Hiking near Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

This is along the hike back down from the famous Jungfraujochin (3571m) Switzerland – Europe’s highest point! From one direction you could see across a gleaming wasteland to the Italian Alps and in the other Germany’s Black Forest. It was snow covered and a bit cold up top, but on the way down it was beautiful and the sound of cowbells echoed through the mountains. I made friends with this one!

La Torre di Pisa, Italy

The Tower of Pisa was started by some guy (who hadn't had his V-8) in 1173 and they say it took about 200 years to finish it with all the legthly interuptions etc!!! Can you believe that? I was traveling with a crazy English guy named John - and we decided to do all sorts of "Pairs Figure Skating" poses... but I had to do this one too! Nothing like a crowd of japenese tourists wondering what the hell you're up to - and then taking photos of you instead of the tower!

Borghese Garden, Rome, Italy

The garden Casino Borghese was built on a rise above the Villa Borghese by the architect Vasanzio and was set up by Camillo Borghese to contain sculptures by Bernini including his statues of David and Daphne. It is the most picturesque beautiful place! Just the place for a headstand!

Theatre of Dionysos, Athens, Greece

The Pyramids, Eygpt

I had always dreamed of going to Eygpt to see the pyramids… Giza's three pyramids (and the Sphinx) were constructed in the fourth dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom, arguably the first great civilization on earth. The Great Pyramid which used to be the tallest building in the world until early in this century -- was believed to have been built in just under 30 years! Imagine!!! Today, Giza is a suburb of rapidly growing Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the fifth largest in the world.

Petra, Jordon

Petra was first established sometime around the 6th century BC, by the Nabataean Arabs, a nomadic tribe who settled in the area and laid the foundations of a commercial empire that extended into Syria. The entire city is made of decorated caves carved into the rock faces of a giant gorge. You might recall the famous Treasury in Petra which was used as the "Holy Temple" in Indiana Jones. This is just a small gorge - but such an amazing place. A great place for a headstand!

Baalbek, Lebannon

Baalbek is also known as the City of the Sun. It is located in the beqaa valley (3000 ft above sea level) and holds some of the world's greatest historical and best preserved Roman sites. Its remains include a gigantic complex of Roman temples with the tallest columns ever erected which date back to around 3000 BC.

Damascus, Syria

Damascus has been inhabited as early as 8000 to 10,000 BC. It is due to this that Damascus is considered to be the oldest continually inhabited city in the world. I met some students on a trip from Jordon who wanted to pratice their English and take photos of me because I was the first Canadian they had ever met! (Nothing to do with the headstands!)

Troy, Turkey

Troy (Greek: Τροία Troia) is the legendary city and center of the Trojan War in Anatolia, close to the seacoast in what is now Canakkale province in northwest Turkey. There isn't much left of Troy - just a pile of rocks really - but I thought the mock wooden horse they made was well worth the trip! (Not really folks!)

Ephesus, Turkey

Ephesus (Greek:Έφεσος) is the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean, and perhaps the best place in the world to get the feeling for what life was like in Roman times. As a strategic coastal gateway to the Eastern World, this Ionian refuge grew to be the second largest city in the Roman Empire, the site of a Christian shrine, and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. If you can touch both sides of this archway along what would have been the city's "main street" it means you will have good luck in love.
