Province of Bohol Things To Do | |
 | Loboc Church & Museum by bike_packer Built in the 17th century near the riverbanks of Loboc River, Loboc Church is the 2nd oldest in Bohol (of course, Baclayon Church is the oldest) with San Pedro Apostol as its patron saint. The walls made of coral stones, the church building has its belfry erected separately about 50m away across the main road. The Museo de Loboc in one of the floors of the convent houses well-preserved artifacts and old statues of saints that has been... [read more] |
Trondheim Things To Do | |
 | Beautiful warehouses in Old Trondheim by bpacker Liz and I saw an impressive line-up of colourful warehouses which dates back to the 18th century. It was so lovely since each house was painted in a cheerful colour. Now this was the moment we could click our cameras away. Photo Note: Personally I found this "little bryggen" more pictureresque than the famous ones found in Bergen. There were no obstructions to photography and the river lends a nice mirror-like calm to the whole scenary. I was... [read more] |

Losses in our Community
Reporting sadness and grief is always so difficult in the most hurtful of ways; however, caring about and supporting one another is what our community is really all about. In that vain, I sadly report the loss of two of our members and the passing of one of our member’s wife.
~~ Members FruitLover and Mirjana51 sadly notified us of the sudden passing of their dear friend, Mirianamak from Macedonia. Mirjana was very active in VT and was looking forward to the upcoming VirtualTourist World Meet in Israel, having helped FruitLover with the planning. Her death was unexpected and has left a horrible void in the hearts of all those who knew her. Her brother sent a touching letter to her friends which we are sharing below:
“Dear Friends,
Mirjana was our bridge towards the world, our angel present on all meridians spreading her maxim - Love and Peace for everyone everywhere. She carried in herself a lot of wishes and ideas for a better tomorrow for everyone, but unfortunately she did not succeed to realize all of them. Her heart, in which there was a place for everyone, did not sustain.
With immense sorrow and pain about the enormous and irreparable loss, we inform you that Mirjana unexpectedly passed away on 10.09.2008 at 12.30, leaving us the task to continue her path called Love and Peace for everyone everywhere.” Kiril Risteski
Mirianamak - Member since May 01, 2005 – May you rest in peace.
~~ Britannia2 lost his wife of 22 years in late August. Because she was wheelchair bound, it has given Colin an extra sensitivity to the needs of the disabled traveler; and therefore, he will continue putting disabled access tips within his pages to help like travelers. As Colin says, “Remember - we are all potential wheelchair users.”
~~ Member Leonpics from Lebbeke, BE recently succumbed to one of present days dreaded diseases, a brain tumor. Our hearts go out to his friends and family.
Our condolences go out to all those who knew and loved these beautiful people.
First across the Finish Line
Yes, The VT Team of Adventurers, ant1606, frankcanfly, JohnSakura, and Laurel914,
were first across the finish line.
And how was the VT team received?
“Our VT Team was the highlight of the entire Caucasian Challenge race. Clown car and sparkling VT team made a real blast of it. We dragged clouds of people everywhere we stopped and the interaction with locals was fantastic all the way! The whole thing was an overall success, " describes ant1606.
