Hello, i would like to spend 3 or 4 days in Dakhla in August for kitesurfing. The problem is that apparently the only way to reach Dakhla is by plane. Is it possible to go by land?
Does anybody know if it is worth going or should i go to Essaouira which is closer for the same purpose?
Hello from Havana,
According to Renasys, the broadband analysis company, the high-speed fiber optic cable continues to be activated bit by bit. Maybe one day I won't have to use this crappy slow expensive dial-up connection any more.

I'm planning to do the Across Zanskar trek this September, from Lamayuru to Darcha. Although I'm planning on bringing a tent, I'd like to avoid bringing a stove and cooking gear.
I've read that there are tea huts scattered throughout the trail, but I'm not exactly sure what these huts will have with them or what they will consist of. Can I expect to find food at these huts? Or should I plan to bring most of my food with me?
I'm not a picky eater, I'd just prefer not to go hungry along the trail.
Thanks so much for any help!

I am a 67-year-old retiree. I am considering retiring in Portugal beginning with a 2 or 3 month stay before I make a decision.
On a rental basis, I am looking for a residence for healthy retirees who do not need medical care. It might also just be a regular serviced apartment.
I am quite open as to the region although I would rather stay away from blazing summers as well as cold and damp winters.
Should you have any idea, please let me know.
I am an Acupuncturist and I am looking for somebody, who could bring some packages of Acupuncture-needles back to Europe for me. I brought a lot more of them with me in my flight-baggage, when I went to Nepal, but now, when I tried to send some of them back by cargo, unfortunately, cargo-customs was picky about them, so I am already back, but the Needles are stuck in Kathmandu. )=
However, it should not be a problem if you take them with you.
I guess they are around 3kg.
I would offer something like a yummy homebaked cake on arrival, or you can wish for something...
It would be so great if that worked!!!
We spent 2 months, mid January to mid March, earlier this year travelling in New Zealand. We flew in and out of Auckland and hired an adapted Toyota Estima hatchback car, not a Motorhome or Campervan, more a camper-car. We spent a month on each island. I kept a travel blog during that time which is still available on-line. If anyone would like to take a look at it please PM me. Warning - it does go on a bit, more of a diary/journal! Or I could just send you a copy of our conclusions and thoughts about what we did and how we did it. Please bear in mind that we are 70s and not into bungy jumping, white water rafting etc.

I flew Air Canada Montreal to Holguin and did four resorts and one B & B. Resorts were Melia Rio De Oro both Royal service and main resort - Brisas Guardavalaca - Marea Del Portillo . All resorts provided very good value for the price paid.
There are two mega resorts being designed for the Guardavalaca area - they will have condos for sale - delux five star resorts and golf courses. There is a similar project also being built in Varadero..
Just before I got to the Marea resort the Cuban Minister of Tourism and guests toured the area. I was told there will be an expansion of this resort and the airport runway in Manzanillo will have an expanded runway.
House prices in Cuba are in decline due to many Cubans leaving to work in other countries..
Currently the Cuban government is changing their foreign investment act to encourage more investment from countries / companies that are... more »

I want to take the sleeper train from Singapore to KL. I understand that getting on at JB will make it much cheaper so I am willing to do that. But how can I buy tickets before I get to JB Sentral? The KTM website has a bug and trains for next Tue. won't show up. I asked a Singaporean friend but she just told me that no one she knows ever takes the train to Malaysia. Thanks in advance.
