Continuing on our Malibu Journey....

When visiting Malibu, you can stay at a hotel to relax and renew your mind, body and spirit. There are multiple hotels that range in price from $86 a night to $2,945! One I might like to stay at is the Malibu Country Inn which is a 3 star hotel.





Okay so we booked the hotel and now you may be wondering what there is to do in Malibu! You can take a wine tour that lasts 3 hours! Here you can explore the vineyards, organic gardens, Chumash Native American cave paintings and more at Malibu Wine Hikes. You can also see the wildlife here such as giraffes and zebras.







There is also a 3.5 hour exclusive Malibu stars homes and beautiful beach tour which is by bus. The tour includes a stop at the Adamson House which allows time to walk the grounds, get your feet sandy on Surfrider Beach, snap some pictures of the Malibu pier, or do some local shopping at the Malibu Country Mart. You will see these celebrity homes on the tour: Leonardo DiCaprio, Lana Del Ray, Robert Downey Junior, Matt Groening, Mel Brooks, Lou Adler, Simon Cowell, Dr. Dre, Cher, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez, Matthew Perry, Rihanna and more.

I enjoyed it!    We have landed!    Plitvice Lakes, Croatia, is an UNESCO world heritage site and a National Park. Over thousands of years, these waters deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which in turn have made the beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls here today. These geological processes continue today, and the park is home to bears, wolves and rare bird species. Covering almost 30,000 hectares, the National Park is located in the lower elevations of the Dinarides (the Dinaric Alps) in the central part of the country. The Plitvice Lakes fascinate scientists and visitors and are in a mix of forests and meadows.

It is considered a failure because it failed in providing affordable housing. Habitat 67 was financed by the federal government, but is now owned by its tenants, who formed a limited partnership that bought the building from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation in 198...
