... by huge groups of barracuda swimming round and round us. Kris and I looked at each other at one point both surrounded by gleaming silver fish that had a yellow shimmer that were darting inches from our faces. Kris saw a Morray eel lying on a rock looking ...

... and was told that most were scooter related. Burning on the exhaust, falling off while riding drunk etc. Anyway, I stayed at Silver Sands Resort on the main beach, Sairee.  It’s really beautiful.  In the evening all the beach bars put ...

... Coffee, then out to boats for the early morning game ride in boats. More kingfishers, giant egrets, macaques, proboscis monkeys and silver leaf monkeys. Back for breakfast, and out at 10am for game walk along track to river. See liana vines that hold ...

... and Dippin Dots had obviously taken their toll as the combined weight of us three was not permitted! Oh the shame. There is always a silver lining - we were going to have to go two at a time so it meant SOMEONE was going to get to go twice. That ...

... drive to the Valley of Fire state park, about an hour out of Las Vegas. We picked up the car, a chunky beast resplendent in silver, threw down some sushi and headed out on the freeway, aided by our satnav system. It doesn't take long for the illusion of ...

... plotter. The only concern is if I would be able to find any diesel, I keep a good outlook for any houses or even a holiday resort. Huge gray rocks in the distance with some palms around look almost like a roof of a building and next to it are a few huts ...

... . The bells had a great sound too, carried all over the city it seemed. I enjoyed practicing a little Spanish with the silver shopkeepers, though I haven't really learned it well enough to survive on my own among those who don't speak a word of ...

... some tidbits, but what an expensive cocktail it was! We took part in a fishing expedition on our final night at the resort. It wasn't a very productive experience, but we did experience the magic of star gazing on the roof of the dhoni, feeling the ...

... a bonus. But rest assured, its a safe place out here. Bye for now x The Yasawas Manta Ray Island and Resort We had a great old time here, the accomodation though sparce was a pleasant double room bure with a small balcony and ...

... days for 10 days in a row....eugh. And to top it all off as a 'greenie' stewardess, I spent it all in the laundry! The silver lining however, is that although there are no windows in the laundry, because it is at the back of the boat (the aft!) and is ...

... decision to layover at Deep Bay when the wind became too strong to make additional headway, and they did likewise.  The silver lining to this unplanned stop was that we discovered Deep Bay to be a really beautiful anchorage with a lovely ...

... snorkeled to shore. They said the snorkeling was amazing along the walls of Monkey Point -- one swam through a very dense school of silver fish. Sometimes, it was so dense, one could not see the bottom for all the fish. Pelicans were diving and catching ...

(For Raphaella, welcome to the world)..... ........ "Where'a you frahm? "Tchermany, Holland, Oshtraylia?" The shiny silver suits speak. Boned black wingtip shoes. Starched white shirts casually open-necked, framing well-shaven jaws beneath neatly ...

... quick tour of a woodcarving shop, and then a browse through a jewelry store. We were told that you could buy excellent quality silver jewelry in Bali and thought it might be a cool memento, so Made took us to a jewelry store that he recommended. Now ...

... . Most of the time since I last wrote was spent on the small island of Itambura, on Lake Bunyoni in Uganda. There is a hideaway "resort" (I'm hesitant to use such language due to the images it conjures in the western mind. But for Africa, on my budget, it ...

... work and school, seeing what I see, anxious and excited to discover what the day has in store.  I walked into a silver shop which I read displays authentic Norwegian costumes.  Of course, the costumes were on hiatus now, but a worker happily ...

... well.     When they serve the main course, each plate is put in front of each diner at the table with a silver dome covering the plate. Then, as many waiters as it takes  (2 diners per waiter) each hold the handle on top ...
