San Carlos de Bariloche Things To Do | |
 | Splendid views by TheWanderingCamel Whether you're following the Circuit Chico out of Bariloche or not, a visit to the top of Cerro Camapanario (Belltower Hill) should be on your list of Things to Do whist you're here in Argentina's Lake District. Situated right beside the lake, just 17 km west of Bariloche, at just over 1000 metres, this may not be the highest peak around, but access is easy - there's a chair lift or a trail you can hike up- and the views all around are...

Macquarie Island Things To Do | |
 | Interact with a penguin! by tiabunna The eco-tourism rule is that tourists must not approach closer than 5 metres to wildlife. But nobody has told the penguins, which don't understand metres in any case! Adult penguins have no land-based predators to fear (seabirds can be a problem for chicks). So their natural curiousity takes over. Just stay still and they'll come right up and investigate you. [read more] |

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.

NATIONAL HOLIDAYS: September National Holidays: Sept. 6 – Swaziland; Sept. 7 – Brazil; Sept. 8 - Andorra, Macedonia; Sept. 9 - Korea (North), Tajikistan; Sept. 10 - Guinea-Bissau; Sept. 15 - El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua; Sept. 16 - Mexico, Papua New Guinea; Sept. 18 – Chile; Sept. 19 - St. Kitts and Nevis; Sept. 21 -Armenia, Belize, Malta; Sept. 22 – Mali; Sept. 23 – Saudi Arabia; Sept. 30 - Botswana
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.
