A short tour on the uninhabited island Rottumerplaat, one of the two Wadden islands of Groningen in the north of the Netherlands. The island is forbidden access for people, only a handful of researchers and bird counters (which also was the reason of my visit) can enter the island occasionally.
When you go on safari the second question people ask (after "what animals did you see?") is “where did you stay?” When you reply that your trip was a tented safari you watch their eyes get wide and prepare for the third question, “like, on the ground?”
I have to say it's at this point my well-honed skills as a storyteller from years of fishing takes over, and let’s just say some of what I recall is embellished a bit.
This video is about Marion island, one of South Africa's Prince Edward Islands.

King Penguins and Fur Seals - BBC Planet Earth
Between South Africa and the South Pole on Marion Island, returning king penguins bring food for their young. However, in order to reach them, they must brave repeated attacks from angry fur seals. In an ongoing battle of face-offs both the seals and the penguins know the dangers of the fight.
The Damaniyat Islands consist of 9 islands and there are a total of 12 recognized dive-sites to explore there. Our first dive (which is my 19th dive to date) on Thursday, April 13th, was to Black Tip Reef; so named because of the black tip reef sharks which are often observed there. (Not on this dive, thank God! ;-) ) We were with Faisal, Muneer and the gang from Omanta Scuba.
Sawadi Beach is a gorgeous place to visit in Barka - about a hour and a half from Muscat along the coast as you drive towards Sohar. We've enjoyed several trips to this beautiful spot and I wrote a post about the watch tower and public beach there almost exactly 3 years ago. Time to post a more recent trip - one in which I decided to climb all the way up to the tower.
Femundløpet, hosted every year and setting out from Røros for a haul of 600, 400 or 200 km depending on category, is a festive occasion with a lot of great nature experiences. The sleds are led by twelve dogs, and the race features a number of checkpoints for the dogs, as well as the racer, to get some compulsory rest and paw love.
Love this!
