The Best Island In The World (Bora Bora)

Bora Bora island is possibly the single most famous island in all the world.Unquestionably the most mythical of the Pacific islands remains the island of all dreams. Honeymooners and romantics from around the world have laid claim to Bora Bora where the castle-like Mount Otemanu pierces the sky above the crystal lagoon with its unique over the water bungalows that offer a magical oneness with this extraordinary environment. Lush tropical slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, while palm-covered motu circle the lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where impossibly colored fish animate the coral gardens. So much has been written about Bora Bora, and yet it is hard to find the right words to describe the magic that emanates from this island. Seen from the air, Bora Bora has been compared to that of "a tiny emerald in a setting of turquoise, encircled by a sheltering necklace of sparkling pearls".

To the southeast of the island is the Coral Garden, a natural underwater park where all types of fish and corals are found.Off the Point Matira there is an area where the huge and graceful manta rays congregate for your viewing pleasure. There are other types of ray such as the beautiful spotted ray and the friendly gray ray which love to be petted during the "ray feeding" excursions.At the entrance of the pass, the "White valley" teems with gray sharks and barracudas in a never ending ballet.

Bora Bora, located about 160 miles northwest of Tahiti and approximately 2,600 miles south of Hawaii, was discovered in 1722, and is arguably the most beautiful island on the planet.  The island's ancient name of Vava'u suggests the original inhabitants of this 7 million year old island arrived from Tonga, and interestingly, there is no "B," in the local Tahitian language, so its actual name is Pora Pora, meaning "first born."  Under the leadership of Admiral Abel Aubert Dupetit Thouars, Bora Bora was named a colony of France in 1842. Volcanic in origin, Bora Bora's rugged main island, and a few smaller islands, are completely surrounded by coral reefs.  

Truly, the most romantic island in the world. From the dramatic scenery to the privacy and amenities of the overwater bungalows, everything in Bora Bora equals a 10 on the romance scale. Resorts have been welcoming couples for over 40 years and their special amenities have been fine tuned to perfection. From sunrise to sunset, each resort has designed their own blend of unique romantic experiences for their guests.

The Lost City of the Incas (Peru)

Machu Picchu ("Old Peak") is a pre-Columbian15th-century Inca city witch build by emperor Pachacuti and estate around 1450.It’s site  2,430 meters (7,970 ft) above sea level.It is located in the cusco region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District inPeru.it is perhaps the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. It was abandoned less than 100 years later, as the empire collapsed under Spanish conquest.

In 1911, Yale historian and explorer Hiram Bingham brought the "lost" city to the world's attention. By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored. Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Intihuatana (Hitching post of the Sun), the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. These are located in what is known by archaeologists as theSacred District of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is vulnerable to threats from a variety of sources. While natural phenomena like earthquakes and weather systems can play havoc with access.

Although the citadel is located only about 80 kilometers (50 mi) from Cusco, the Inca capital, the Spanish never found it and consequently did not plunder or destroy it, as they did many other sites. Over the centuries, the surrounding jungle grew over much of the site, and few outsiders knew of its existence.

In 1983 UNESCO designated Machu Picchu a World Heritage Site, describing it as "an absolute masterpiece of architecture and a unique testimony to the Inca civilization.Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.

   The year at Machu Picchu is divided between wet and dry seasons, with the majority of annual rain falling from October through to April. It can rain at any time of the year.

Machu Picchu is situated above a loop of the Urubamba River, which surrounds the site on three sides, with cliffs dropping vertically for 450 meters (1,480 ft) to the river at their base. The area is subject to morning mists rising from the river.The location of the city was a military secret, and its deep precipices and steep mountains provided excellent natural defenses. The Inca Bridge, an Inca rope bridge, across the Urubamba River in thePongo de Mainique, provided a secret entrance for the Inca army. Another Inca bridge was built to the west of Machu Picchu, the tree-trunk bridge, at a location where a gap occurs in the cliff that measures 6 meters (20 ft). It could be bridged by two tree trunks, but with the trees removed, there was a 570 meters (1,870 ft) fall to the base of the cliffs.

