Myths Truth or False

A story of the ages born out of a small village in central Kenya,an area at the foothills of the Aberdare mountains an area of high skies,green vegetation,plush bushes and tall immense trees,criss-crossed by meandering streams and a river with a modest waterfall.This ancient land bares many ancient myths and stories of god like creatures that roam the land,instill fear on it’s human inhabitants and are part and parcel of the landscape,meaning that every grain of grass,soil or otherwise has been touched by these mythic creatures.

These creatures known to the Kikuyu people,africans that migrated to this area centuries ago are known as Irimu.Creatures that in reality are giants of different shapes and sizes,creatures with two,three heads,tails,large eyes and carnivorous teeth but are also known to take the likelihood of humans or any other creation in the area.

This is a story of trust,culture and morals,a story of self discovery and it starts in the month of October in the year 1950 where a British settler and his family nestled in a large farm in an area known as Muranga are expecting a visitor an American scholar who was going to try and uncover the mystery of the Irimu.A writer and researcher of African tribal Myths,Devlin Forster had travelled vastly within the African continent and had just concluded a lengthly project in Rhodesia( now Zimbabwe ) and had come across the Kikuyu Irimu myth through a man servant,a kikuyu from this same area of Muranga now working in a farming community in the country.Having decided to look into the matter Devlin contacted a friend in Nairobi,Kenya who in turn introduced him to the Mcoy family,the British settlers.The Mcoy’s accepted his proposal of staying at their farm for a while so that he could do an extensive research on the myth.The Mcoy’s who had owned and operated the land for over 110 years and knew the locals well,had heard of the Irimu myth,they had never belived the stories but knew well enough to respect the beliefs and customs of the kikuyu and did not dwell on it or even give a hint of disputing the matter.

Devlin thought it strange that he was going to start his new project in the month of October,haloween festivities practiced in his homeland were in full swing,ah! how he was going to miss it all.

Upon arrival at the Mcoy settlement Devlin immediately embarked on his research,having been refered to an old woman who was well versed in the myth.Wairimu as she was known,was part of a clan known for it’s spiritual and occult activities a revered clan among the kikuyu people.Meeting Wairimu was a thrill for Devlin,he noted how frail she looked but was impressed by her energy and vigor.When he sat down on the wooden stool provided to him in her smoke filled hut,he noted all the wood and stone charms adoring the floor and walls.Wairimu explained that they represented all the Irimu’s that she had encountered in her lifetime and that each one of them contained a little bit of each individual Irimu’s spirit.Devlin in turn told her that they looked very much like gargoyles and other creatures that people from his home wore when celebrating haloween.In return Wairimu stated that maybe the celebration was for one and the same Irimu’s of her homeland.Devlin found it quite preposterious that this would be the case.Wairimu told Devlin that in order for him to have a good hold on his research he will have to face an Irimu in person at a designated place and time and to his astonishment she stated that the Irimu were expecting him and have been for quite a long time now.Devlin found her statement funny,that this old primitive woman would want to scare him or even make him think that this mythic creature was real.How preposterous he thought as Wairimu continued by pointing towards the direction of the area where he would venture,an area miles away across the Abadere mountains,dense forests and small streams the place where he would meet an Irimu and Irungu her grandson would be his guide.

Although Devlin felt that this was going to be a wild goose chase,he trusted Wairimu and because for the first time he had been challenged towards meeting the real thing,he felt compelled to see it through.In all his research he had never had someone tell him so confidently that he would meet the subject in question,so he accepted the challege not because the thought that it would lead to something real,but because her conviction in the reality of this Irimu would make good writting material and the journey in itself would also provide some great insight of this ancient land.

Devlin found Irungu his guide to be ignorant and a bore,mostly because he Irungu did not talk much and his answer to each of his questions was glib and without definition as he wished it to be.Devlin concluded that he did not know as much as his grandmother had made it out to be.The journey in itself was trying and long,Irungu walked infront,saying nothing much in his broken english,this frustrated Devlin who got most of his insight on things through constructive conversations,his only consolation was that he knew that he would get to his destination in the end.The landscape was a wonderfull sight,Devlin noted how natural and primitive it looked,how creation can be so beautifull,how nature has the capability of uplifting ones spirit and imagination.There were plants,animals and insects in abundance,creatures he never imagined even existed,it felt good despite his current company.The days were hot but comfortable,the nights warm and felt even better,Irungu knew where he was going and like clockwork knew when it was time to rest or put up camp for the night.

