VPG-DVD-151 - EL GOLFO DE CALIFORNIA Larger than Italy and twice as long as Florida, the Baja California is a huge peninsula at the southern end of California on the western border of the Golfo California. A few drops of rain in this region are enough to make the soil explode with life and transform the land into a vast undulating ocean of green palm trees and fruit-bearing cacti. Remote haciendas interrupt the savannah-like landscape with estates so vast that it's necessary to travel across them by motor vehicle. The Barranca Del Cobre is four times larger and ninety metres deeper than the Grand Canyon. Powerful torrents of water created the region's deep canyons and its igneous stones were subjected to powerful erosion thus creating bizarre rock formations. At a height of thirty-five metres the Cusárare Waterfall is an impressive sight as its magnificent crystal clear water plunges down into the deep abyss below. This part of Mexico located on the Tropic Of Cancer divides the country into two climatic zones of the same size: temperate and tropical. El Golfo De California and its contrasting deserts, arid mountain regions and lush vegetation is a wonderfully remote landscape whose unique beauty captures the imagination of all who experience it.

VPG-DVD-201 - MALTA Homer called Malta, 'The Centre Of The Sea'. This island situated in the heart of the Mediterranean and was important to both the orient and the occident. After the Phoenicians and the Punier came the Romans followed by the Arabs and the Normans: but it was the Knights Of Malta who made the most indelible mark here. Valletta is also known as The City Of Palaces and is Malta's main city, full of historic buildings, and in 1530 the Order of the Knights of Malta moved its main residence to this part of the island. The St. John´s Co-Cathedral was built in1577 by Gerolama Cassar as a monastic church of the Order Of The Knights Of Malta and its splendid interior was financed by the profits gained from hostilities mounted by the Order against Muslim trading ships. Mosta is situated in the middle of the island, a busy small town with a famous landmark, Mosta Cathedral, a huge sacred building whose mighty dome can be seen from almost anywhere on the island. The rugged southern coast of Malta contains small fjord-like features and numerous grottos, the most spectacular of which is the Blue Grotto. From the village of Wied-Iz-Zurrieq a steep path leads down to the sea and when the weather is suitable experienced guides take passengers on small boats through a narrow canyon into the grotto where the colour of the water is truly fascinating. One of the prettiest villages on Gozo is Gharb whose Baroque parish church dominates the main square. Here it is as though time really has stood still. With seven thousand years of history Malta is a colourful and beautiful island with tales of the sea and noble knights: a tantalising pearl set in the very heart of the Mediterranean.

VPG-DVD-184 - KATHMANDU VALLEY Kathmandu is a melting pot of both race and religion, a metropolis in the heart of the Kingdom of Nepal, a country of snow-covered mountains inhabited by the gods. Kumari Chowk is the residence of the living goddess, Kumari. For this role a young girl is duly selected and is disallowed from leaving the palace until puberty. Her task is it to affirm the power of the king. Age old traditions are celebrated throughout the year such as the Festival Of The Children that symbolises fertility and sexuality. Patan is Nepal's second largest city and has retained much of its original character due to its three hundred monasteries and temples. This beautiful former centre of one of the earliest three kingdoms contains the Hindu Kumbeshwara Pagoda one of the country's oldest buildings dedicated to the god, Shiva. The tower-like Mahabuddha Temple is adorned with several terracotta figures and ornaments and is different to conventional Nepalese architecture. In earlier times the Kwa Bahal Monastery was the administrative centre of trade in Tibet. Its shining gilded copper plates soon gave it the name, The Golden Temple. Changu Narayan, the gem of Nepal, designated as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, is the oldest sanctuary in Kathmandu Valley. Situated 1,450 metres on a mountain north of Bhaktapur it is home to many skilful artists and wood carvers. Hidden in a canyon and located next to a mountain creek is the Dakshinkali Temple. Each year this sanctuary is visited by more than four hundred thousand pilgrims. This place of worship is dedicated to one of the mightiest goddesses of this region, the Southern Kali. The customs of the people in the Kingdom On The Roof Of The World may seem somewhat strange but this land of jungle and eternal snow has developed according to its own rich traditions and beliefs. Pure magic!

