Pelicans float in the bay of Puerto Ayora, Galapagos.

Snorkelling with seals in the Galapagos islands

Ecuador. The Equator. The Galapagos Islands. There is unusual magic in these words. You can read about the blue-footed booby, or Darwin’s five-week visit here, or about the seals that yawn when you go near them. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 0

  1. Times Square by day -- the congestion capital of an overly congested city.

    Big Apple; little world

    The camera picks up my trail when I'm flying high, 37,000 feet high, gawking out the window at the electric sea that is America's east coast. I haven't seen civilization like this in eight months; been galavanting around the big sur of course, and it comes as even more of a shock than those raw scenes from down south.

  2. Yoga master Ajay Kumar, left, who has been practising since the age of 10, adjusts yoga student Christina Lagdameo at the Sthalam 8, an ashtanga vinyasa yoga shala in Mysore, India.

    All the right moves

    MYSORE, India -- Mysore-style yoga is no ordinary ashtanga class. Teacher Ajay Kumar, who began practising at 10, seems intimidating to the first-time student, until his witty humour surfaces. The authoritative 25-year-old gives one student 15 minutes of squatting homework and adjusts another one to the point of tears. Then his eyes turn toward me. Uh oh.

  3. Blarney Stone: the gift of germs

    Got the travel bug?

    With hand sanitizer flying off shelves and people forgoing large crowds to avoid catching the H1N1 virus, for many, basic hygiene seems to take a vacation when on holiday. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 0

    Disney's Dream expected to attract a new generation

  7. Belize has incredible sunsets that seem to last for hours until the sun literally drops into the ocean.

    Paradise? You better Belize it!

    IT’S not hard to see why Madonna sang so longingly about this idyllic island paradise in her 1980s hit  La Isla Bonita. She was writing about Ambergris Caye, a 40-kilometre-long island off the mainland of Belize. San Pedro is the town on this island, which is the most popu­lar tourist spot in Belize, but still home to only about 5,000 people. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 14/11/2009 1:00 AM | 0
