Colorful Bac Ha market.
Bắc Hà is a rural district of Lao Cai province in the Northeastern region of Vietnam. It is the capital of the region of the Flower h'mong, one of the 54 minorities of Vietnam and of the 6 groups of h'mong people. It is famous for its Sunday morning market, where thousands of locals gathered, the women dressed in their very intricate hand-made costumes (it takes 3 to 5 months to embroider one by hand), as well as for the Saturday morning smaller market of Can Cau, 18 km north of Bac Ha. The town is enjoying an economic boom thanks to tourism, centered around the markets and, more and more, excellent trekking in the mountains north of the town. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bac_Ha
Over the past 7 days, we’ve been cruising from island to island in the Galápagos. Most of the time, we moved during dinner or overnight while the engines hummed in the background. And no, we didn’t see it all—just the eastern islands. The entire western part of the archipelago will have to wait… a perfect excuse to come back someday.
Some crossings were short, just an hour or two. Others stretched from 7 to 9 hours. And while seasoned sailors might laugh, the sea was rough enough to keep us from editing photos—or even eating soup without a splash.
This shot was taken while crossing from Sullivan Bay (Santiago Island) to Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz. It was a dramatic end to another unforgettable day at sea.
When we first arrived at Bachas Beach via a wet landing, we didn’t know if we’d get to see them. But soon after setting foot onshore, two American flamingos flew overhead—a clear sign they were nearby. Following their direction, we hiked to one of the small inland ponds on Santa Cruz Island, where we found them wading and filter-feeding. Their pink color comes from the crustaceans in their diet—one of many remarkable adaptations in the Galápagos ecosystem.
The story of Bacha Coffee begins in the medina of Marrakech, Morocco. Built in 1910, the spectacular Dar el Bacha palace, which means “house of the Pasha”, united the greatest cultural and political minds of the century over glittering pots of “coffee of Arabia” or Arabica, as it is known today. Guests included the writer Colette, composer Maurice Ravel, filmmaker Charlie Chaplin, entertainer Josephine Baker, US president Franklin Roosevelt and UK prime minister Winston Churchill, to name a few.

We weren't sure if we'd see them when we first set foot on Bachas Beach by wet landing. But after a short walk inland to one of the island’s many ponds, there they were: a small group of American flamingos, elegantly wading and filter-feeding in the shallows. Their pink color comes from the crustaceans they consume, a perfect match for the vivid life of the Galápagos.
This land iguana was photographed on the northern coast of Santa Cruz Island, near Bachas Beach (0°24′7.15″ S, 90°17′8″ W). After the rains, the dry volcanic landscape briefly turns green, and the iguanas cautiously move through the new vegetation. Unlike the marine iguanas that dive into the sea for algae, land iguanas live entirely on land. They feed on cactus pads and other dry plants, and their thick skin helps them handle the heat and rugged terrain. In this peaceful moment, partly hidden among the leaves, the iguana shows a gentler side — perfectly at ease in its island home.
Also known as the Museum of Confluences, and originally an 18th century palace.
This palace was built for Pacha Thami El Glaoui, also known as the Lord of the Atlas, who ruled over Marrakesh from 1912 to 1956. It is one of the medina's finest examples of riad architecture, dripping with zellige (colourful geometric tilework), intricate white plasterwork and heavy carved cedar-wood lintels, and opened to the public in 2015 as the Museum of Confluences.
