Travel Daily Tip

This is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world, this is a remote area and permit require to hike there (to obtain a permit please read this)
only 20 people allowed per day.

The hike itself is not an easy one but defiantly not hard and anyone in reasonable shape can do it, its a 6 miles hike roundtrip but it is hiking in the desert so you must carry a lot of water, wear light clothes and a hat and a lot of sun block.

It is an unmarked hike but you will get a photo guide once you win a permit from the visitor center (@Kanab, UT), we used a gps app on our iphone which tracked our way in and we hiked back out the same way.

the place is amazing and really worth all the efforts of trying to get a permit and hiking in the sun.

When I travel I really love tasting all kind of street foods, ye right, the cheap stuff you get from those guys with carts. So here it is – my top 5 street food (and I haven’t been to Asia yet  – imagine that)

1. Chicken Shish Kebab in Istanbul – we tried it when arriving to Anadolu Kavagi (after a short boat ride on the Bosphorus river) and it was so good (and since it was also really cheap we immediately had another one).

2. Nurnberger Original – these are long hot dogs (but which actually taste good, like meat and not like crap) – you can get them all over Nurnberg on carts for like 2 Euros each.

3.  Turkish pretzel – available throughout Istanbul for less than a Dollar.

4. Giant licorice on candy stand all around Sweden and Norway – they are like 70 CM long and you can get them in every color you can think of

5. Square Pizza in Italy (in my case it was Florence but i think you can find it elsewhere as well) – really tasty and really thick.

Since I am a big junk food fan – I guess I will have more fast food related lists soon.

I am a big fan of waterfalls of all kind, I love to watch it and it is even worth a few hours of trekking to get there in my opinion. the funny thing is that after visiting both well known and less known waterfalls, it is not always the known waterfalls that i really love, I am not as big of a fan of Niagara falls or  Krimmel falls like i am a fan of Koziak fall or Gullfoss.

So here it is, My top 5 hidden, not really well known waterfalls:

1. Koziak fall in Slovenia

2. Calc Creek Falls at Grand Staircase, Escalante – Utah, USA

3.  Cloudland canyon state park, GA, USA

4. Gullfoss – Iceland

5.  St Mary Falls – Glacier National park Montana, USA

There are many other falls i really like and are not very famous but these are probably my top 5.
