Though everyone was very friendly here, and the founder himself was the presenter, this was one of the more disappointing tours I've been on...
I found on my trip that taking a cooking class was not only a great way to learn how to cook a region's cuisine, it could also be a great way to meet other travelers, find out from the teachers what the best restaurants are to visit in town, and sometimes have a meal that's even better than at any restaurant...
Milford Sound is one of those "must do" sights of New Zealand, featuring prominently in every tourist advertisement about the country...
Franz Josef Glacier: I'd heard of this on the first stop of my RTW trip in Buenos Aires, from a British couple who had just come from New Zealand. So I'd always had this place in the back of my mind, as a future stop on my trip...
I signed up for one at the Sydney Seafood School, part of the Sydney Fish Market...
There are a few restaurants in Luang Prabang that offer cooking classes, and I just signed up for the one at Tamnak Lao...
Just finished up a 6-day tour through northern Laos visiting local villages of different ethnic groups. This has really been the experience you read about in magazine travel articles or guidebooks, but never seem to get yourself...
The one activity I planned for Chiang Mai, besides seeing the temples in the city center (which took all of 3 hours), was a cooking class. I chose Baan Thai Cookery School, and signed up for a full-day course...
I decided to spend one of my days on a kayak trip around Angthong National Marine Park, with Blue Stars Kayaking...
I like the idea of learning something new in my different ports of call (like Spanish in Buenos Aires), so I decided to sign up for 2 half-day cooking classes with Cooking Alaturka...
Top of the "other" cool animals category is the chameleon, one of my favorite animals in the world because it's so cute!
There were so many different kinds of birds in Kruger, too, and our rangers Steve and Phil were so quick to spot them and identify them for us...
Unfortunately my group didn't get to see all of the Big 5, the name given to the animals most dangerous to hunt on foot: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino. But we did get to see 3 of the Big 5...
I'd never been on a safari before, but as I understand it, a lot of them have a similar schedule as the one I took with Transfrontiers Walking Safaris. First we got woken up by one of our rangers early in the morning, 5am every day...
This is no Brazilian favela. It's interesting how a lot of cities now offer tours of their shantytowns, and I thought the Soweto (South West Township) of Johannesburg would compare to Rocinha in Rio.
