SAN PEDRO SPAIN


Another traveller friendly place in spain ,San pedro hippie beach situated near san jose in gabo de gata southern spain,This place is an abandoned village that was occupied by hippies since the 60s it is a little cove with its own beach where people live in homemade constructions .It is a great place to spend a couple of chilled out weeks on the beach you can make a fire or spend your days wandering naked on the beach a free place and a must if you are travelling spain this summer.I have spent many happy weeks here a good tip for san pedro is bring a good supply of food with you because the nearest shop is a few kilometres away.It is a bit difficult to find and a bit of a hike across the hills so it is best to ask directions in san jose where can be found more friendly crustys.

2700 year old marijuana found in chinese tomb

OTTAWA – Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.


The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly ``cultivated for psychoactive purposes," rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.
The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.
The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour

Alemendras stone circle ,portugal



                                                 There are only two latitudes in which the Moon's maximum declination is the same as the latitude, meaning that at its maximum elongation it goes through the zenith (directly overhead). These two latitudes are 38˚ 331 N (Almendres), and 51° 10' N (Stonehenge

The Almendras stone circle in portugal situated between lisboa and badajoz is a wicked park up if ever there was one.The circle is in the middle of  nowhere and here can be found a nice quiet park up.I have known people to have stayed there for the whole summer .
