# Plastira Lake

The famed Lake Plastira lake, the lake for all seasons, is situated in the Thessaly region.

## Understand

The lake is named after Nikolaos Plastiras, a former Prime Minister of Greece, and lies some 30 km west of Karditsa town. To be precise the lake is actually artificial, a reservoir created after the building of an immense arch-shaped dam which stands some 83 m high and measures some 200 m in length.
Lake Plastira is situated in the Agrafa Mountains and is a jewel in the crown, not only of the Prefecture of Karditsa, but also all of Greece. All villages surrounding the lake, such as Neohori, Mesenikolas, Morfovouni, Kerasia, Kalyvia Pezoula, Neraida, Belokomitis, Kastania, Lambero, and many others, are truly charming.

# Teller

Teller is a city near Nome in Arctic Alaska. It had a population of 237 in 2019, and is on the edge of a large bay, close to the Bering Strait.

## Understand
### Location

Teller is very close to the Bering Strait, specifically on a sandbank which borders Imuruk Basin. The town is connected to Nome via the Nome-Teller Highway. To the north of Teller is the town of Brevig Mission (population 400), although there is no road connecting the towns.
Teller is surrounded by hills and mountains, adding to the remoteness of its location. However, there is an airport in Teller.

### History

Being in Arctic Alaska, the area was sparsely settled by Native Americans until the 20th century. Around 1900, the town, along with Nome and other towns in that region of Alaska, became large cities and trading posts. Teller reached a population of 5,000 for a few years.
By the time the census was taken in 1910, however, the population of Teller had dramatically decreased to about 100. The drop in population continued, decreasing to just 76 in 1930. The population has grown to 237 at the 2019 census.

### Climate

Teller is in a continental subarctic climate. Therefore, daily highs in summer are in the 50s (Fahrenheit), and winter temperatures are around zero degrees. However, summer temperatures can pass 80 °F (27 °C) in summer, and approach -40 °F/C in winter.
For tourists who are used to warmer weather, the best months to visit Teller are in June, July, and August.

## Get in
### By car

The Nome-Teller Highway connects Nome and Teller. Although this road is open only in summer, cars can be rented from Nome to make the journey, which is a more than 70-mile (110-km) route along a dirt road.
As of 2017, no road connects Nome and Teller to the rest of Alaska.

### By air

Bering Air has twice daily flights to Teller through Nome (Alaska). it also operates to nearby communities.

### By foot or dogsled

The Iditarod Trail runs from nearby Nome to the town of Seward, in southern Alaska.

## Get around

Teller is not a large city. Although there are dirt roads in the city, the city should be easy to get around by foot.

## See

* 65.26181-166.3611 Norge Storage Site, Front Avenue. A historic building. (updated Dec 2017)

## Do

Take the Nome-Teller Highway: the 70-mile Nome-Teller Highway goes from Teller to Nome. Although it is a dirt road, it is a beautiful road which goes through mountain ranges, grasslands, and other natural features. From Nome, there is also the Nome-Council Highway which goes for scores of miles farther to the east.

## Sleep

There are no hotels in Teller.
# Tell Basta

Tell Basta (Bubastis) is southeast of the Delta township of Zagazig, approximately 80 km northeast of Cairo.

## Understand

This is the site of the old temple of Bastet the cat goddess. It became a royal residence after Shoshenq I, the first ruler and founder of the 22nd dynasty, became pharaoh in 943 BC. Bubastis was its height during this dynasty and the 23rd. It declined after the conquest by Cambyses II in 525 BC, which heralded the end of the Saite 26th dynasty and the start of the Achaemenid Empire. This is also a site of Christian pilgrimage, the Holy Family supposedly stopping here during their exile into Egypt.
It is not yet a tourist highlight, and the temple is basically in a complete state of ruin, although there are intact cat tombs, protected and preserved, that can be viewed. The tombs at Bubastis are the principal depository of cat mummies in Egypt.
Tell Basta is right next to a small military base. Egyptian officials are not fond of people walking near military bases with cameras at the best of times. The implications of this is that if you get there under your own steam, you may face problems with guards in explaining why you are not on an official tour, and why they were not notified in writing of your impending visit. If your driver is helpful, he will help you talk your way into the site. After buying your ticket, you will be followed by Tourist Police to ensure your safety. It is suggested you tip at the end of your visit, particularly as you are likely to get an armed police escort out of the township of Zagazig back onto the main highway.

## Get in
### By car

If not on a package tour, the best way to get there is by hiring a taxi for the day, or organising a private driver to take you. Be warned, even drivers that work in the tourist industry are not likely to know where the site is exactly and may rely on directions from the locals once in Zagazig. When you get to the roundabout in Zagazig, with the statue of Bastet in the middle, you know you are damn close.

Its original name was Fratta and for much of its history it has been under the control of Perugia. It received its present name in 1863 in honor of the then Crown Prince Umberto. Most of its attractions are also relatively recent.