On the thirteenth day of as a matter of factly Irungu anounced that they had come to their journey’s end.

The village was small with a few huts scattered around a small area,there were no children playing around infact there was not a soul in sight and this was very parculiar because this was not the norm when one comes across an afican village in the late afternoon.Devlin made Irungu aware of his observation but all he got from him was a deep grunt.Devlin obsetrved a mist an odd looking mist hovering above the whole village,a gray mist with spotty white specks all over it, and a distinctive rainbow running on top,curious how low to the ground the rainbow was,Devlin had never seen anything like it and the only thing he could think of was that there must be some scientific reason.Irungu sat his belongings right outside the village area and made a fire,he also sat some figurines on the ground around the fire.When Devlin asked Irungu why he had done so,the answer he got back was that single grunt.Meanwhile nobody came out of the village to greet them and it was still and very quiet,Devlin in frustration conluded that he indeed had ventured on a wild goose chase,he tried to walk towards the village but Irungu stopped him,scolding Devlin in anger,letting him know that it was not time.

Darkness set in and as the night went on,Devlin noted how much warmer it felt at this particular place and how much he felt at peace,indeed it was better than any of the nights before,he could not even remember a night that felt better in his life.At dawn Devlin was woken up by Irungu’s incoherrent chanting,a mumbling of words he could not comprehend,what he saw when he finaly opened his eyes drove him into a dark abyss of unconciousness,he had never been so shocked in his life.Around staring down on him was his father now dead three years and his grandfather who he had only seen on a photograph,how could this be? This was too much to bare,he felt light headed as a warness came across his whole body and then there was nothing.

When he awoke,Devlin was alone on a cot in a dark space,with a flicker of a fire going,he looked around and noted that he was in a hut and apart from the fire and the cot that he lay on the hut was bare.He stood up with unease his legs shaky,thinking about the image he had seen of his dead father and grandfather and concluded that he had imagined it or dreamt it all.None of his belongings were in the hut and annoyed he figured that his guide Irungu had drugged him with the food he had provided,robbed him of his property and thus the bad dream and hallucinations.Devlin finding strength walked outside in anger and ready to do battle.He was set back with what he saw,sitting facing the hut he had just walked out of was his father and grand father accompanied by twenty-five other people he could not recognize.Irungu stood behind them all,the only one standing,while the rest sat in a semi circle a fire lit in the middle,Devlin felt faint again but managed to keep himself out of darkness with the help of a voice so familiar,his father’s voice,calling on him to sit down on a wooden stool in the middle by the fire.He must be still be dreaming Devlin thought but it all seemed too real.

It’s time,Devlin heard his father utter,it’s time for you to die as you are so that you can live as you realy are and Irimu,the Irimu in you must live.What?What is he talking about,dying me die!Why should Devlin have to die,what Irimu what kind of nonsense is he talking about?

Devlin my son,he heard that so familiar voice say,you have always been and always will be an Irimu,we come from a very long line of Irimu’s and dying today does not mean dying in the sense of the mortal human death,but the death of the mortal so as to gain your immortallity as an Irimu,you can always change yourself into human form but your Irimu self will become the dominant form.As this words reached him everyone else except Irungu began to change and transform into gigantic creatures all of them including his father and grandfather began this hidious transformation,his father with two heads,his grandfather with a head of a scorpion.The larger they got they gushed out vomit that rested well onto Devlin and in turn he felt better than he had ever felt,stronger with a vison so clear so vivid,he felt his hands shake while feeling the changes taking place in and around his body,Devlin heard himself scream and not with a voice he recognized,he looked at Irungu who was jumping up and down,Irungu Irungu what is happening to me? Irungu shouting back,Devlin i just brought you back home,Wairumu and i are the gurdians of your kind,the Irimu,live well Irimu my job is done as Devlin noticed his third head pop out of nowhere.

The City of Mandaue is located
on the central coastal plains of the province of Cebu.

It is a suburb of Cebu City and was founded in April 7, 1521, when a “Cove of Cebu,” called Mandawe, was sighted by a Spanish expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan.

Historically, Mandaue got its name from thick, clinging vines known as “mantawi” which were plentiful in the early times, even before the coming of the Spanish conquistadores.

During these times, the city, with its eastern and southern borders facing the Mactan Strait, was already referred to as the “merchants’ paradise.”

The major economic points within the area were already interlinked with several crude transportation networks.

Mandaue became a chartered city on June 21, 1969 through republic act 5519.

