Today's travel photo is of one of the ancient stone hallways inside Angkor Wat in Angkor, Cambodia. The sheer size of Angkor Wat is dramatic enough, not to mention the incredible preservation of the temple. This is just one tiny hallway in an enormous complex. Angkor Wat truly is one of the wonders of the [...]
Today's travel photo is of the view of the Harbour Bridge from The Rocks in Sydney, Australia. The Rocks is a beautiful and historic part of Sydney that is a great spot to go for a beer or two and a bite to eat, while looking out over the harbour. You certainly can't beat the [...]
From the window of my guesthouse in Chinatown, one of the first things I noticed was a building off in the distance with a huge, blue, star shaped roof. I had no idea what it was until I opened up my map of Kuala Lumpur and my Lonely Planet guide. That interesting building that I [...]
Today's travel photo is of the old bridge that crosses the river in Kampot, Cambodia. I found this bridge really interesting as it looks like three or four different bridges all connected together. I'm guessing that when one part has been destroyed by flooding it has been replaced by a completely different style and just [...]
Today's travel photo is of the spectacular cliffs of the Great Australian Bight, located on the Nullarbor Plain of South Australia. I took this photo during my recent road trip back across Australia from Perth to Brisbane. The scenery in this vast part of the country is just spectacular, and it is strange to see [...]
Chiang Mai is the first place I've ever stayed in a foreign country for longer than a couple of weeks. During my two months in this city in Northern Thailand I realised the benefits of an extended stay in one place. Once I had seen all of the popular tourist attractions, temples and markets, I [...]
Today's travel photo is of my shadow on the snow at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. At this point, I actually wasn't quite at the summit just yet, but I was almost there at over 5800 metres above sea level. Each step was difficult. The air is so thin that I had to stop [...]
Today's travel photo is of the busy central market in Kratie, Cambodia. Like most towns in Cambodia, Kratie's central market is the liveliest place in town. It's the place to go to buy everything that you need, from fresh produce and meat to clothes and household items. We stayed directly across from the market in [...]
It was strange to be in a big city again. I think the last time I had seen a skyscraper was back in Saigon, over four months prior. As the bus made its way through the outer suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, I realised that this really is a big city, with endless buildings, streets and [...]
Today's travel photo is of Masjid Jamek at dusk in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Masjid Jamek is one of the oldest mosques in Kuala Lumpur, built in 1909. It sits in the historic area of the city at the confluence of the Gombak and Klang rivers. I took this photo while walking from my guest house [...]
