Often, Islands - and more whent they are far away - are also used as jail. There's a terrible one in Port Blair (South Andaman) where one exiled and locked up indians political prisonners.
Now people are peaceful and life is cool in this very nowhereland

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @Popinard Exactly! Those same people will have to take your butt down the mountain when something happens to you. Stop, smell the roses, the mountains will still be there. #TRLT You may learn something that could save your life.

#trlt A4: I got stuck on the small Orkney island of Papa Westray for three days because of a combination of fog, Covid regulations, and it being a weekend. 4x1 miles in area, about 60 people live there.
Was fabulous :)

@TheTravelCamel This is true as fas as Crete is concerned : the northern part of the island is filled with campings, hotels and resorts for tourists.
But if you go to the southern coast there aren't many people. #TRLT

A4: Our Skye-Lewis (Harris) ferry was rerouted to go from Ullapool on the mainland. We drove 150 miles off the island and up the coast, to be told it was a 2am departure. We went to Inverness instead and never got to Lewis. Here are some Skye pics. @LindaPeters64 #TRLT

A4: I encountered incredibly rough seas on the ferry to Malaita Island in the Solomon Islands. Once past this hurdle, I was rewarded with the serene beauty of Langa Langa Lagoon. #TRLT

A4: Islands are beautiful, but can be a challenge to visit & stay. One island misadventure was when I took a friend from Toronto, to visit Salt Spring Island w/o realizing the return ferry ran from the other side of the Island. We had to hitch a ride as no bus was running.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A4: Love lemurs in Madagascar. But I almost got gored by a zebu, a humped cattle with horns, while innocently standing by my bicycle hoping to grab lunch. (My guide was oblivious.) A young boy, who was supposed to keep track of his cattle, intervened. #TRLT

A4 #TRLT I don’t know what I did to flag Canada Customs, but the 3 times I’ve entered through Vancouver Island, twice I’ve been stopped for more extensive questioning. Worth the trip though.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @LindaPeters64 A4. I guess that it’s a toss up between a bike trip to Tsushima in a typhoon with no overnight reservations or getting severely sunburned in Okinawa..both very memorable island trips for positive reasons too. More positive as time goes on haha. No pics from those handy. 🤓 #TRLT

A4: After taking the ferry to Skye, we were on the bus to Portree. Along the narrow road, a truck carrying massive concrete pipes was coming the other direction. Both drivers slowed to a crawl, but it wasn't enough, & the concrete pipe edge shattered a couple of bus windows #TRLT

A4: The Channel Island of Alderney can be prone to fog. Our (very small) plane back to Southampton on the mainland was postponed for a day. Not a major disaster. [pics by @HMatthews67] @LindaPeters64 #TRLT
