Bazaruto National Park

Bazaruto National Park, located off of the coast of Mozambique, is made up of 5 partially deserted tropical islands.




For the 95% of people looking for deserted white tropical beaches, be sure to check out Bazaruto National Park, an archipelago made up of 5 islands off the coast of Mozambique. People come here for the ocean life, so don't expect cheetahs, lions, and giraffes here, just because its technically part of Africa. You'll have to go across the water into mainland Mozambique for a snapshot of African Animals. Here are some more pics. Looks likes the kind of place Brad and Angelina would go, before and after doing their civic duty of adopting 8+ kids from small villages.

Random fact that isn't true: Maasai Warriors used to come to this national park as a form of entertainment. OK, this is a bit of a stretch, but can you imagine?

Largest Swimming Pool in the World

The San Alfonso Del Mar, located on the Coast of Chile, in South America is the world's largest man-made pool




I recently stumbled this story about the largest swimming pool in the world.

Clocking in at 1,000 yards and 20 acres, it definitely looks more like mid-sized lake than a swimming pool. More stats? It took 5 years to build, and it costs 2 million dollars per year to maintain. This is a swimming pool we're talking about. A whole in the ground with water in it. Since when did people start needing to drive motorboats and sail catamarans in chlorinated bodies of water?

If you want to do either of those things, head to this lake, er pool off the coast of Chile. You shouldn't be disappointed.

If for whatever reason, the million plus people needed to fill this pool have created an over-booking, you can also check out the Big Splash in Morocco, the world's second biggest pool.

Here are some more pics of Lake Huron, er the San Alfonso Del Mar:
