  INDONESIA -THE LAND OF “COLORS”

 

 

 

 Adventure looms large in this  vast and steamy archipelago ,where the best of Southeast Asia’s spicy melange simmers tantalisingly. Heady scents vivid colors,dramatic vistas and diverse culture spin and multiply to point of exhaustion,their potent brew leaving your senses reeling.Indonesia encompasses more than 17,000 islands, two third of which are in habited and richly layered with character.Indonesia’s cities are in a constant state of urban evolution, where dense populations, technology and construction live in hectic symbiosis. But most of the archipelago’s territory remains unexplored, concealing a wealth of culture and a myriad of landscapes.

PHILIPPINES “THE PEARL OF ORIENT”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

           

 There is no question that the Philippines is a little more challenging to visit than some other Southeast Asian countries.Philippines is a place of natural wonders –a string of coral-fringed islands strewn across a vast expanse of the western pacific. Fantastic landscape with long undergrounded rivers, soaring karsts (limestone tower formation) incredible caves, some pristine stands of virgin rainforest.
Philippines is a vivid tapestry that reflects its varied cultural inheritance.Filipinos themselves are among the most ebullient ,easy going and friendly people anywhere.

The Town of Oatman was named in honor of Olive Oatman, who was kidnapped as a young girl by Mojave Indians and later rescued in 1857 near the current site of the town. Oatman was served by a narrow gauge rail line between 1903 and 1905 that ran 17 miles to the Colorado.
Arizona has the longest stretch of Route 66 still maintained today and you can visit many interesting towns on the trip besides Oatman and Kingman, such as Seligman, and Williams.
Wehen you are in Oatman Take a walk down Main Street. Here you will see the local saloon, general store, stop by the old Oatman Hotel and see where Clark Gable and Carol Lombard spent their honeymoon, or see the gunfightersshoot it out.

-We have!.
We have only done a small part of “66″
There was a lot of fun and an adrenaline a specially if you do not know what is next , when you are driving without the map or running out of gas ,looking for a help on the middle of nowhere….
Be prepared to do some challenging driving on this road. In the old days, many folks would hire locals to either drive their cars for them over the Black Mountains or to get their carsOur ride down Route 66 from Kingman to Oatman was breathtaking. High and narow in the mountains stop at one of the pullovers and look out over the valley. It’s so quiet you feel like you have to whisper. Oatman itself is a “must see” experience if you have the time to drive there. river near Needles, California.
There are just a few posted images from over 1000pix taken ot this trip .

Take a look! this is very cool annual event . IT starts a Seligman ends on Topock http://www.azrt66.com/

To us, Seligman seemed to preserve the best of the fun days of Route 66. We had to get out of our car and explore Seligman on foot…….We have made some new friends………so if you are there get definitely in touch with Seligman citizens :) )
“Black Cat Bar” you cannot miss it !



checking in next day
Seligman’s a one-street town if there ever was one. The names Chino Street, Main Street, and Historic Route 66 are used interchangeably.
As We drove down Route 66, evidence of the glory days of the old road could be seen all along the main street. Motels such as the Aztec across the street from the famous Snow Cap, with its quirky tongue and cheek menu, cafes such as the Copper Cart and 66 Road Kill, and numerous Route 66 gift shops were all survivors of the Mother Road.

One of the Best Diners we have ever been! the accent of 50s.
You can find two other downtown locations on Mason and Sutter streets. A retro menu and a decor to match makes a comfortable place to dine alone or with family and friends. Music from the 50s plays in the background and the memorabilia from the era decorates the walls. Happy Days worthy meals include the LA Burger cheese………….Recomended!

I’ll be back………….

The Red Rock Canyon area is, arguably, the most beautiful area in Nevada—perhaps the southwest. Whether you are a rock climber, a hiker, a rock hound, or just appreciate the beauty of wild horses, bighorn sheep, and wild burros roaming free, this part of Nevada is just for you

Some of them run the others just watch……… :) )
