Travel Digest

@narchuk takes us diving near Dahab, Egypt. There is a small underwater walk called the Blue Hall. After diving through the - so called - chimney, a cave passage straight down for 27 meters, you'll end up along the wall of the reef. Here you'll find various coral formations. Diving on you'll end up in a stunning underwater cave with the sunlight piercing through the ceiling, it creates quite the magical effect in the water. From here we take a closer look at the reef and the abundance of life found in it. While the places can get quite crowded, the beauty of the area can not be denied!

@daveonarrival takes us to Lombok, Indonesia. On his last day there, he decides to go beach hunting. So he sets out on his rented scooter through the beautiful landscape. He ends up at Selong Belanak, a rather large beach, and strangely all the people are huddled up on one part of the beach, leaving the other part blissfully deserted! After going surfing and enjoying some great beach time, he goes back to where he parked his scooter, only to discover it is no longer there! The horror is real. After spending multiple hours in different police offices, he gets lucky as they have found back his bike. The locks had been broken open, and with no insurance offered by the rental companies, you don't have much of a choice than to pay for the repairs.

@yourmate takes us to the Da Nang and the My Son Temples in Vietnam. The Hindu temple complex of My Son is older than the more famous Angkor Wat in Cambodia, but unfortunately parts of it were destroyed during the Vietnam War. Restorations are being done now though! From here on we go to the Marble Mountains, which holds stunning natural caves, filled with religious statues. On top of the mountain, you'll get an incredible view of Da Nang. From here on we drive the stunning Hai Van Pass to Hue, with one beautiful view after another lined right up!
