Ride

These are some of my favorite rides from my travels. Click on lavender words:

Paris metro rides

Ride up the Eiffel Tower

Japanese bullet train (shinkansen) ride from Tokyo to Kyoto, past Mt. Fuji

Train/Gondola ride up Mount Pilatus, Switzerland

Sights along the road on the ride to Kandy, Sri Lanka (missing are the elephants, cattle, and water buffalo)

Maglev Train, 6 minute, 300 mph ride from Shanghai to Pudong Airport

Ride down Lombard Street, San Francisco

Ride on the Chain of Craters Road Through Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii

Car ride for 12 miles on 90 mile beach, North Island, New Zealand. Here's a 19 second clip of motorcycles. Awesome.

Helicopter ride over Fox Glacier, South Island, New Zealand

Balloon ride to watch the sun rise, Virginia

Train ride up Victoria Peak, Hong Kong

Glider ride, Vermont
Riding in a sea kayak through a forest of kelp in Monterrey Bay, past rafts of sea otters and curious seals.

We were able to view these active, curious creatures up close.

Disclaimer, except for the first two photos, none of the pix or videos are mine.
