This institution, which last year also set a new 7 wonders of the world to eliminate the Borobudur Temple. In this category the committee vote tourism objects made by humans. In the selection of new 7 wonders of nature that is now ongoing, the committee invites the world choose the tour that natural naturally formed by nature. Komodo National Park is the only place in the world of ancient animals that live Komodo dragons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Komodo National Marine Park is a unique marine sanctuary created by strong currents and upwellings that transport nutrient-rich waters throughout the park supporting a cornucopia of bio diversity. The Komodo National Marine Park is the Southern-most boundary of Wallacea (the transitional area for the flora and fauna of Asia and Australia) and offers truly legendary diving. The Komodo region has everything from majestic mantas, schooling jacks, barracudas and tuna to pigmy seahorses, nudibranchs, ghostpipe fish, and crustaceans galore. Scuba divers often encounter a new species while diving in the Komodo National Park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and pristine coral reefs are among the most important habitats at the Komodo National Park. Komodo offers world class scuba diving in a staggering variety of sites with walls, coral gardens, pinnacles, drop offs as well as quiet bays and inlets for macro photographers seeking rarely seen critters.&lt;br /&gt;The The Nature Conservancy has recorded an estimated 1000 fish species, 260 reef building coral species and 70 sponge species in the Komodo National Park with a particularly high number of Tubipora musica (organ pipe coral) accounting for the famous pink sand beaches around the park. Turtles and marine mammals frequent Komodo's waters with occasional whale sightings as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The infamous Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis), is a land-dwelling, carnivore and the planet's largest lizard. The Komodo dragon is also an excellent swimmer. From prehistoric times, the Komodo Dragon roamed these lands undiscovered until 1912. With twenty enormous griffin-like talons and layers of serrated backward-slanting teeth, the Komodo Dragon is a voracious cannibal. Fast on its feet, reaching speeds of up to 15 mph, their mouths carry a virulent bacteria which eventually immobilizes the Komodo Dragon's prey once bitten. The Komodo Dragon can reach up to 3 meters in length and weigh over 200 kilograms. The ferocious appearance and flicking yellow tounge is thought to be the source of many early mariner's tales of fire-breathing dragons prowling the islands of the Indonesian archipelago.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3273750347269328511-8156822644580949955?l=idportrait.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idportrait.blogspot.com/feeds/8156822644580949955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3273750347269328511&amp;postID=8156822644580949955' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3273750347269328511/posts/default/8156822644580949955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3273750347269328511/posts/default/8156822644580949955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idportrait.blogspot.com/2008/12/enchantment-of-island-komodo-dragons.html' title='Enchantment of the Island Komodo Dragons'/><author><name>Indonesian Portrait</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04685880219318751296</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_puwUirXPpo0/STKcDV9qQtI/AAAAAAAAAEU/7FJzueOlBoQ/S220/ID+Portrait.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_puwUirXPpo0/SVEMQuEgimI/AAAAAAAAAFU/aUeEshpWScI/s72-c/komodo-+island.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273750347269328511.post-3483285016589111966</id><published>2008-12-23T07:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-23T07:15:36.701-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tourism Place'/><title type='text'>Surabya City of Heroes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_puwUirXPpo0/SVEAdXKzWUI/AAAAAAAAAFE/6m_EfC1pSZ0/s1600-h/hero+menument+surabaya.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_puwUirXPpo0/SVEAdXKzWUI/AAAAAAAAAFE/6m_EfC1pSZ0/s400/hero+menument+surabaya.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283004342317832514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Surabaya city synonymous with the city of heroes, if you visit to the city of Surabaya less complete if not visited monument hero.

