Travels - 1999


Countries visited in 1999:
Costa Rica, Taiwan (yes, in my book, it is a soverign country!), Hong Kong, Macau.





National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan


Chiang-Kai Chek Memorial, Taipei, Taiwan


View from Victoria Peak, Hong Kong


From Kowloon side, view of Hong Kong Harbor and Island




Tabacon Hot Springs, Costa Rica.
Now this is how you begin a vacation... Relaxing in 100 degree hot springs. They have a swim up bar in one of the hot springs.



Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica.
In the background is Volcana Arenal, which erupts very frequently. Molten lava was visible at night tumbling down the mountain. The volcano is what provided the Tabacon hot springs...



Not all the locals are out to make your stay as hassle-free as possible. This monkey was just about to get in my bag to start russling through for food. He wound up trying to make off with my camera case, presumably to hold for ransom until I went and got food (yes, they are THAT smart). Luckily, I wrestled it away from the little bugger.



Beach at Manuel San Antonia, Costa Rica
Checking my backback to make sure the monkeys didn't steal anything else...
