Cuttlefish are strange creatures... Sushi lovers may be familiar with them through sashimi of squids, to which they are related. It was a relatively rare encounter, when multiple cuttlefishes could be seen, unafraid of divers. Possibly they were mating. Cuttlefish are rapidly flushing colors, which are seen as rings running from inside to outside of their bodies (10 rings a second). | |

Ribbon Reefs at Great Barrier Reef (Port Douglas/Cairns) in Australia are great. I was surprised to discover that they are not substanitally impressive or different, compared to Red Sea reefs, if you dive off the boat from Sharem-al-Sheih. | |

Kilimanjaro (see it on Google Earth) is "African Roof", the highest of the continent's three ice capped mountains. The glacier on the summit is melting and is supposed to disappear by 2020. A healthy amateur can reach the summit at 5895 meters. Two thirds of those who attempt, success. We did it in a six day climb. From Kili's slopes you can see mount Meru. | |

I don't think it is possible to communicate visually, the pictures you see, when you travel Tanzania by car. I did not managed to do this and I never have seen this on TV. You see a sea of colors on two sides of the road. Colors, colors, colors. Below is the fraction of them. | |

Safari means "Voyage" in Swahili. Thanks to nature conservation measures, Tanzania has many National Parks, with unbelievably rich nature. Almost all the photos were taken from the moving car, you don't have to sit hours in bush to wait for opportunity to take a nice picture. |
Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda are called East Africa. The political borders are colonial scars, since ethnically, linguistically and geographically, there is not significant difference between the three. Well, all you have heard about black continent is true there: poverty, AIDS, tyrants, economic stalemate. What you may have not known, is that it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, well aware of ecological preservation and extremely comfortable for a white tourist. |
Sweden is amazing. They are complete opposite of americans. No fences. No junk food. Great unspoiled nature. No need to mention female sweds :-) | |

Norway is similar to emmental cheese. Fjords are rising upto 2 km over water. Since they have biggest reserves of oil in western Europe, they have made probabbly almost 1000km of tunnels in the fjords. So between each 500 & 1000 person village you get a 10-15 km tunnel with car passsing only once a few minutes. | |

Firenzia is a butiful place. The center of the town is a no cars, walking zone. Motorcycles are not cars however and whole town is full of their noise smell of gas. Venezia is the opposite. Because of all the bridges there is no single vehicle in the town, not only cars or motorcycles, but even no bicycles. | |
![]() | Piazza Sant Marco competes is second only to London's Trafalgar square on amount of pigeons |

Lago Di Como can be called siame Lakes. It is formed, by two beutiful oval lakes connected by their tops. On the peninsula, formed by the connection of the lakes, small town Bellagio is located. In my opinion it is one of most beutifull places in Italy. | |
![]() | Around the lake there are numerous villas and gardens |
![]() | One of the biggest is villa Serbelloni |