Since then, investors and businessmen have favored the bustling metropolis, not only because it is the “Furniture Capital of the Philippines.”

Mandaue has a long history of commerce. It was once a busy port where merchants traded and conducted business.

Today it is a modern metropolis with incredible energy, incredible entrepreneurs, and enterprising and talented people.

On April 7, 1521, high noon, Magellan first sighted a harbor and its bay called Mandawe, upon entry to the island of Sugbo (Cebu) in search for food and supplies for his voyage back to Spain.

The Mantawi Festival is a rediscovery of the city’s rich cultural past. Its historical past affirms its present identity as a highly urbanized industrial center and a new tourism destination where arts and culture become tools for progress and prosperity.

The historical parade of street dancing and floats unfolds the history of Mandaue. Participants from neighboring cities, municipalities, companies, students, teachers and school officials from public and private schools and some government employees together perform historical performances from its discovery in 1521 up to 2007.

Cheap Airport Hotels. London has a reputation for expensive hotel accommodation with very little cheap budget hotels. OK so what is cheap. For the purposes of this article lets define cheap as below 100$US per night, (60 pounds sterling in local currency) for a standard double/twin room with all taxes paid.

Most of the hotel accommodation in this bracket is termed ‘bed and breakfast’ hotels. This can be misleading to the unaware. No it’s not a cosy family owned guest house with personal attentive hosts, traditional English breakfasts and home-made offerings, commonly available outside London. The vast majority are small hotels with 20-50 rooms, staffed by immigrants on very low salaries with very simple rooms, seldom lifts and ‘continental breakfasts’. That is not to say that these establishments should be avoided, but there are an awful lot of poor quality ones.

The main cheap hotel districts in London are Bayswater, Victoria and Kings Cross. Here you will see lots of these bed and breakfast hotels together in clusters. An ensuite double or twin room with breakfast in these areas is around 70-100$US

Kings Cross has a poor reputation, it used to be notorious for drugs, crime and prostitution. That is all largely behind it now and it’s a district on the up, the whole area is being rejuvenated and Eurostar Trains will terminate at Kings Cross station in 2007. The bed and breakfast hotels are all around a garden square immediately opposite Kings Cross Station. Kings Cross is no more than a mile from the West End, the central entertainment area of London, and there’s lots of public transport on your doorstep.
Bayswater is on the northern border of Hyde Park, London’s biggest, and within a mile are Oxford Street, Kensington Palace and Paddington Station, (terminus for the Heathrow Express airport link. Bayswater is a traditional budget area and a great place to stay for the cost conscious traveller. Bayswater High Street (Queensway) is host to a great variety of economical restaurants and shops. Everyday supermarkets, launderettes etc are commonplace.

Victoria is very central, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye are all within walking distance. The cheap hotels are south of the railway station, stretching from the coach stations to Pimlico Underground. The area is pleasant and safe.

Room rates are highly variable. In the depths of winter, rooms may be discounted as low as 50 US$, but be warned these tend to be of the hotels of the worst kind. Most of the hotels will also discount less at the weekend.

Some of the better bed and breakfasts include the Montana Excel and Howard Winchester Hotels in Kings Cross, the Central Hotel in Victoria and the Blakemore and Annur Hotels in Bayswater. Some of these may be advertised as three star hotels - beware in small print you may notice the words ’self rated’.

Ladera, a stylish eco lodge is perched on a ridge 1,100 feet above sea level and has been described as a preview with a room and it is the place to view the famous Piton of St Lucia panoramas, especially at sunset. Ladera is also one of the most perfect spots for not only a holiday in St Lucia but also for a St Lucia Honeymoon.

The position of Ladera on St Lucia is the key. It is two miles from the sleepy port of Soufriere up a very steep hill, and it looks as if it is built into the hilltop. Its height and position are responsible for some of the most breathtaking views from any airport hotel accommodation in the world. Imagine the forest with the sea underneath, the sheer dominance of the two Pitons rising from the sea.

There are six villa suites and twenty one suites at Ladera, and each one has what can best be described as airport hotel accommodation with an open wall, giving the impression that they are open air. Each suite therefore has the most stunning uninterrupted views.

In a way the design of the suites makes the one side that is completely open to elements almost part of the door. They are really only three walled rooms, but totally sheltered from any storms.

Imagine a beautiful polished wood interior with a step down to a terraced garden, pool surrounded by flowers, and beyond that the view, the glorious view to die for.

