RE: Experiential Traveling: Avoiding the Carnival Cruise
@cicisaja I'm really glad you enjoyed the read and hope that you can find the time to also travel in a similar fashion.
To answer your questions, the billiards table was in a busy market in a town outside of Durban, South Africa. We were wandering around that day and came across a really cool spice market as well... see below (sorry, for some reason the pictures keep posting sideways). I really like the pic because of its randomness, specifically its location and craftsmanship (see the ball catcher!?)
The macaq was actually in a tree about 15-20 feet away, if I remember correctly. My camera is a Panasonic DMC-FZ200, which is a more user-friendly version of a traditional DSLR. Basically, I wanted the ability to zoom in on wildlife/scenery without compromising space in my bag with the additional lens.
I'm encouraged by your comments and will continue to post some of these photos!
Yaaayy... that's really cool @marm16.. don't worry about the picture, I can turn my phone up side down to see the pictures😊 OMG.. I never knew that Africa have many spices, the words is unique too.. how to read it? Forgive me, english is not my first language and there's a possibility that I confusing you with my comment😳.
No pretty photo of food aesthetic 😉 that's what a traveller should post. Exploring the unique things of a culture, wish you all the best @marm16... be healthy so you can do more travel and explore the world.
