Hitch Hiker's Guide to Lemuria

"I looked forward to going to Europe all my life - then at 37 I got the opportunity to visit friends in Amsterdam. I prepared as best I could, saving money, reading travel guides, got a Dutch-English handbook, packed, brought gifts from America, got on the long plane ride, and finally, we touched down at Schipol Airport half an hour early. There was a mix-up about what gate my friends were to meet me at - so there I was, in a foreign country, not knowing the language, with an atrocious thick Yankee accent, before the days of cell phones, alone, and terrified. I didn't know what to do next. The Dutch strangers were very kind and tried to help, but it was a panicky hour before I found my friends at the right gate, and I could calm down and begin my adventures."

New traveller, Kerry Vincent, says that this is how she felt as she stepped in to the whirl wind world of le Enchanteur and Lemuria. This lens is here to provide a kind of Lonely Planet Guide to Lemuria. Hopefully it will ease some of the initial panic.
