Tourist Traps

I came across some interesting news online. One fact is quite scary and that is that people have no clue how to spel the name PILANESBERG. Its a game reserve in the North West Province of South Africa and you will have a greater chance of viewing the big 5 than in The Kruger National Park. Kruger is much bigger and much dryer and I prefer a smaller park.

A definitive tourist trap are the curio shops. They are totally overpriced. You can buy the same stuff in the local supermarket or even at a flea market. My suggestion is to pass every shop which says CURIOS!

Have a look at some more sites:
