Traversing the intercontinental Isthmus:: Tikal: An Ancient Maya City
http://centralamerica2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/tikal-ancient-maya-city.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Tikal: An Ancient Maya City. Located deep in the Guatemalan rainforest and spread over nearly 500 square kilometers, Tikal is an impressive sight to see. It used to be one of the main Maya city states, with a population of over 100,000. Today, only a small portion has been excavated with the majority of the complex still consisting of green, tree-covered mounds. However, Maya construction stops a long way short of what the Cambodian did in Angkor Wat. The Grand Plaza was no exc...

From Sea to Sea ...: July 2010
http://viathesevenseas.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Re-evaluation of the Polish train system. Posted by Kasia Koltunska. From Augustow the plan was to catch a night train to Malbork, spend a few hours there and then continue by another 6.5 hour train to Szczecin. This journey has proved to be a little nightmare of its own. Posted by Kasia Koltunska. The catch was that aside for the sleeping bag and the rented tent, I had no other camping gear. This meant that the nights were spent on the very hard and often quite cold floor and ...

Round midnight we started heading home and although the sky had darkened and the buildings were all beautifully lit up, the horizon remained pale, the darkness not quite complete. Everyone has the right to die, but this is not an obligation. Everyone has the right to be undistinguished and unknown. On April 1st, the bri...

Traversing the intercontinental Isthmus:: Bikinis with Legs: Yet Another Random Theft
http://centralamerica2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/bikinis-with-legs-yet-another-random.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. Bikinis with Legs: Yet Another Random Theft. I guess generally when you think of bikinis you also think of legs – nice long straight legs protruding from them. Yet that is not what I’m referring to here. Instead I think that the bikini bottoms grew legs and walked away while illuminating their path with my favorite headlamp. Our transfer included a night’s stay at Posada el Zapote and that’s where we were brought to. Only two were occupied so we got to pick from the other 8. Well,...

Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Posted by Kasia Koltunska. The catch was that aside for the sleeping bag and the rented tent, I had no other camping gear. This meant that the nights were spent on the very hard and often quite cold floor and food had to comprise of sandwiches since I had no pots or pans to cook anything else. But this in no way affected the enjoyment level of the trip. 0 comments: on "Kayaking in Rospuda". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Interactive Map by iMapBuilder.

When in Budapest, our hostel attendants could not stop raving about how beautiful Eger was; that it has an amazing old town as well as a castle that manage to hold off the Turks that is still standing, etc. Maybe the weather had something to do with it as well. It was a bit rainy, quit windy and slightly chilly. This all resulted...But t...

From Sea to Sea ...: Puszcza Bialowieska: Poland’s highly acclaimed wild forest

That was a couple meters in circumference. We were shown one that had fallen over 12 years ago and whose roots still created a round disk in the air, and a dab that had toppled in 1975 and was slowly rotting away. Oh, and I must not forget the one dead mole and one dead frog that I saw. But before I end my review ephesus tours. Very m...

From Sea to Sea ...: Budapest
http://viathesevenseas.blogspot.com/2010/06/budapest.html
Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Posted by Kasia Koltunska. Our second day in Budapest started with an informative walking tour where we found out that:. Average government wages in Hungary are 500 Euro per month. This would also be the wage for a government doctor. Income tax is 50%. Tax evasion has become Hungary’s national sport. The Hungarian Parliament was build to resemble the British one, but purposefully made 1 meter longer. 0 comments: on "Budapest". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I know how the w...
