"Puma Punku"

"Puma Punku" is a fine temple area and is the part of Tiahuanacu complex which is found close to the city of La Paz. Puma Punku seems to be like the remains of a wharf or quay, as it seems that Lake Titicaca has extended beyond its current limits.

There is little to see but large stones on ground but a massive, four-part, now collapsed building. One of the construction blocks from which the pier seems to have been made weighs an estimated 440 tons and several other blocks laying about are between 100 and 150 tons"

It is in the position to the south from the Akapana may have been important because it gave a good view to a sacred mountain far to the east.

Kauri Cliff's Golf Course And Resorts

The Kauri Cliff of New Zealand's will provide an ultimate rebuttal to any pessimist. As there are many golf players and lovers who travel a day and a half to play golf.

Kauri Cliff is an isolated place which is located on the northernmost tip of New Zealand's North Island. Kauri Cliffs has a golf course which is eight-year-old and which is ranked #63 in the most recent Top 100 Courses in the World. Along with the golf course it has a lodge which is very beautiful and it is as good as the golf holes. And not to be surprised this lodge is on the Top 12 International Resorts last year.

Kauri Cliffs went to an outshine some years before with the Cape Kidnappers known as its sibling. But, it has regained its popularity from the absolute scenery and variety. It has vast, gigantic sheep-covered hillsides, pockets of tropical ferns, forest and marshland and remarkable beach coves dotted with wind-blasted, twisted trunks of trees, it's part Hawaii, part Ireland, part Monterey Peninsula which are very typical.

15 holes from the course which is alongside the Pacific Ocean is an astonishing total lack of expansion. On the back nine particularly it greets with stunning vistas of the Bay of Islands which has a series of small, jagged rocky outposts that pop out of the water and lend texture and definition to the whole scene.

"Borneo Monster "- A Gaint Snake

“Borneo Monster” is the name which has been reffered by LiveScience.com which has an exciting story and photographs. “Borneo Monster” is a huge snake-type creature in the Baleh River, which are taken by a helicopter by an unknown member of a flood disaster team member.

The local people say that it might be the legendary creature which was called as Nabu. Nabu is a dragon-type shape-shifting sea serpent. “Borneo Monster” photos are to be taken on land near a remote village.

Some reports have estimated the size of the creature and it is said to be around 100 feet long, but the photos predict that it might be much larger. It is also said that Scientists have found the fossil of a prehistoric snake said to be 43 feet long recently, again that creature would have been extinct for 60 million years.
