I was inspired by a recent post on GloboTreks, River Cruising: a Different Adventurous Journey. A river cruise is a fantastic way to see a city from a new perspective. And while I was in Phalaborwa, South Africa, I discovered that they are also an excellent and different way to spot game.

Yesterday’s sign was spotted along the Olifants River in Limpopo Province. There are real, wild animals along this river. Africa ain’t for sissies.

Maho Beach is located at the very end of the runway for the island’s airport. And when I say the end of the runway, I mean the end of the runway. The only thing between the beach and the runway is a 2-lane road. This is one of the only runways in the world where beachgoers can get this close to landing and departing aircraft.