Some people feel frustrated reveal their reluctance on the pair to be active in the travel plan. The other said, they feel disappointment for the dramatic things that are unimportant. Some rover share lessons on matters of their nature, including their unique strategies for dealing with the dots that are difficult to pair with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that the pair travel is not business visits. "I can make a world tour and do not feel  We are working to complete the sentence, and my husband can catch the message! He often travel international business travel and family really different"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not stray. "I often feel stress because I was the map reader and navigator, while the husband driving. This causes us more brawl from everything. But now we use GPS, and that change everything"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find time for the roads themselves. "We have found great way to avoid boredom after 24 hours of togetherness. Make sure to schedule a separate travel regularly, do you like throughout the afternoon or evening. This discussion will provide the materials and reduce the pressure."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recognize the power of your partner. "He makes paper work and we do not lose even one moment, and I greatly appreciate it because we can make better decisions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solve disputes before it happens. "It takes time for us to deliver confidential and holiness of our peace agreement ... we swear to have fun during the holidays! How we do it: we discuss in the beginning, before departing, it usually causes the fracas. We finish it before happen. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stomach should be satisfied. "The taste of hunger is very dangerous, we learn not to eat delay" after the museum "or" later ahahah plus if we are in Malaga, "because it is very bad."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay optimistic despite the inconvenience. "I would easily understand that people can feel the heat as a result of sorts, not sure will be the goal, feel hungry for 2 hours, or even longer and knows what else can happen, as if this list can take forever. We all feel and I feel almost mad. However, as they often travel far and long, I enjoy the togetherness we learn and that this is not compare with what we see or not see us, what and when will we eat, when we will arrive at the destination -- for a wife in the side. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let small things passed. "I think the less we have to contend during the holidays, although we spend more time together, because we feel happy in there. We always feel the vibration" Woo Hoo, we will shoot another holiday "and concerned issues that may disrupt our home ".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always find drugs for disappointment. "If you do not had the opportunity to visit a museum, there is another way in the end there. If you turn you can find another way to arrive there. If you order something that you do not like the message again just something else. If you do not see this for travel, the return plan. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take it as a pair of lovers the world.

There is a lot of important information to consider when planning a vacation such a this because of the time spend at your destination&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be Flexible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vacations are a time of relaxation and enjoyment and this is why proper preparation can help improve you experience. Adventure tours allow you to visit new locations or take part in some extreme sports that you may not consider at any other time. Flexibility is important to having a good time. If you want to take part in a particular activity and it is not available, consider trying something new. This can be extremely beneficial because you may enjoy that new activity. Flexibility can help you discover new things about yourself while allowing you to have a great time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adjust Your Sleep Schedule &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The common cause of jet lag is when your body tries to adjust to the new time zone. One way to avoid jet lag is adjusting your sleep schedule to the hours that you would be sleeping while on vacation. This tip is highly recommended because if you do not feel well after landing at your destination, your trip can be extremely difficult to enjoy especially if your adventure tour involves activities such as hiking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experience the Landscape&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memories of your trip are extremely important and this is why it is recommended to take pictures. There are many opportunities for great pictures when you are on your trip especially during a hike through desert or forests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dress for Success&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may sound like an obvious tip but it is extremely important. You should always be prepared for weather conditions. You do not want to be caught off guard by unexpected weather. It may seem like a minor concern, but it is nice to be prepared. Prior research of the area can give you enough time to pack the correct clothes. This can improve your overall comfort and enjoyment while on the.