The Raja Ampat West Papua Province





The Raja Ampat, or "Four Kings," archipelago encompasses more than 9.8 million acres of land and sea off the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s West Papua Province. Located in the Coral Triangle, the heart of the world’s coral reef biodiversity, the seas around Raja Ampat possibly hold the richest variety of species in the world.

Four large islands of Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati, and Misool, plus hundreds of smaller islands area known as the Bird’s Head functional seascape, which also contains Cenderawasih Bay, the largest marine national park in Indonesia.

Located off the northwest tip of Bird’s Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands and encompasses more than 9.8 million acres (40,000 km²) of land and sea.

If you want to get married Dani country you have to have the pigs to do it. Usually a wife costs around 4-6 pigs depending on the size of the pigs and the quality of the woman. Now, 4-6 pigs isn't cheap, but the good news is if your lucky enough to have acquired many pigs, you can buy many wives! If you're a woman, uh...well, you can't really buy a husband. It just doesn't work that way.

This might sound like a loveless sort of affair, and we pondered about the relationships between husband and wife over in the grass hut villages and could only decide that life was way too different to make a comparison. But on the third day of our trek a short interaction with a passing group of men gave us a little insight. After some obligatory greetings and handshakes they began explaining where they were coming from and why. This group of men had gone to the village of Sikosimo on behalf of their friend/relative where one of his wives had run off to. She was living with another man! Total love triangle. So the group of men we were talking to, who were all holding axes or machetes, had gone to Sikosimo to demand a payment of 6 pigs in retribution for the pigs their friend/relative had paid to marry the woman. Sounds more or less fair...Right? Our guide John, however, didn't think that they'd get the full allotment of six pigs. He figured there would have to be some negotiation. But what if negotiations fail, we asked. "Well then, the villages will fight."

Australia is fantastic




arbados in the Caribbean is one of the most popular islands in the West Indies. The main attractions over there are the magnificent beaches where some of the most popular celebrities like Cameron Diaz go to crash out and top up on their tan. The community over there is really nice and they also speak English (luckily). When you are over there you can swim with endangered wild turtles and dolphins. You can also hire out lots of different boats for the day. In the evenings you can walk down to the beach and have a disco and barbecue. The other Caribbean islands such as Hawaii and St Lucia are just as fun!! In Barbados you can swim with rare sea creatures in a catamaran expedition.
Australia is fantastic for the beaches and lots of people go that far for them. When you are over there it very barely rains and if you feel you want to do a little more than top up on your tan, then you can explore the wonderful wildlife and rainforests. There are lots of villas to rent out. You can book a touring holiday with some of the big companies such as "Barwell Leisure" and go into Sydney which is more inland.

beautiful afrika




One of the best beaches on the Cape Peninsula, Boulders Beach, is located a few kilometres to the south of Simon’s Town. Here small, secluded coves with white sandy beaches and calm, safe, warm, shallow waters are interspersed between huge rounded boulders of Cape granite that form low cliffs and small caves. There has been a colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach since 1985. There is no record of the birds having lived here prior to that date, so their decision to settle in an area already well-utilized by humans is remarkable. There are only three penguin populations on the mainland in southern Africa. (The others are on islands).
Ceres is a town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It was named after the Roman goddess Ceres and has around 40,000 inhabitants. The name is fitting, as the valley in which the town is situated is extremely fertile and is a major producer of South Africa’s deciduous fruit. It is the administrative centre of the Witzenberg Local Municipality. It is situated in the Warmbokkeveld (Afrikaans: “warm antelope field”) Valley about 170 km north-east of Cape Town, which is climatically warmer than the surrounding highlands, which is known as the Kouebokkeveld (“cold antelope field”).
