Guerlesquin Things To Do
Guerlesquin: Prison seigneurale Prison seigneurale by Mikebond
The prison seigneurale was the prison of the Lords of Guerlesquin. It was built around 1640 by Vincent du Parc de Kerret, a Lord of the village. It consists of a square fortress with a tower at every corner. You can visit it inside (I think it was free when I did it), where you'll see a room with a fireplace as well as two latrines. The fourth photo shows one from inside and the fifth shows the same from outside. You shouldn't have passed under... [read more]
Coonabarabran Things To Do
Coonabarabran: Belougery Spire Belougery Spire by iandsmith
Though it's commonly known as the Split Rock walk, the full title given to it these days is the Belougery Split Rock Circuit which, to my way of thinking, is a little bit of a misnomer. What you actually do is climb Split Rock but one of the things you see when you're up there is Belougery Spire. Here, it is the one on the left. Other notable features are the Breadknife (centre in shade) and Crater Bluff. Access to those is via another popular... [read more]

9 DAYS - and COUNTING - to the start of the race - and the team has been named - MEET THE VT ADVENTURERS!!!

ant1606, frankcanfly, JohnSakura, Laurel914,

By the looks of this fantastic four, we know the trip will be fun and victorious!
YEA Team!!!

If you haven't read up on this wild adventure across the Caucasus Mountains, go to Caucasian Challenge. 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, you could cheer our group on as it crosses eleven countries on its way to the finish line. If you get a picture of the team as it passes by, we’ll send you a special VT gift.

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.

Charity starts at Home – in the UK

Yes, a couple of our charitable UK VT members, Deus_Ultima, from Northwich, Cheshire, and Kierk1, from Portstewart, Northern Ireland, both donate their time as Little League coaches. And now, due to their friendship on VT, are bringing their two teams together for a week of competition in Portstewart. August 5 through the 9th are the dates and will be particularly exciting since this will be the first time out of England for some of these Year 7 through Year 9 Cheshire students. Besides the travel being a life changing experience, the generosity of Kierk1’s team in donating equipment is the really special aspect of this wonderful event.

Thanks guys for being such a great example for a your groups of youngsters


Another tragedy hits one of our members

Death is inevitable; however, when the natural order of life changes its course, it makes the pain even greater. Member 6HARRYJAMESSR recently lost his beloved 31 year old son, Nathan. Nathan who is pictured and honored on his father’s pages, was proud of his Navajo heritage and culture and was adept in the American Indian Pow-wow Fancy Dance. He leaves behind a beautiful 11 year old daughter, Jayden.

We’re so sorry for your loss, Harry. Our thoughts are with you and your family. VT
