Great Post! Thank you for sharing :)

Great image and great read about an area I would love to visit. Thanks @exploretraveler for the posts and for the SB. Looking forward to your next post.

Great view ...nice port....Looks like a good place to visit though am worried about the security over there.

As long as you drive in the daytime away from the highway bandits it okay :-)

When I see these great posts I'm reminded that there are so many places still to see....thanks.

@healingherb the world above and below the sea really is amazing. Too bad more than one lifetime is needed to see everything. But we are trying. :-)

Thank You so much for sending me SDB 2 days ago, much appreciated.

Your welcome and we will be sending more several times per week.
