“…straight out of a Dali painting” – very enticing description. I think one of the closest places I’ve seen that might fit is parts of Iceland strangely enough.

One of the coolest things I saw was in Israel. When in Jerusalem on a high hill, you can look east and basically just straight down with your chin almost against your chest and see The Dead Sea. It’s the lowest point on the earth’s elevation and the drive there is like straight out of a Dali painting. Highly recommended.

That sounds amazing – I think more than fish I’d want to see shipwrecks 🙂 Have a good trip!

I first dived the wreck in January this year and was blown away by it. Even now, years after lots of items have been salvaged, it is still an underwater museum. The holds are still full of jeeps, motor bikes and rifles and there are train engines hanging over the sides. I just loved the history of it and can’t wait to see it again in a couple of weeks!

Hi Harrison, I haven’t done a lot of traveling in SE Asia but you and Stephen have already put two good sites for me to check out. I love that style of architecture, probably why I find Baron Empain Palace in Cairo and Akshardham Palace in New Delhi so visually appealing.