The city sits in a saddle between the two mountains Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu,with a commanding view down two valleys and a nearly impassable mountain at its back. It has a water supply from springs that cannot be blocked easily, and enough land to grow food for about four times as many people as ever lived there. The hillsides leading to it have been terraced, not only to provide more farmland to grow crops, but to steepen the slopes which invaders would have to ascend. The terraces reduced soil erosion and protected against landslides. Two high-altitude routes from Machu Picchu go across the mountains back to Cusco, one through the sun gate, and the other across the Inca bridge. Both could be blocked easily, should invaders approach along them. Regardless of its original purpose, it is strategically located and readily defended. The site is roughly divided into an urban sector and an agricultural sector, as well as the upper town and the lower town. The temples are part of the upper town, the warehouses the lower.

Heart Touching Story

I was 15 years when i started my love with Sarah. She was 14 years by that time. I felt attracted to her and loved her and in return she paid me her love in full. We could go together at school, but at home our parents did not want our relationship because first of all we were young and again our families had conflicts. But we promised each other never to be apart.

We never had sex that’s why i tell young girls that someone who loves you should be patient but not forcing you.
We kept our love for one more year and due to increasing wars in our country their family went to a refugee camp from Mogadishu to Northern Kenya.
She came to me and told me they are leaving,I reminded her of what she promised that she’ll never leave me.
She replied me that this is beyond her control but promised me again she’ll be back.
We hugged each other, kissed each other as we cried saying goodbye.

But we both had hope of meeting each other again.Soon after their departure, in the news, the two cars carrying refugees were hit by a bombs and no one survived.
When i heard that Sarah was dead, all my hope was gone. I cried and cried remembered her last kiss and hug i thought i had nothing good to live for. My parents tried to give me counseling but failed. I couldn’t eat or sleep and when i’d feel am about to die i would take a cup of milk or water and kept my life though this happened for like two weeks.

We fear Jinnes (ghosts) but i wished she could come as a ghost and say the last word to me.
I wished that at-least if i had left Somalia and gone with her you never know i’d have done something to save her.

I never fell in love again because of her memories i prayed to Allah (God) to remove her from my mind but it failed.

After my Education by that time i was 20 years i left for a job in Nairobi Kenya, i worked for days, weeks and months.

After one and a half years, i was at my workshop and saw someone passing on the road. She was someone i knew but i lost my senses to know who she’s cos to me Sarah was dead. I kept looking at her went outside and reached near her but feared to say something to her. She then looked at someone starring at her and turned around when she saw me i saw joy covering her face. I couldn’t wait her to reach me but went running to meet her, hold her and let her inside where i worked. Everybody wondered how happy i was that day cos i was never ever happy since the last five years.

I asked her: we were told you died in a bomb blast.

Sarah: we were in three trucks and ours was spared the bombs hit the other two.

Then me: why didn’t you come back as you promised?

Sarah: my dad after six months got a job in Nairobi and i had no transport to take me back and as you know he can’t give it to me cos he is not interested in our love but i knew one day we will meet that’s why i kept ur heart.

I asked her: whats next now.

Sarah: Tomorrow come at home and i show you to my parents again and we plan our wedding.
The following day i dressed up like a man ready to take someones daughter, went with my friend and she waited for us on the junction. We reached at their home and they gave us a welcome.

My friend told them that we want their daughter in marriage.

Her dad started speaking: i never wanted my daughter to be married to you before because of our conflicts between families. But may God forgive me, it seems that’s how it was meant to be. May God bless ur Marriage.

As we said Amen, the next step was going to Somalia where my parents were and we do our wedding.

I went with her and my friend together with her brother as we left for Somalia. Soon as we had left Nairobi, a bus that was coming towards us lost control.
When i woke up in the hospital ward, my friend was lying next to me as doctors were preparing his body to mortuary.

Sarah for her she died on spot as soon as the vehicle we were in crashed with the bus. Sarah’s brother’s leg was cut and he is now moving with one leg and supporters.

Sarah’s dad told me as he found me in the hospital “be brave my son, everything goes as it was meant to be. Don’t be discouraged, that’s life” his words did something in my heart.

I was 21 years then now am 26 years but since then i have never fallen in love with any girl neither do i feel like marrying anyone cos Sarah……….
