Pushkar, as a city is regarded as the holiest city – no meat, no alcohol, no eggs, and no PDX and so based on the first three constraints we had a feeling we would not be hanging around Pushkar long but we had so many good things about the city too that makes people hang around for a long time too.

Lake Titicaca, located at an altitude of 12,500 feet (or 3810 meters) is surrounded by the Andes Mountains Peaks. It is in itself quite amazing to see the life adapting to the extreme condition of such high altitude, where there is freezing cold temperature, high ultraviolet radiation and oxygen-scarce air.

The departure lounge for the Dubai flight smells like fake tan and desperation. While Dubai is a shiny beacon of hope in an arrid desert the passengers are just...... well shiny. Admitting to going on holiday to Dubai is a bit like owning a Phil Collins CD or owning stone washed jeans. Shameful. But its an allure that thousands of us cannot shake.

Boa Vista somehow has escaped mass tourism development in general terms. Which is incredible since the recipe is one of great year round weather apart from the windy season when the sand becomes painful on the beach! but cheap everything (getting around on the sand long distance is difficult and can cost) and friendly welcoming locals.
The most developed island is Sal much less so is Boa Vista, which is mostly made up of sand dunes and crystal clear waters and fabulous beaches. The sand nature of the island means though its only 20 miles from North to South its hard going and takes hours. The highest point is Pico d’Estancia, at only 390m high. Sal is 3 hours away by boat so its not a short hop. Sal Rei is the main town and port but is disappointing for the tourist. You should do your research and find a good resort, get a 4x4 with GPS or guide and explore to get the most out of your holiday here. The best beach is hard to get to called Santa Monica officially Praia Curralinho its a 20 mile slog in a 4x4 but its magnificent and interestingly unique.

When I set off for Gabon on the trail of the lowland mountain Gorillas I imagined that an adventure into the heart of West Africa was no doubt reserved for a handful of intrepid nature enthusiasts. However, little did I imagine it would offer such a stunning and unforgettable experience.
Although there are three spectacular national parks in Gabon the Loango National Park, the Invindo National Park and the Lopé National Park, my three companions of adventure and I chose the latter for a specific reason; this is where we hoped to encounter the rare Lowland Gorillas.
