Viloyati Mukhtori Kuhistoni Badakhshon: The best yoghurt on Earth ! The best yoghurt on Earth ! by Trekki
If you like dairy products, you and your stomach will be in heaven when travelling through the Pamirs ! The eastern part of the Pamirs, the one, where you will mostly encounter plateaulike grassy landscapes in the valleys between the high peaks, is where Kyrgyz nomads are herding their livestock, mostly yaks and sheep. Usually, it’s some families which live in several yurts (like the one in my intro page) and all together they are taking care... [read more]

Krynica Morska: Fishing port on the Vistula Bay at Piaski Fishing port on the Vistula Bay at Piaski by evaanna
The fishing port on the Vistula Bay at Piaski is much more elaborate than the one on the open sea, which is probably due to the fact that fishing in the bay is safer. What looks in the picture like wigwams are poles used for stretching the fishing nets, drying in the sun. Looking across the water, you can see Frombork with its characteristic towers in the distance. The port is a nice place to visit as it offers access to the bay, otherwise... [read more]

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.

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.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the community news archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
