Virtual Tourist

Like most of you here I love travelling and don't want to wait too long before the next time it is time to take off. While I'm waiting VT is a perfect place. I am happy to share my travellexperiences with you and enjoy reading about places where I have been, places I'm going to or for me unknown places. The more I read, the more inspired I get to visit almost every corner of the globe.

Travels

For five holidays I travelled in the Middle East and countries around. I love this region and would very much like to go back, but I felt I needed to go somewhere else for a change and went to Venezuela and Colombia for two holidays. I love those countries as well! Now I can't make up my mind about where to go next year, maybe to El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua or to Panama and Ecuador or to Tunisia, Libya and Egypt or to Indonesia. Well, it is a hard decision, but I still have some time.

What is so good about traveling?

Almost everything I would say. Waiting at busstations and watching people go by, the journey itself and the arrival to a new place. To see historical monuments and beautiful views. Meet people and learn about other cultures. Get new friends, taste different food ...

Some travell quotations

The world is a book and those who do not travell read only a page. / St Augustine

... all any of us need is a very light suitcase. /Oswald Wynd

If you come to a fork in the road, take it. /Yogi Berra

The journey not the arrival matters. /T.S. Eliot

Better far off to leave half the ruins and nine-tenths of the churches unseen and to see well the rest; to see them not once, but again and often again; to watch them, to learn them, to live with them, to love them, till they have become a part of life and life's recollections. /Augustus Hare

Don't panic. /Douglas Adams

... I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. /R.L. Stevenson

A boarder is always a temptation. /Larry McMurtry

The journey of thousand miles begins with one step. /Lao Tzu

 Tesekkurler, Malena (just so we could both brush up on our Turkish!). Love the opening photo - makes me want to run to the nearest beach!

 Thank you Malena. I love your pictures. Look so beautiful. Did you have a good summer?

 Hi Malena, Thanks for visiting my Cartagena pages. It's a beautiful city! Next time you'll have to visit the Monastery. I see that we're both Syria fans too! Stephen
