It only cost me 10 US Dollars and we went out to sea and saw some amazing fish in the waters. I saw some sea Urchings which you cannot touch as they sting and i also saw lots of cute tiger fish, puffer fish and also starfish plus many more colourful fishes and beautiful coral. I really wish i had of taken an underwater camera though because it was so beautiful to see the... [read more] |
Macquarie Island Warnings or Dangers | |
 | Elephant Seals can be large and cranky! by tiabunna A bull elephant seal can grow to over 3 tonnes weight and length of 5 metres. That's a lot of animal! Bull elephant seals express their displeasure by rearing up and crashing down on/into their adversaries. Don't let that be you, because they have the size to nail you into the ground! They are at their crankiest during the breeding season in the spring (August to December). Normally they won't attack people unless you wander too close, when... [read more] |

Kissimmee, Florida – What do you think?
This month, we’ve got a new ad partner - the Kissimmee, Florida Convention and Visitors Bureau who is showing off some of their area travel activities on our Kissimmee Top 10 page. My brother lives in Florida, and I’ve visited a bunch of times, but I’ve never been to Kissimmee, so I’m wondering from VT’ers who know the place, what I should expect to see and do if I visit. I started a Forum post to see what you guys thought. If you’ve got some comments, I’d love to hear them. – Thanks, Giampiero
We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

AND THEY'RE OFF!!
The VT Team of Adventurers, ant1606, frankcanfly, JohnSakura, Laurel914, have been on their route of discovery and challenges for 6 full days now. If you have any spottings, be sure to give us a shout out in the Miscellaneous Forum The Caucasian Challenge. And if you get a picture of the team as it passes by, we’ll send you a special VT gift.
If you haven't read up on this wild adventure across the Caucasus Mountains, go to CaucasianChallenge. It’s an exciting and whacky race starting in Budapest, Hungary on August 30 and concluding September 15 in Yerevan, Armenia. The team representing VirtualTourist will be handing out special picture cards as they meet members, and potential members, along the way. So, if you’re anywhere in the vicinity, please cheer on our group as it crosses eleven countries on its way to the finish line. We hope the new team carries on the tradition set by the victors of the Autorickshaw Challenge of 2008 led by our own General Manager, Giampiero Ambrosi.
The Caucasian Challenge and Autorickshaw Challenge is sponsored by the same charitable organization.
