Sloane's July Adventure to Rome and Greece
Here is a very fun video that Sloane shot and edited all by herself! This is a great memory of her trip to Rome and Greece this past July 2015.
Sloane traveled with Blyth Academy, a private school in Toronto, Ontario Canada to Rome and then Greece. She took her Grade 12 English course and received her credit so that she won't have to take the course in the coming school year. What a great place to study
English!
Sloane went on the trip with her friends Olivia and Maddie and the three of them met a lot of new friends. You can see that they did a lot of stuff besides studying!
The trip started in Rome, Italy. There they toured the Vatican, Forum and many other places. After a week there they flew to Greece. Sloane had an awesome time on the sailboats and on the island Poros. From there she went to Kalamata, where the olives are from. Sloane loved sitting on her balcony and looking out at the sea while she worked on assignments. They finished the trip in Athens.

Beware These Worst Beaches for Shark Attacks!
Shark attacks seem to be on the rise in many parts of the world, therefore, you might want to steer clear of the following known shark-infested waters. Statistically, these are among the most dangerous beaches for deadly shark attacks.
1. Pernambuco, Brazil
The shockingly high attack rate in these waters appears to be due to over-fishing. Without enough food supply, the sharks have begun to sample other forms of fare to satisfy their relentless hunger.
2. Second Beach, South Africa
The beach is popular among shark-seeking tourists and cage divers. Tour operators dump boatloads of bloody chum in the water order to entice the great whites. You definitely don’t want to surf or swim anywhere near these boats and their chum lines.
3. New Smyrna Beach, Florida
More than 238 shark attacks have been documented at Florida’s (surprisingly) popular New Smyrna Beach. In fact, 15% of worldwide shark bites have occurred here. Most of the bites are courtesy of baby bull sharks that favor these waters. To date, none of the recorded attacks here have been fatal.
4. Velzyland Beach, Hawaii
About 41 different shark species that frequent Hawaii’s waters including aggressive specimens like bull sharks and great whites. The last fatal shark attack at this beach occurred in 1994 when a tiger shark attacked a surfer. More recent attacks on surfers have been reported, but none fatal.
5. New South Wales, Australia
This region, which includes famous Bondi Beach, has recorded more than 170 unprovoked shark attacks and more than 50 fatal attacks, and great white shark encounters are more common here than in other parts of the world. Due to the position of the continental shelf, swimmers and surfers are in close proximity of deep waters where these potential predators cruise.
6. Fletcher Cove, California
Fletcher Cove may be picturesque, but it is also the scene of 142 unprovoked shark attacks, including some recent fatalities. Scientists are convinced that the fish-strewn waters in this region are ideal feeding grounds for large predators like the great white.
7. Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
This island has had more than 10 attacks in a recent two-year period, three being fatal. This has prompted island officials to close the beaches to swimmers and surfers. Experts aren’t sure why the sharks are biting people with greater frequency.
8. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Since 2005, there have been more than fifty attacks. In fact, researchers have claimed that South Carolina’s waters are just as dangerous as Florida’s when comparing the swimmer-to-attack ratio. Their waters are attractive to species like tiger sharks and bull sharks.
9. Coffin Bay, Australia
The name says it all. Don’t swim here unless you fancy a meeting with a great white. Recently an abalone diver was attacked and killed by two great white sharks. His body was never recovered.
10. Surf Beach, California
A nineteen-year-old surfer was attacked and killed a few years ago by a great white shark believed to be 18 feet in length. The waters here are home to seals, which attract great whites in large numbers.