Safety is paramount, and the suites are both safe and totally private, each quality hotel reservation with its own plunge or villa pool. The lack of children as it is an adult only resort just adds to the tranquillity and the lack of safety gates!!

Ladera is the first ever Caribbean quality hotel reservation to classify at number one in the Conde Naste Traveller ratings, and is the kind of resort that travellers dream about. It is hard to visualize a world acclaimed small lush tropical gem that is still virtually unknown. This is an expensive destination but for paradise you must expect this.

Any discount hotel luxury resort needs an award winning restaurant, and Ladera as befits the top Luxury resort in St. Lucia is no exception. Dasheene the resort’s award winning terrace restaurant opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner specializing in nouvelle cuisine using organic farming based products. The views from the restaurant terrace are quite breathtaking especially at sunset. The views from the Tcholit cocktail lounge is no less fantastic and it also features live music.

What will strike you more than anything when you stay at Ladera is that you have to see it to believe it. There is every reason to read up on destinations before you go, but often beach hotels luxury described as out of this world are in fact a disappointment. Not so here at Ladera, where the tag of the best Luxury Hotel in St Lucia, the perfect spot for a Honeymoon in St Lucia do not in fact do the place justice.

Many guests who arrive in the late evening get their first view of the Pitons when they wake in the morning. It is heart stopping, and everything else about Ladera merely confirms that the choice made for your St Lucia Holiday Hotel was absolutely the best one.

Many people fantasise about it, but much less people take the steps to making it a reality. Getting all your living essentials stuffed into the back of a campervan, saying your farewells to your loved ones and hitting the road with only basic plan of time and direction. There are things you can see and places you can go in a campervan that you simple wouldn’t have experienced if you’d stuck with bog standard holidays, so what are the essential things to get right.

Van. There have been some nightmare stories of people failing to taking out reliable van lease deals and the van dying within the first few miles.You obviously do not want the same thing to be happening on your trip so it’s usually best to buy a van and have it serviced by someone you trust, or hire/lease a van from a company that have a good reputation. Mercedes van leasing is a pretty good option as these vans are pretty sturdy and rarely break down, but always give them a good drive before you set off on your trip just to make sure everything works properly.

Money. You may think that you have budgeted for every eventuality, but you really can never know what is going to happen. Take some cash for the basic requirements such as gas, food and drink, but also have some reserves safe. It makes a lot of sense to keep some cash for emergencies and things that you can’t plan for, such as having to pay for a new windscreen after a bird decides to try and fly through it. It is also worth taking a credit card for times when you need to get your hands on larger sums of money.

Time. So you’ve got your Citroen van leasing sorted, you’ve packed it all up, now all you need is a relaxed state of mind. There is no point trying to keep to a strict time plan and itinerary because on camper van holidays you are at the will of many different factors, including traffic, weather and a whole of other things. If you can free yourself from time you’ll have a much better one for sure.

The split image of Costa Brava has been created because of a few select villages on one edge of the island that cater to the ‘sun, sand, sangria’ mindset of a small group of tourists. The REAL Costa Brava is a relaxing, multi faceted area that has everything from the ultimate in relaxation and spa treatments to architecture and other sights, Costa Brava has it all for the discerning holiday maker. With between160- 200km’s of coastline in the Catalania province in North East Spain, the climate is more temperate and cooler than further south towards the islands of Ibiza and Majorca.

Costa Brava hotels reflect the diverse difference between the two groups of tourists. There are hotels in Costa Brava that cater more towards the younger (and young a heart) tourists who are there simply for a good time, then there are costa brava hotels that are more upmarket and have a different demographic in mind. The Costa Brava hotels catering for the younger set offer a more budget friendly and basic accommodation than the more exclusive spa hotels. If staying in any Costa Brava hotels doesn’t appeal you could think about staying in a Costa Brava apartment. Although a hotel environment can give you a good “base” for all your essential accommodation needs, an apartment in Costa Brava will give you more privacy and less restrictions. It can also save you money if you’re going in a group.

Nearest to France, the resort of Roses is a beautiful continental hub with a vibrant mix of Spanish and French culture, which gives a fresh, continental vibe to the area, while the almost unspoilt Calella, to the North-east of Barcelona gives a less ‘touristy’ feel to any holiday and goes beyond the basic staples of a Spanish holiday. Nearby Roses, in Figueres, you can visit the birthplace of the surrealist artist Dali. The Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí, designed by Dali and his wife, is also situated in Figueres.
