wine, excellent food and on top of that – really good prices. … Continue reading Sunny Beach of Bulgaria – enjoy!
Ever since the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski wrote about the courtship and marriage ritual of Trobriand Islanders in the 1920s, in books such as “The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia”, these islands have been visited by people interested in the unique cultural expressions of the islanders and the opportunity to see life relatively unchanged … Continue reading Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea
The best attraction is Scuba-Doo 260 km from coast in Nordic territories – less affected by pollution.
Live volcanoes, lava walks, rainforests…
The valley is located in the Nā Pali Coast State Park and houses the beautiful Kalalau Beach. The Nā Pali Coast is very rugged and is inaccessible to automobiles. The only legal ways to access the valley are by kayak or by hiking the Kalalau Trail.
Great looking coral atoll with a volcanic island in its midst
Hola, hola, hola! What could be better than weekend in Costa Brava after the tiring hike in the Pyrenees?

Egypt, Sharm-el-Sheikh. Little bargaining with captain of the boat and we are in Red Sea. Our target is Tiran islands – one of best snorkeling and diving destinations..
This is the airport of Simferopol where our seven-day adventure in post-Soviet Crimea began. The old – good buildings of sanatoriums were waiting of us. Certainly we could not afford to live in Hotel Yalta, but spending the night under the bridge was something we also did not want (text ” we rent an appartment” … Continue reading 6 hiking routes in Crimea mountains
There was spring in the Berlin, when we arrived. Some interesting people went into the Easy Jet plane – three youth and a girl, all with traveling haversacks. In the next morning, when I took a seat in the plane to the Olbia, mystically again emerged that interesting foursome. Almost like in the Matrix movie. … Continue reading Sardinia: adventures of Adventurist team during Adventure Camp Sardegna – MOVIE
Kopš mūsu iepriekšējās vulkānu pieredzes – seškilometrīgā El Misti vulkāna Peru, bija pagājuši jau veseli seši mēneši. Sāka jau pietrūkt tuksnešaino un pēc sēra smirdošo kalnu .. tomēr, kad virs mākoņiem iznira Teides perfekti piramidālā smaile, jutāmies atkal savā elementā. Tenerifes sala, ko virs okeāna izcēlis Teides vulkāns, no putna lidojuma izskatījās pelēka … Continue reading Canary Islands: Volcano Teide and La Gomera
Ēģipte ir tik dažāda. Te, Sarkanās jūras krastos, tā aug nenormālā ātrumā. Kamēr zemes cenas vēl tikai kāpj, daudzu aizjūras ieguldītāju nauda tiek iesēta šajā tuksnešainajā zemē. Desmitiem kilometru garumā no cietā māla izspraukušies spocīgi ar betonu pielietas armatūras asni. Nekur neredz nevienu strādnieku, liekas, investori mudīgi iezīmē savu teritoriju ar pamatiem vai … Continue reading Egypt: Red Sea near Hurghada and below sea level
Iepriekšējo dienu lielo pārbraucienu nogurdināti, ieslēgušies ar visām mūsu durvīs paredzētajām atslēgām, grasījāmies ieslīgt veselīgā bērna miegā. Taču… kas tev deva! Dar es Salaam jau piecos rītā atgādināja, ka gandrīz 90% no šīs miljonu pilsētas iedzīvotājiem ir musulmaņi. Nespēdami atteikt mullas kaismīgajam aicinājumam, izgājām ielās. Mums bija jānoskaidro, no kurienes kursē prāmji uz Zanzibāras salu … Continue reading Dar es Salaam – Zanzibar – Stone Town – Indian Ocean
Šīsziemas gadsimta vētra atklājusi Vidzemes krastā brīnumu, kas līdz šim bijis paslēpts zem piekrastes kāpām. Visdažādāko nokrāsu smilšakmens un māls nu veido kilometru garu klinšu sienu – tik pirmatnēju un vēl tik trauslu. Apbrīnas vērtu. Apbrīnojiet tās! Saudzējiet tās!
uz Sahāru! Augusta sākumā nolaižamies Āfrikā. Apkārt viss tik zaļš, ka sākam bažīties, vai neesam sajaukuši kontinentus. Mums jānotrāpa tajā laukumiņā starp asajiem niedru lietussargiem. Dažiem no tiem ir uztīti pamatīgi pīķi, kas tā vien sagaida kārtējo kontinenta viesi. Vai nevajag palmu? Nē, nē, paldies, pašlaik vēl ne. Bet ļoti lēta un labas … Continue reading Sahara: seaside, Atlas mountains, Medina, El Jem, on the way…
Tieši uz Neatkarības dienu – 4. jūliju, bijām veiksmīgi tikuši laukā no Josemītu aizām. TĀ diena mūs gluži negaidīti pārsteidza Kalifornijas vīna paradīzē – Napas ielejā. Ar lielu tautas staigāšanu un salūtiem. Tiesa, gaisā virmoja baumas, ka uguņošanu kuplināt gatavojas arī Bin Ladens, taču vīna laukos prom no lielajām pilsētām mēs jutāmies salīdzinoši droši. … Continue reading Hwy-1: California First road – 400 picturesque miles by Pacific ocean