TMT-DVD-118 - PETRA Hidden amid the Wadi Musa, the Valley Of Moses in South Jordan, is one of the most fascinating and mysterious ruins on Earth, the legendary rock city of Petra. A desert tribe, the Nabateans, once established a settlement in the shelter of the rocks and founded a splendid royal city that has survived to the present day. For many centuries their sanctuaries and dwellings that had been carved into the rock fell into oblivion until they were later rediscovered. Several ancient paths lead through one of the most fascinating metropolis' of ancient times and a seemingly hostile desert world of rock yet full of the fascinating remains a legendary people. Before the Nabateans built this splendid rock city within the desert they first had to organise a supply of water. With great technical skill they succeeded in diverting the water from distant springs along the walls of narrow canyons and into the city. Even today Petra has a unique and magical atmosphere and both the local Bedouin tribes as well as those who visit cannot fail but be impressed by it. The legendary rock town of the Nabateans provides a remarkable insight into a bygone epoch of the Near East that continues to be full of historic mystique.

TMT-DVD-112 - GRAND CANYON Formed at the point where the Colorado River breaks through the mountains of the American West, the 1800 metre deep Grand Canyon is endowed with a wealth of natural forms and shapes which have made it inevitable that it would have a colourful and important role to play within the myths of creation of the region's indigenous inhabitants. The Native American Indians chose it as their 'Happy Hunting Grounds' in which man's soul lives on after death. Myth and legend tell of how a giant buffalo ripped open the earth with its horns forcing it upwards toward heaven. This is the kingdom of 'Coyote', creator of the world, who is answerable only to the God Manitou. The Grand Canyon is fact, fiction, legend and myth...a geographical wonder of the worlds of both fantasy and reality.

TMT-DVD-115 - BRYCE CANYON Located in the south of the US Federal State of Utah, Bryce Canyon National Park attracts nature lovers from all over the world. One hundred and forty five square kilometres of pure nature overwhelms those who experience it. Millions of years ago, due to extreme pressure from beneath it, the Earth's crust cracked and this wonderful landscape was created, a gigantic amphitheatre of red stone scattered with a thousand rock needles that tower into the sky. Fantastic rock columns known as 'hoodoos' rise upward like towering cathedrals and great skyscrapers, conveying both the feeling of eternity and the majestic might of Nature. The extraordinary fascination of this landscape stems from the richness of its colours and unusual formations. These bizarre creations seem to defy the laws of gravity and it is difficult to believe that it was Nature, not Man, that created them.

TMT-DVD-114 - ANTELOPE CANYON Located in the North American state of Arizona, Antelope Canyon is an amazing kaleidoscope of natural rock formations that not only contain a bewitching spectrum of blazing colour but also an array of shapes and dimensions that are truly awe-inspiring, mind boggling and...'unreal'! The rocks were formed by the petrified remains of prehistoric sand dunes during the time that the region was covered by the sea. Not just from the outside but from within, Antelope Canyon is a visual treat at every turn and even the most down to earth souls must suddenly feel a sense of creative inspiration with each blink of the eye. It is as though a giant sculptor has mixed the earth up in a great melting pot, added every imaginable colour and hue to his incredible creation and then invited the world to view it so that they could attempt to fathom how such an overwhelming and natural miracle came to be.

Got up super early to drive to Arizona and the edge of Grand Canyon West to experience the Skywalk. Little did we know there was 14 miles of corrugated, dirt road!!! Within a few miles, the 'maintenance required' light turned on in my 2007 Yaris!! It was a gut wrenching, tooth rattling ride. At the Skywalk 'terminal' we endured more wind and dust, porta-potties and loud helicopters landing across the street. A bus (with transmission issues) drove us on more dirt roads to the actual Skywalk. Was the chance to walk 4,000 feet above the Grand Canyon floor worth $80 each? (plus the locker rental to put all the stuff you're not allowed to take on the glass) They do, however, give you cute booties to slip over your shoes and take a picture of you in them, for a mere $25 !! On a positive note, this side of the Grand Canyon is not part of the national park system, so there are no fences to keep you from the very edge. The Colorado River is close below winding through the beautiful red canyon. The food was actually good, but served on paper plates with plasticware. We were horrified to watch the wind blow them right into the canyon. For every positive, there was a negative... a 50/50, expensive experience. Oh, then it rained... and there was no shelter, walking through puddles and mud to get back to the car (then had another 14 miles of unpaved road to endure!)Song is "Six Feet from the Edge" by Creed
