Costa Rica at its finest – the water was actually this blue! To get to this little lagoon, you had to simply walk down 500 steps. That’s fine – what is not fine is the way back up, at least not with 90% humidity and 35 degrees Celcius! One couldn’t even go for a swim to cool down…
I am hunting for stairs like these for years! I have never managed to find some – either the building was closed, the stairs were closed off, I couldn’t find them, or whatever – but in Cologne, Germany, I managed to find a couple that have that beautiful twisted look.
While shipping across the Nile in Egypt, little boats would pull up alongside our boat. Note, that our boat was around 8 meters high – those boats … were not. So they would pull up, pull out anything from headscarves to carpets, ask (screamingly) if anyone is interested – and if they even slightly assume that you or anyone else that’s looking is interested, they’d pack the object in a plastic bag, seal it, and literally throw it up onto the deck of our boat. You are then expected to remove the item from the bag, place the money in the bag, and throw the bag back down.

Looks super chill, doesn’t it! This was the last day-stop during an Austria trip – the so-called ‘Heiterwanger See’. We stopped among a couple of campers that were gathered in a tent to stay warm and apparently enjoy some (many) drinks – besides that, there was simply nothing but simple quiet. Phill
