    Great photo selection, Peter! Of course, in your case when you add your beautiful narrative too, the photos become even more compelling. Loved going through the photos.

    Peter, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to contribute to your awesome magazine! The Vagabond Imperative is certainly going to entertain me for some time as I’m eager to read all the contributions here! I really love this idea and look forward to seeing this magazine grow. Keep up the great work!

      Yes, Richard certainly captured the vibe of this part of France. Goes to show what awaits if you step off the beaten path, even in a popular destination like France.

    This must be a truly amazing experience! Never done something like that but would love to. Swimming with dolphins is my ultimate dream.

      And such a beautiful setting. Australia is blessed with so much untamed coastline. Not surprising, though, considering it’s such a big ‘island’!

      I grew up at Mamelin Bay. My family were pioneers of park to make it what it is today! Much has changed over time but another interesting fact is that large turtles also come up to nest on beach towards Boranup! Giant crayfish were also common along with many large species of fish! Lighthouse operated till mid nineteen sixties and was gas fired! My father helped to maintain it and often took me with him! We were taught that stingrays were shy creatures and would move away from danger! A local fisherman once caught one and it swung its tail n pinned his hand to side of wooden boat as tail is highly flexible!

      Yes on perfectly still day but unfortunately not on 14.6.22 when I visited but lots of seagulls on top of the wooden cross bars..

      • The Editor
        5 months ago Reply

        Yeah, I was lucky. The conditions were perfect. And barely a seagull in sight. I suspect they get quite squabble some over the prospect of a free feed!

    I have been in Poland so many times and never tried that. Unless I don’t remember since many visited occurred during my childhood. In the full article you mentioned we shouldn’t call them bagels, if I am not mistaken:-)

    • The Editor
      2 years ago Reply

      They’re only found in Kraków. And pretty much only in the old city. They been around since the 1300s, so maybe your parents only wanted you to eat something healthier?

      Also, you’re right. Don’t call them bagels. Well, not in front of a Cracovian anyway. But that’s pretty much what they are!

      Any of The Adventurist journeys are worth doing, although, I must admit, the Rickshaw Run looks the most fun. And most colourful!

      The piece was written by Melanie Hamilton who is lucky enough to live in Tbilisi and able to visit fantastic festivals like this.

    I did like your story!! I grew up and I still live in Livorno. There is a little mistake. Livorno, was founded by Medici Family (from Florence), and some specialised workers (engineers, surveyors, masons, carpenters) from Venice were hired to build house and defence walls. These skilled workers taught the inhabitants how to build on water.

      Hi Alessandro – thanks for your comment. Livorno is one of our favourite places in Italy. Full of brio! Can’t wait to get back there!

    I saw similar goats in Crete. They always looked like they were hanging from the cliff, as if glued there defying the gravity.

    If my family was not here in America, I would live in Italy. I could never understand why my mother-in-law spoke of it so highly and with so much love. Till I went and understood why BTW she was the best mother-in-law a girl could ever ask for and I married her only son. I loved her dearly. Also was a fabulous cook.

    Interesting. A friend told me that it tastes like sick. Leaving aside the reason you attended a rally for Robert (Robbers and Muggers) Mugabe, I salute your bravery. Change Maitiro!

      Yeah, it’s not a pleasant taste. But whatever gets the job done, eh?

      Re: Dropping in on Mugabe’s rally. Brave or stupid? Still, I had enough sense to get the hell out of there once one of his goons spotted me.

    Don’t you mean a cruise missile?
    Love Zimbabwe – such happy memories of doing VSO there in the 90s.

      Ha! A cruise missile is probably a little too sophisticated. The scuds used by Iraq during the war there were crude but effective. Which pretty much describes chibuka and probably why the locals use the moniker!

    A great book. I’m not he really that interested in birds but I love quirky stories and history and this fun read is full of I imagined facts. A fascinating and highly enjoyable, very accessible read. Highly recommended.
