Masjid Tijuca and Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro

24 April 2015 I awoke late and only had breakfast at 0940 am. I then went back to my room, rested and did more research on Chile, my next destination (which I had not booked flights to yet, or planned to visit until yesterday). At 11 am I shower and then left for the mosque in Tijuca at 1210 pm. The taxi from Copacabana to Masjid Tijuca cost 35 reals. The taxi driver was a little confused about…

The Funniest Travel Videos of 2018

This is a collection of my favorite travel videos of 2018, from across the globe.

1. Mariah Carey – Hostelworld Commercial – Even Divas are Believers.

Hilarious! I love it when brands like Hostelworld aren’t afraid to make fun of themselves.

2. Don’t be a #TravelHater – Lift

From Mzansi (South Africa)

Johannesburg to Durban road trip – alternate routes

I’ve driven from Johannesburg to Durban four times in the past year, and on some occasions I’ve decided to take some scenic detours. The standard route keeps you on the tolled N3 road the entire journey. This route is 568km, takes approximately 6 hours to drive, passes through Gauteng,  Free State and KwaZulu Natal provinces; and costs a class 1 vehicle R231 (in 2018) toll fees.

The route is…

Manaus to Rio, Brazil

At 0830 am I had a hearty breakfast with cashew nut juice at Go Inn Manaus.

After breakfast I walked to Banco Brazil 5 minutes away to draw more money from their ATM’s but by South African bank cards did not work on their ATM network. I returned to Go Inn Manaus rested until check-out time at 12pm. At 1300 I took a taxi to the Amazonas Shopping Mall.

I was looking for a charger for my GoPro…

Amazon Forest final cruise by day, Amazon Theatre performance at night

I awoke at 0600 am. It was already bright outside and I was ready for breakfast by 0730 am. There were just 6 of us guests remaining this morning at Amazon Tupana Lodge, so we all ate at one table.

That’s the mischievous parrot in the lodge.

After breakfast we went on another boat trip to see if we could spot dolphins or other wildlife.

We just saw a cobra slithering on the water surface.

And…

A power bank to jump start a car

I may be late to discovering this gadget, not out of need, but from a lack of knowledge. I forgot to turn off the headlamps on my car yesterday when I visited the local public swimming pool. Even though the water is slightly heated (which makes it bearable in mid-winter), I like to use my car heater after a swim. Unfortunately, I had to wait 1.5 hour after sunset, shivering, for roadside…

Piranha fishing & caiman spotting on the Amazon Tupana river

After visiting a local Amazonian tribe that morning, we left at 1530 to go fishing by motorized boat, about 30 minutes away by boat from Amazon Tupana Lodge.

We used fish as bait.

Only one person in our group was lucky. He caught 2 piranhas.

There was also some…

2017 has been another hectic year (as we South Africans say) with the travel industry shaken by US travel bans, airliners mistreating passengers to scam music festivals. Enough material for the creative industry to produce hilarious gems, whether it be advertisements or parodies.

As I have published since 2014, here is my list of the funniest travel related videos for 2017.
