Eleuthera in the blue!



Eleuthera is the name of one of the 700 islands that make up the archipelago of the Bahamas. Eleuthera, as a feeling of freedom even if this island is often reduced to the almost obligatory stop function to access its glamorous little satellite, Harbour Island. If Harbour Island is lovely beyond description since all features of pretty little houses with colorful wooden carefully maintained but especially sumptuous pink sand beaches that stretch for miles, it is primarily an island essentially chic tourist vocation. We are not talking about mass tourism, far from it! But a tourist who enjoys the atmosphere of beautiful villas of stars who took refuge here out of sight, a tourist who walks on foot or by golf carts and who enjoys fishing or outputs sea, and quality restaurants in the evening.

 Do not get me wrong, I'll gladly attractions in Harbour Island, and I spent a few days to just enjoy the place, eyes fixed on the ocean blue sapphire, thinking: "I do not move, I anchor here ... ". So far from me the desire to turn from Harbour Island! Being incapable of sinking voluptuously in contemplation over a period of more than twenty-four hours, I confess a slight preference for having its big sister, the less talked about and yet... Eleuthera offers more opportunities to the curious traveler, over different ranges, more varied landscapes. Agricultural was done successfully in the past (Queen Pineapple export across the Atlantic Ocean), Eleuthera still maintains some scented plantations in season; pineapple sweet fragrant small grocery stores that sell homemade pies. Let them who has never tasted one of these versions caramelized pineapple pastries cast the first stone ... Eleuthera you rent a small car to navigate the single "big" road that crosses the island from north to south along the 180km long that form a hook between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. In its widest point the island does not exceed 2km, what you offer some beautiful walks.

 I've already shown its extreme south of beauty, which has the merit of hosting what I believe to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, at the foot of Lighthouse. On this road to the north, you will necessarily stop over Glass Window Bridge, ill-named. It is not a bridge of glass or a transparent bridge, but a bridge thrown between two purely functional pieces of cliff to connect the north and south of Eleuthera. The bridge itself is of no interest and should even be renovated in the coming years, but I know that you like me to stop, taking care to park your car a hundred meters after the bridge. Stay on the bridge will not allow you to have the most beautiful view, so do not resist the urge to climb the cliff side to overlook the Atlantic Ocean in less than ten meters and have the rare privilege on earth to admire a glance two complementary colors as ultramarine lens of the Atlantic and the milky turquoise Caribbean Sea, separated by rock. Gorgeous! Be careful anyway, and windy day refrain from climbing on the cliff. I suggested that waves sometimes overwhelm the bridge, others have already reached the top of the cliff to the surprise of simpletons who failed to leave more than a camera ...

 Do not worry these conditions storm are rare in the Bahamas, little chance for you to be present that day. So enjoy the view, then back down the side of the hotel Cocodimama for a drink or swim in a shallow lagoon and relax on one of the most beautiful beaches Bahamas. Eleuthera, is one of my favorite islands in the Bahamas. For colors, to perfumes, to the tranquility; and is also reflected in conversations with Bahamians here who is leading their life rocked by the music of the waves on the white sand.

The most beautiful islands in the world



When you travel a bit much, especially passionately, you are often asked: "What is the most beautiful beach in the world of your choice?”Or" what is the best diving in the world to do? ", Or" what is the most romantic place in the world? ". Of course, each of us will have to give an answer, an answer very personal, very subjective. So after trying to establish with you the winners of my most beautiful beaches in the world, I will try to tell you what I think are the most beautiful islands in the world, and why. I tried to find out how many islands in the world, but in vain. States are already struggling to agree on the number of countries, or rather independent states according to the foreign policy of each, then count on the islands should first decide what an island just a rock in the sea sufficient or should we also sand or earth and therefore potentially nourishing soil?

