		<description><![CDATA[By Irene Butler Pics by Rick The Sinai Peninsula is a stunning desertscape of rugged limestone and granite mountains with substantial areas of shifting sand. This striking terrain rolls right into the turquoise waters of the Red Sea with its prized water ecology, which although we are not divers or into wind-surfing, was where we wanted to be – Dahab. Based around a Bedouin village, this town flaunts a fabulous tourist strip along the water with hotels, cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, souvenir shops, and (though we did not count) 100 diving schools. Sinai Photos/ From Jordan we crossed the Red Sea by boat (since Moses was not available). We arrived at Nuweiba on the Sinai side, where it is believed the famous parting of the waters took place, as the sea bed was found to contain chariot wheels and human bones from the army pursuing the tribe Moses led out of Egypt. We immediately felt the pulse of Egypt, as remembered from a previous trip to Cairo and down the Nile. A throng of shouting men ran past us pulling carts filled with bundled goods towards a small customs office, where they threw them onto a scanner belt. Seeing us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Irene Butler Published in TravelLady and TravelWise E-Zines Old Stone Town of Zanzibar Island with its labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways transported my partner, Rick and I back to ancient Persia; that is, until we were jarred back to the 21st century by vehicles passing with only inches to spare between their fenders and our bodies flattened against a wall. Ornate wooden doors entered crumbling buildings, patched many times during the past 150 years of their existence. Mold and mildew in the rainy season and the blazing sun of summer took turns peeling and loosening layers and chunks of stone and mortar. The interiors seem held together with innumerable coats of bright coloured glossy paint.

		<description><![CDATA[Story by Irene Butler Photos by Rick Butler Published in Travelingtales E-Zine The King of Beast&#8217;s fiery mane ruffled in the breeze as he raised his head from the carrion. With a throaty rumble and a menacing glare he warned us to keep our distance. My husband, Rick and I watched him from the 24-inch viewing space below the raised roof of the customized mini-van. We were on safari &#8211; living a dream. Having arrived in Nairobi several days ago, after booking our safari tour, we spent our time walking the streets and swirling in the sights and sounds of the city&#8217;s indefatigable rhythms.

		<description><![CDATA[THAT&#8217;S THE WAY IT IS &#8220;You must take Taqwa bus; it is the only international bus, come with me to office,&#8221; conveyed the reptilian skinned tout, Mr. Knight. My husband, Rick, and I were at the Mbeya City Terminal looking for a bus line going to Lilongwe. &#8220;What is the quality of Taqwa buses?&#8221; &#8220;Good, good. Executive class&#8221;, said clerk Pearson, with Knight&#8217;s confirming nod as he pointed to a glossy wall poster of a shiny green bus with the very word &#8220;Executive&#8221; emblazoned in gold atop the Taqwa insignia. We purchased tickets for 29,000 Tsh each ($30.50 Canadian) three days prior to our travel date. On departure day we were unexpectedly informed that Mr. Knight must transport us 8 km by mini-van to catch the bus at a farmer&#8217;s market. &#8220;The junction&#8221;, as it is known to locals, was swarming with activity. Ten-ton trucks were unloading heaps of green bananas alongside bushels of tomatoes, onions, cabbage, and hundred pound sacks of maize. A sign inside the junction office revealed this was also the office for a second international line &#8211; Tacbal. Hmmm; we humorously realized why no previous mention was made of the junction. Tacbal did not have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DON&#8217;T JEOPARDIZE YOUR ASSETS &#8220;Because you only have one-ass-to-risk. Be careful out there! You live in a high risk environment.&#8221; This slogan is emblazoned on signage at the Sharpe Edge/Sharp Shooter Store in Johannesburg, an upscale retail outlet stocked equally with culinary tools and defence paraphernalia. My husband, Rick and I never dreamed this catchphrase would impact us on such a personal level, until we were added to the aggregate of victims mugged at knife point in a South African city. Warnings by our hotel staff about the dangers of walking the streets, advising us to take a taxi even for a few blocks, congealed our decision to escape the confines of Jo&#8217;Burg (as it is known to locals) and hop a bus to the seaside resort city of Durban.More&#8230;. The turquoise Indian Ocean glistened in the mid-morning sun as we strolled along the stretch of beach hotels on Parade Marine Drive, considered a safe area. Though not overly busy, people were going about their business. Two well-dressed fellows in their mid-twenties crossed the street ending up slightly behind us. I flinched with foreboding as one man skipped in front of me, but the feeling was dismissed as he laughingly [...]]]></description>
