Cliffs of Moher
2024 May 16
An amazing sight that you must visit when you are in Ireland!
It’s fairly easy to find by car, and there is plenty of parking available.
The visitors center has a large display on the geological history of the Cliiffs that includes a 4D video experience. There is a cafe and coffee shop, as well as plenty of restrooms in the center.
We spent about 2 hours here walking around and enjoying the displays, etc.
Plan for a longer stay if you plan to hike the trails along the cliffs. They are several kilometers long, and you can walk all the way to Doolin, if you like.
Vida Vegan Bistro
2024 Apr 09
We really enjoyed this vegan restaurant in Cusco!
It is now one of our favorites, and we have been to Cusco many times.
We enjoyed sitting on the small balcony (only 3 person capacity) while having dinner and watching the people go by.
Service was fairly prompt and friendly, but our waitress spoke no English. The menu was in Spanish and English, though, so we were able to order without any problems.
The food was presented beautifully, and was absolutely delicious.
Prices were moderate.
They have no alcohol on the menu, so be prepared to get your drinks elsewhere.
We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our vegan and vegetarian friends!
Supertree Observatory
2024 Jan 07
We visited the Super Tree forest at night, but just missed the light show that started at 8:45, other than what we could see and hear from a short distance away. We returned the next night to see the light and music show in its entirety and we were happy that we did!
Be sure to arrive a little early if you want a seat, or just take a blanket (as many do) to lie flat on the ground to stare up at the lights.
They have the light shows with music every night at 7:45 and 8:45 and you can walk into the Meadows area to watch the show with no entry fee.
Definitely see it during the day, and at night.
What can you say about visiting the Great Pyramid? It’s an absolute that should be on your list of places to visit in your lifetime!
First, it is obviously a very busy place most of the time, so do yourself a huge favor and get there when the gates open to beat the crowds that pour out of the tons of buses that start to arrive at opening or a little later.
Also, when you arrive, go directly to the Great Pyramid to look inside. It is a tough walk up to the sarcophagus room along narrow walkways, stairs, and a short tunnel that requires you to “squat through.” It is hot inside and it’s a strenuous walk, but absolutely worth it. We noticed several people getting halfway up, then just quitting!
We saw almost nobody inside the Great Pyramid at a little after 8 AM, so it was great for us. It would be really terrible having to fight a crowd to climb up inside to see it!
Also, the sarcophagus room is fairly small and gets really crowded and really hot when the crowds start to arrive. We were able to get in early enough to get good photos without a crowd of tourists to interfere.
There are lots of vendors here, and some can be a little pesky.
Also, there are tons of camel rides available either at the pyramids or at the panoramic view point area.
Plan on at least half a day to spend here, but spend the entire day if you can.
Take plenty of water, and wear some sunscreen and a hat.

Be sure to see everything here, including walking around the other pyramids, taking a look at the Sphinx, and going over to the panoramic view area to get some photos.
