Marsaxlokk Shopping | |
 | The fish market by Diana75 Being considered the most popular fishing village and with most of Malta's fish supplies caught by local fishermen, it is obviously that a fish market couldn't miss in Marsaxlokk. Every Sunday there is a fish market where tourists can buy fresh fish caught by local fishermen: swordfish, tuna and the popular "lampuki". On weekdays, the catch is taken to the fish-market in Valletta, but on Sundays fish is sold in Marsaxlokk's fish market. [read more] |
Kenya Transportation | |
 | Local transport in the north by sachara On the road from Moyale at the border with Ethiopia to Marsabit and Samburu National Reserve we hardly saw any local transport. There must be some buses on this route. In one of the few small villages along the track we saw this open truck. In many countries in Africa people travel at the top of open trucks.

22 DAYS - and COUNTING - to the start of the race!!!
The race across the Caucasus Mountains is drawing near. Have you checked it out -Caucasian Challenge? 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 is interviewing participants. So if you want to throw your hat into the ring, get your name on the list ASAP! Or, if you’re anywhere in the vicinity, you could cheer our group on 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.
Charity starts at Home – in the UK
Yes, a couple of our charitable UK VT members, Deus_Ultima, from Northwich, Cheshire, and Kierk1, from Portstewart, Northern Ireland, both donate their time as Little League coaches. And now, due to their friendship on VT, are bringing their two teams together for a week of competition in Portstewart. August 5 through the 9th are the dates and will be particularly exciting since this will be the first time out of England for some of these Year 7 through Year 9 Cheshire students. Besides the travel being a life changing experience, the generosity of Kierk1’s team in donating equipment is the really special aspect of this wonderful event.
Thanks guys for being such a great example for a your groups of youngsters
Another tragedy hits one of our members
Death is inevitable; however, when the natural order of life changes its course, it makes the pain even greater. Member 6HARRYJAMESSR recently lost his beloved 31 year old son, Nathan. Nathan who is pictured and honored on his father’s pages, was proud of his Navajo heritage and culture and was adept in the American Indian Pow-wow Fancy Dance. He leaves behind a beautiful 11 year old daughter, Jayden.
We’re so sorry for your loss, Harry. Our thoughts are with you and your family. VT