 By doing some research and considering that Australia is a continent rather than an island, they all agree that England is the largest island in Europe, the largest island Madagascar in Africa, Greenland the largest island in America (it depends geologically American plate), New Guinea, the largest island in Asia, and finally the South Island of New Zealand, the largest island of Oceania. The largest island in the world is Greenland. Halaveli Island is one of the most beautiful islands of the Maldives. To have surveyed a number of them, and have sailed in the waters of many islands, I think I can say that it is impossible to count. And even? ... For only main archipelagos I know, the Seychelles alone account for 45 115 islands, granite, Maldives 1200 islands and islets, the Bahamas 700 islands and 2000 islets, and 17,500 magical islands of Indonesia! If you want to learn more about the islands in the world, I invite you to draw randomly from the list of islands published on the World Atlas of the islands is far from being comprehensive but perhaps you'll enjoy to enumerate at least the ones you already know. Because the islands are the most beautiful fantasies of man’s evasion and travel, do speak we not of "Island in the Sun" or "island at the end of the world"? Or to abandon everything; to go away on a desert island? All are synonymous Grail, and often inaccessible.

So how to develop a ranking of the most beautiful islands in the world where some are only uninhabited when others choke under buildings or tourism? Here is my ranking very personal, I probably will modify over the years and trips to come. In 2012 alone I revisited three of the most beautiful archipelagos in the world: Seychelles, Maldives, Bahamas. So you cannot name a single island tops the list as my eyes and my heart photographer reluctant traveler between these three islands, but when it becomes too difficult I quote rather the entire archipelago specifying one or two favorite islands.

Cambodia’s fascinating capital Phnom Penh The country's capital, Phnom Penh is subjected to a rapid increase in population, which is due to an increasing rural exodus.

Particularly fascinating are the countless markets where you can buy typical food. Anyone who dares to try the deep fried crickets, spiders or beetles and larvae can try it here. Angkor Wat is definitely the most important tourist haven in Cambodia. It is the largest temple with great temple area, which has been built between 850 and 1200.

Travel Destination Singapore



Singapore Island is a state city which is very neat and clean, like a little Switzerland of South East Asia. It got independence in 1965, out of the straitjacket English, the country was new values like economic development, safety, cleanliness, materialism. Its motto could be: work, family, prosperity. In short, it is not idle. Moreover, multiculturalism and religious tolerance are to be credited to its regime conscious social cohesion. Compared to Malaysia, where even the capital saw a pace (almost) serene, Singapore is always eager to save time on time. The city-state will be an example for the region: it hosts both the jet-set that business, but now seeks to offer a new face cultural this time; through large investments and acquisitions policy to be the envy of major museums.

 In Singapore, you will deliver both national pastimes: shopping and eating! Then you discover what remains of its old, typical and lively, you wander in Orchard Road for shopping understand what the (luxury), you take the sea air on the side of the Marina, savor a few sips of Tiger in a festive atmosphere along the quays, and finally you wander in floral and animal parks, real quality attractions. Finally, since it comes to attractions, if Singapore is your single destination, finish Sentosa Island, a large open park with beautiful beaches, and of wildest nature.

Lombok Unexploited Nature!


 Lombok is an island that becomes much more popular than her sister Bali islands. It can be reached by ferry within one and half hours and half an hour by plane for the Mataram international airport which was opened in recent years. Lombok is something different from other islands of Asian. The nature is not yet disfigured my mass tourism and the local population still welcomes the visitors with the smile and even some of them extend cordial relationship with the tourists. Lombok is otherwise called as “Island of Spices”. The island is large roughly more than 4500 square kilometers. More or less two to three million inhabitants are there. Lombok is the part of the administrative province of East Nusa Tenggara Barat, a region which includes the two main islands of Lombok and Sumbawa and many other smaller islands and islets around them.

Tourism on Lombok has not yet reached one million visitors and the government has launched a development to achieve a target of 2 million tourists before 2015. This developmental plan has an immediate repercussion of having inaugurated the new international airport which allows easier connections with Europe and Australia limiting stops (via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta but for the moment other airlines are beginning to take an interest in this destination) and widening of roads or creating the clean water discharge channels along roads for better quality. These beautiful brand new roads extend so far from the airport (in the center of Lombok) to Kuta (south) and from the airport to Senggigi (west coast) and above, to the north. You have to keep one car and a local guide or a local cab. It is essential if you don’t want to waste your time. He knows the roads and gives you valuable information all along the way through out. He helps you to buy the seasonal fruits on the road sides by paying the right price and show you the good little places. If you prefer autonomy you can rent a two wheeler at your own risk.
