Trondheim Things To Do
Trondheim: Kristiansten Fort Kristiansten Fort by bpacker
Cross Gamle Bybro and head uphill for a bird's eyeview of Trondheim. Along the way, you'll see a machanised gadget for cyclist to push themselves to the top. Don't be stupid and try it if you're not on a bike. You'll just have a fall just like Jack and Jill. So unless you think that head bandages are in vogue, trudge uphill for 10 minutes till you see a stone structure. It's interesting to note that this fort, constructed in 1681 to guard... [read more]
Gonder Things To Do
Gonder: Gonder, Fasilades Bath Gonder, Fasilades Bath by sachara
Fasilades bath lies just outside of town. When you enter this historical site, the first thing you see is the two storeyed tower, overlooking the rectangular pool. The pool is not the bathing pool of Fasilades, but is constructed for religious celebrations like the annual Timkat ceremony. During Timkat they fill the pool with water, so the people can jump in. The ceremony replicates the baptism of Christ in the Jordan River. The opening hours... [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.
