The Stray Dogs of Lagos

pic 082The Stray Dogs of Lagos – Shaun Makes a Friend

So after another late night in Lagos, Jon and I missed check out and are here for another day. Terrible. I got up at the crack of noon to go for a hike and make the most of another day here. It was gorgeous out. There is a trail here that goes along the cost from small beach to small beach. It was amazing. The most beautiful sights I have seen so far. At the second beach I met my black lab friend. The Stray Dogs of Lagos are awesome. There are so many cruising the streets and its not like they are wandering, they are on there way somewhere. There is one dog that hangs out at the bar we have been going to. This dog just chills on one of the couches with the music blasting. I was on the beach and saw this black lab come running down the 100 or so steps to the beach and into the water. Poor thing must have been dying from the heat. He then started digging frantically on the beach then brought a rock over to me. We played fetch for at least an hour. Reminded me of my brothers dog, “Trek”. I called this one “El Treko”. He would not stop and dove into the waves like a pro. The Stray Dogs of Lagos are also playful.

After I got tired from playing fetch I continued along the coast until I hit the point. I stayed there for a few hours. It was amazing. The coast has tons of huge holes that lead down to the ocean and carved out arc’s. My mom sent me an email wondering what Lagos was really like…here you go.

Off for some eats and beer. Sevile Spain tomorrow?

Mykines: The World’s Most Unspoiled Island

The Faroe Islands are famous for their exquisite beauty and isolation.  Yet of all the islands and villages and regions, one place stands out as the most unspoiled, most unique, and perhaps even the most beautiful. That place is a little island called Mykines. Mykines (pronounced MEE-chin-ness) is the westernmost point in the Faroe Islands, and a popular destination for the Faroese.  There is no bridge or tunnel leading there, so you must travel either by boat or helicopter from neighboring island Vagar. I arrive by boat and meet Harald, a septuagenarian guide with the legs of a mountain goat.  Right away, he takes me up a hill; an hour later, I realize we’re in the middle of a four-hour hike. The landscape is breathtaking.  For what seems like the hundredth time in the past few days, I marvel at the scenery before me.   How can a place this beautiful be completely unknown to most of the world? Sure, Mykines is incredibly to look at.  But it has something the other islands...

New Zealand is full of beautiful views. From snow-capped mountains, to untouched beaches, to geothermal wonders, to lush rainforests, to rugged coastlines, to colorful towns… need I go on?

My 5 Favorite Views in New Zealand Top of the North Cape Reinga The Northland Region of New Zealand — full of beaches, forests, and gently-rolling hills under a big blue sky — has some of my favorite views in the country.

Wellington Oriental Bay It's no secret that Wellington — New Zealand's political and cultural capital — is my ...