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be Ready To Travel &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may sound like common knowledge, but an adventure tour typically calls for a good deal of travel, much more than your traditional vacation at the beach. Since adventure tours also involve activities such as camping and hiking it is best to be prepared for the unexpected. Because of this excessive walking it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know Your Limits &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When selecting an adventure tour, keep any physical limitations in mind. If you are unable to hike 10 miles or if do not enjoy walking, you may want to consider planning a different type of adventure tour. You do want to try new things and maybe even push yourself, but know your limits. There are many types of adventure tours and if you are unable to hike, consider an RV tour of cities such as Las Vegas or the landmarks in California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Advantage of Opportunities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adventure tours provide many opportunities for new experiences. When planning an adventure tour one typically plans the vacation with their interests in mind. This allows you to be sure that the experience can be enjoyable. But adventure tours provide many new opportunities to try new things. This can be just as exciting because it is the only way to be sure you do not like the new activity. Maybe consider bungee jumping or rock climbing. New activities can add a new level of enjoyment to your vacation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Travel as a Group &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adventure tours are usually based upon travelling in a group. This adds to the experience because those in your group are there for the same reason as you are. This is beneficial to your experience because some of your group mates may know something about the area that can add to your experience. It also creates a friendly atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know What You Like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may not be able to take part in every activity offered, and this is why you should make a list of which activities you want to partake in most. This allows you to get the satisfaction you wanted out of the trip if you are unable to join in the secondary events that are offered. This allows you to choose an adventure tour based upon your list. You can choose a trip based around sightseeing or sporting activities.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3273750347269328511-1274732726529647308?l=idportrait.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idportrait.blogspot.com/feeds/1274732726529647308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3273750347269328511&amp;postID=1274732726529647308' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3273750347269328511/posts/default/1274732726529647308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3273750347269328511/posts/default/1274732726529647308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idportrait.blogspot.com/2008/11/enjoy-adventure.html' title='Enjoy An Adventure'/><author><name>Indonesian Portrait</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04685880219318751296</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_puwUirXPpo0/STKcDV9qQtI/AAAAAAAAAEU/7FJzueOlBoQ/S220/ID+Portrait.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273750347269328511.post-6202038184456525528</id><published>2008-11-22T19:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-22T19:01:09.327-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tour'/><title type='text'>A Definition Of An Adventure Tour</title><content type='html'>Many people dream of having amazing adventures like one might see in the movies. Other vacationers decide to vacation at the same unadventurous location. If you are looking for a change from the ordinary and want to bring some real adventure into your life, you might want to consider taking an adventure tour for your next vacation. An adventure tour can be made up of a number of different components, but the end result is that you get to explore the best that the world has to offer in a hands-on way. Keep in mind that adventure tours are not for everyone; read these examples of common adventure tour components to see if one is right for you and your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most adventure tours involve hiking at one point or another, generally in conjunction with camping. Some of the hikes may be relatively short, serving as a down-to-earth method of transportation between larger components of the tour. Other hikes can be quite long, comprising a major part of the tour’s attraction. Many of the longer hikes have basic recommendations for your fitness level or they may ill require that you have a certain amount of hiking experience before you take them simply because the distances would be difficult for an out of shape individual to cover safely and in time with the rest of the group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White water rafting is a common component of an adventure tour. Tours exist that take you on all grades of rivers, though the higher grades usually require a certain amount of rafting experience, which helps prevent you from being a danger to yourself and others. Some tours may even take you across different grades on different days, letting you build up experience over the course of the tour, allowing you to be ready for larger rapids later. Most rafting tours involve camping and may include hikes in between river sections as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although not as common as rafting, a number of tours include a kayaking component as well. A number of these tours are featured in Alaska, where kayaking has somewhat of a cultural component; Alaskan kayak tours are often done in the open ocean. Kayaking is generally not the largest component of the tour, though dedicated kayaking tours do exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another element that is incorporated into a number of adventure tours is rock climbing or rappelling. There is a larger element of danger involved with rock climbing than with a standard hiking tour, but the sense of accomplishment and adventure is well worth it. Many adventure tours that feature rock climbing or rappelling are centered in mountainous regions where climbing may be the primary focus of the tour. There are some hiking tours, which feature rock climbing as just a single component of the tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other extreme sports may also be featured in adventure tours, though they are not as common as the elements that have already be mentioned. Some adventure tours incorporate bungee jumping, cliff diving, hang gliding, and similar activities in addition to hiking and more common components. Finding these tours may be a bit more difficult than finding a basic hiking tour, but if you are looking for a major thrill, these tours can definitely provide that extra sense of excitement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted that not all adventure tours are wilderness based; many adventure tour companies have packages, which allow you to experience the adventures of modern life. Tours can go to cities like Las Vegas and San Francisco are relatively common, and some of them even manage to mix city entertainment components with wilderness adventure in the outlying natural parks as well. Other tours are based out of an RV, which you take from one location to the next for each daily event. Some adventure tours contain components such as paintball or other team competitions as well. These are all exciting activities, which are excellent if you are looking to escape from the traditional trip to the beach. Although these may not be as relaxing as the beach, they sure provide excitement and a new thrill to your life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of which type of adventure tour you choose, you can expect to have a great time while on the tour. Many adventure tours consist of hiking and camping, but they may also have secondary components such as kayaking and rock climbing. If these are not what you are looking for, there are adventure tours that include extreme sports such as bungee jumping, cliff diving or hang-gliding. The length of the tours can vary from 2-3 days to up to 2 weeks or more, so you should be able to find a tour that meets your exact requirements. If you are looking for a non-traditional vacation, it is highly recommended to try an adventure vacation because it provides an experience that should last a lifetime.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3273750347269328511-6202038184456525528?l=idportrait.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idportrait.blogspot.com/feeds/6202038184456525528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3273750347269328511&amp;postID=6202038184456525528' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3273750347269328511/posts/default/6202038184456525528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3273750347269328511/posts/default/6202038184456525528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idportrait.blogspot.com/2008/11/definition-of-adventure-tour.html' title='A Definition Of An Adventure Tour'/><author><name>Indonesian Portrait</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04685880219318751296</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_puwUirXPpo0/STKcDV9qQtI/AAAAAAAAAEU/7FJzueOlBoQ/S220/ID+Portrait.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273750347269328511.post-459595984273908718</id><published>2008-11-22T18:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-22T19:00:34.569-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trip'/><title type='text'>Tips A Cruise Ship</title><content type='html'>Cruising has become an important vacation choice.

And an important part of being comfortable on a cruise is to get a cabin that suits your needs. A cruise ship is a huge maze and has cabins of different choices and set ups at all levels. As a part of the booking process you must make an effort to choose a cabin that will make your vacation cruise a dream one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try and study the layout of the ship you are traveling in either online or at the cruise line office. Whether a mainstream cruise or a luxury one each ship will have a wide variety of accommodation choices. Find out what are the choices of cabins available on the ship you are booking on. Often you will find that a ship has over twenty different categories.  Find out what the differences are between a cruise ship cabin and stateroom. Ask about standard, ocean view, balcony, and suite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know your personal preferences and needs. Think would you enjoy a cabin with a balcony or one with a large window? Would you like to be situated a little far from traffic or close to where all the activities are ?  Take into consideration the fact that it is in the cabin that you will be able to relax, watch TV, enjoy a long bath, or read a novel without being disturbed. The cabin will be your haven, home away from home for the duration of the cruise. So, take all your personal needs into consideration when booking a cabin. If the kids are going with you, look for family accommodation suites with adjoining cabins that have connecting doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask which cabins will be below or close to the water line, which ones are located way below deck and close to the engines or kitchens; check out how many stairs you will have to climb to reach deck. Consider location carefully. Find out which cabins are close to the disco or just below a jogging track or close to an elevator or lobby. Remember you may be woken up by the thud of feet while early morning joggers enjoy the sea air. Similarly try and avoid cabins that are at the bow or stem of the ship, here you will experience first hand movement of the seas and ship as well as the drone of machinery such as anchors, or propellers. Most experts would recommend cabins that are mid-ship and recommend against forward facing balconies because of the winds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The price range varies according to size, location, facilities and so on. So, determine how much each kind of cabin will cost and which one will fit into your budget and needs. Think cost and convenience. Ask while booking about cabin guarantees. This means that you will be allocated the cabin chosen by you or one in a higher category.
