The holiday review website Zoover has released a list of the world's most dangerous destinations with the harbor city of Durban at the top.

The South African city of Durban is first on the list for being notorious for lack of personal safety.

Durban is followed by Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, which is known for its criminal activity and corruption.

"At first glance it appears to be a beautiful city but in reality it's polluted and we were robbed at gunpoint of our money, sunglasses and sports shoes in the Ipanema suburb," said traveler Jeroen van den Bos.

The third place goes to the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, described by many tourists as a crime-plagued city, which displays a large discrepancy between the wealthy and poor.

Playa El Agua beach on Venezuela's Margarita Island is fourth for its dangerous environment and armed robbers.

The Venezuelan capital of Caracas ends the list as a center of criminal activities, which are in most cases the result of poverty.

I don’t know what the hell Lula is up to these days. I don’t trust him, and I have a nagging suspicion he may be playing the equivalent of good cop/bad cop with Chavez, but their goal is still the same: Complete totalitarian leftist domination of the Americas.

Thanks for the warning. I’m planning on going to Rio in July. At least my friend is a Brazilian.
