Rinca Staff Blood After Dragon Attack

Guide told us that a member of staff was working at his desk in the office when a small dragon managed to get in and bite him on the ankle. He pulled it off but the beast got him on the wrist and his blood went all over the wall and window when he leapt onto the cupboard. Seems he was e-vacued by speedboat to Labuanbajo then flown to Bali for treatment. Wonder why the bloodstains weren't washed off wall, window and floor????

Germany in Istanbul

As we later learned, some Bavarian Prince gifted this to Istanbul. Needless to say, the building was a bit out of place and a remarkable sight along our ferry ride out to the Princes' Islands.

Five on a Jaipur Scooter

Transportation takes on a whole other meaning in India. I wish I'd had my camera out for the men pulling carts loaded up with what must have been 2 tons of cooking oil...uphill. Luckily, the traffic jam gave kate the chance to snap this shot of an entire family (two women, two children, and one man) on one scooter. and notice the garlaned Ganesh-ji on the dashboard of the taxi?
