Blogs, the Next Best Thing to Being There

Yesterday, while researching the setting for a new project, I discovered Travel Blogs. They can be a goldmine of information because they include timelines and actual experiences.

I learned that riding a bus from town A to town B takes two hours, and the hike from town B to the campsite is seven miles and mostly flat. Unfortunately, the pit toilets at the campsite are hideous. (That kind of information tends to be missing from touristy websites.)
