We had 'Happy Feet' swimming with penguins

Advantages: A unique interaction with penguins in the wild
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

W e spent a wonderful afternoon at Boulder?s Bay which is on the coast just a short drive from the Cape of Good Hope and a reasonable drive from Cape Town. We went there as we hoped to see some African penguins. We followed signs for penguins and parked our car and then followed more signs for penguins until we reached a kiosk. We paid 35R per person to enter the area and off we went along the first board walk. We were so thrilled to see three penguins resting on some rocks and spent some minutes taking photos before we moved on. As we rounded the corner they were everywhere. I have never seen so many penguins just chilling, lying, standing, and drying their wings, kissing and nest digging. We took so many photos I think we almost filled our memory card. They were absolutely beautiful and so not bothered by all the tourists walking along ...

Review of Boulders Bay Colony of African Penguins

Old Scott is still good.

Advantages: Solid Frame, Excellent Gears, Durable, Value for money
Disadvantages: Small pedals and seat, V form brakes (not endurable)

Scott Boulders is an MTB (stands for Mountain Bike) from Scott, limited, the leading resource of the best MTB in the world. Even if the Scott boulders is a 1999's production, it's very notable for the solid metallic frame and life longevity. The Boulder comes in two different bend of colors; a burst of dark grey, blue, silver, white and a little bit of red, and the second where the blue is replaced with silver for a sleeker chrome look. The triangular uni-sex frame is used, the front fork is shock k-absorbing, while the seat tube is left without shock absorber. The handlebars are the Scott Strike Comp 1 P.G low-rise 600mm; Solid. The set width makes handling easy. The frame is the Scott Bi-Axial Alloy 7005 Liteflite D.B. Scott Disc D/out. One thing, I like about it is that the frame allows to ride more comfortably ...

Review of Scott Boulder

---25 million people without water---

Advantages: incredible human achievement
Disadvantages: its drying up!

Since the first white settlers crossed the great American Desert 150 years ago, the Colorado River has witnessed great change. Situated in South West USA, the Colorado is America?s twenty-sixth largest river stretching 1500 kilometres long from its source in the Rockies to the Gulf of California. It is unique in environs, being the only river to stretch from one side of the American Desert to the other. In 1928, during the New Deal period in the USA as a last resort to counter the Great Depression, people started looking into huge public work schemes in order to pump prime the economy. In 1931, they decided to dam the Colorado River, at a place called Boulder Dam. This was a huge logistical exercise drawing in thousands of unemployed people from all across America and housing them near the construction site. It paid off fortunately ...
