Photo Highlight: Milan's Duomo

Duomo at dusk

 

Milan’s city center revolves around the duomo, the 4th largest cathedral in the world. It took almost 600 years to finish, and is built in the gothic style.  Its external finishing, with exquisitely detailed scultpures, makes you dizzy to look at up close, and from far away, kind of looks like a 3d hologram.

After failing to gorilla trek in the Congo and not being able to afford it in Uganda, I finally got to get up close and personal with our closest relative in Rwanda at Parc Volcan.

Photo Highlight: Jinja, source of the Nile

its a debatable, so-called "Start" of the nile, but its certainly one big arm of it flowing out of Lake Victoria. However, not up for debate is the magnetic attraction kayakers have to this place, seeking out the white-water rapids - some even class 6 level.

Photo Highlight: Scarborough Conservation Village

There is a tiny town nestled on the Atlantic side of Cape Point, right beside Table Mountain National Park, and its home to one of the most beautiful, dramatic beach scapes I’ve ever seen.