Point Farms to Conestogo Lake - Ontario Bike Tour #2 - Day 8 of 10
This video summarizes Day 8 of my 10 day solo bicycle trip along the shores of Lake Simcoe and Lake Huron in Southern Ontario, Canada. All of the clips in the video were filmed on Friday 27, 2018.
I exited Point Farms Provincial Park onto Highway 21 (Blue Water Highway) briefly heading north. I stopped for a quick breakfast at Burdan's Red Cat Farm Bakery. I made a right turn onto Gore Rd and headed east. Gore Rd eventually ends at Nile Rd and I headed South East. Eventually Nile Rd merges with Blyth Rd which took me across the Maitland River heading east. Before reaching the community of Auburn I turned right onto Baseline Rd/Maitland Terrance where I crossed from the Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh into the Municipality Central Huron. When I reached Hullett-McKillop Rd I turned left and continued South East. Eventually I crossed into the Municipality of East Huron and made a right turn onto Roxboro Line heading North East. I made a right onto Blyth Rd which took me into the community of Walton where I continued North East on Brussels Line. I passed over the G2G trail (Goderich to Guelph). I stopped for lunch in Brussels at the Jam Jar Pub and Eatery. I made a right turn onto Brandon Rd and headed South East through the community of Ethel. The road curves North East and becomes Molesworth Line. I made a right turn onto Browntown Rd. When I crossed Road 172 I left Huron County and entered North Perth, within Perth County. The name of the road changes to line 81 and I turned left onto Road 169 which took me through the community of Trowbridge. I then turned right onto Line 84 and continued South East until Wallace Ave S where I turned left which took me into the Community of Listowel. I explored up and down Main St then continued NE on Wallace Ave where I stopped at the Food Basics grocery store. I also grabbed a Vanila Chai Ice Frappe from McDonalds across the street. I turned right when I reached Line 87 and headed South East again. Along this road I observed many Mennonite (similar to Amish) farms with families in plain dress and produce for sale with signs saying No Sunday Sales. Eventually I crossed into Wellington County within the Township of Mapletown. The name of the road changes to Concession Rd 3 on the other side of the border. I turned left onto Wellington Rd 11 which took me to the entrance to Conestoga Lake Conservation Area.
Conestogo Lake was created when a flood control dam was built on the Conestogo River in 1958. This river flows into the Grand River, which eventually flows into Lake Erie near Dunnville, ON.
Strava for Day 8:
The bike I used for this trip is a New York made Linear Recumbent Bike which I believe is from around 2004. I carried my gear in 2 Giant Waterproof Panniers, and mounted my tent and sleeping pad on the top of the rack.

Papua New Guinea Travel Video
Papua New Guinea Travel Video - Travelling in PNG can be challenging. With almost no Travelism infrastructure and limited information available in books and on websites, it can feel like youre stepping into the great unknown. But this is exactly why travellers find this country so compelling. Nothing is contrived for Travelists and every experience is authentic - even the main island of Bougainville is a largely DIY travel experience. The striking natural beauty and myriad complex cultures offer some riveting and truly life-affirming experiences. The island of New Guinea, of which Papua New Guinea is the eastern part, is only one-ninth as big as Australia, yet it has just as many mammal species, and more kinds of birds and frogs. PNG is Australias biological mirror-world. Both places share a common history going back tens of millions of years, but Australia is flat and has dried out, while PNG is wet and has become mountainous. As a result, Australian kangaroos bound across the plains, while in PNG they climb in the rainforest canopy.
For a glimpse into PNGs fascinating tribal cultures, the Highlands is where you should head (the town of Tari is a good place to see traditional Huli wigmen), while the Central, Oro Milne Bay Provinces are home to gorgeous reefs and historic wartime sites - including the countrys foremost attraction, the Kokoda Track. Also part of these eastern provinces, and about as far off the beaten track as you can get, the DEntrecasteaux Islands are like the land that time forgot, mountainous, jungly and totally undeveloped. The gritty capital Port Moresby, on the other hand, is big and sprawling and even a bit intimidating until you get under its skin and see past the bad press.
PNG is one of earths megadiverse regions, and it owes much of its diversity to its topography. The mountainous terrain has spawned diversity in two ways: isolated mountain ranges are often home to unique fauna and flora found nowhere else, while within any one mountain range you will find different species as you go higher. In the lowlands are jungles whose trees are not that different from those of Southeast Asia. Yet the animals are often startlingly different -- cassowaries instead of tapirs, and marsupial cuscus instead of monkeys.
The greatest diversity of animal life occurs at around 1500m above sea level. The ancestors of many of the marsupials found in these forests were derived from Australia some five million years ago. As Australia dried out they vanished from that continent, but they continued to thrive and evolve in New Guinea, producing a highly distinctive fauna. Birds of paradise and bowerbirds also abound there, and the forest has many trees typical of the forests of ancient Gondwana. As you go higher the forests get mossier and the air colder. By the time you have reached 3000m above sea level the forests are stunted and wreathed in epiphytes. Its a formation known as elfin woodland, and in it one finds many bright honeyeaters, native rodents and some unique relics of prehistory, such as the giant long-beaked echidna. Above the elfin woodland the trees drop out, and a wonderland of alpine grassland and herbfield dominates, where wallabies and tiny birds, like the alpine robin, can often be seen. It is a place where snow can fall and where early morning ice coats the puddles.
