My favorite place

1,950-m. Mt. Olympus with British radar dome ca. 1985 or 1986 in Cyprus' Troodos Range, where I loved to go hillwalking and spent many nights under the stars.

Special experience

Mina tent city near Mecca 

During Haj at Mina outside Mecca with a Pakistani acquaintance, January 10, 1973 (How I got there: see my post "How it all began - my first journeys" at the bottom of this page ). Also see:
