Today's travel photo is a panorama of Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang, Laos. I was so happy to be able to return to Luang Prabang recently, and it was even better this time because I got to take my wife with me. This gave me a great excuse to revisit some of the amazing [...]
Today's travel photo is of some Dragon Fruit growing at an orchard in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. A lot of people come to Southeast Asia and have no idea what this fruit is, and I was the same when I first came to the region a couple of years ago. Dragon Fruit certainly looks a [...]
When the weather turns bad while travelling to a beach destination, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope that the sun comes out. That's pretty much how we spent our time in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. I'm well aware of the risks taken when travelling to Southeast Asia in the off season. The fact [...]
Instead of putting up a travel photo today, I've decided to put up a photo of this amazing painting of a lioness and her cub by talented artist Jane Delaford Taylor. Titled "Wild Mother", Jane used one of my photos from my Up Close with a Pride of Lions post from Serengeti National Park in [...]
Today's travel photo is of some locals fishing on the Mekong River at sunset in Kratie, Cambodia. The town of Kratie was one of my favourite places in Cambodia, and it was a great way to end our stay in the country before we made our way into Laos. The main draw to the town [...]
Nha Trang is Vietnam's premier beach destination. Generally, I'm not all that interested in places like this, but after a couple of weeks of active travel in the country, I was glad to get some relaxing beach time. I was also surprised to find that there is more to Nha Trang than just lazing on [...]
Today's travel photo is of a beautiful starry night on the Nullarbor in Western Australia. I took this photo at our camping spot in a rest area near the end of our huge journey across the Nullarbor. The vehicle in this photo belongs to some other travellers who had just pulled up to camp for [...]
Today's travel photo is of the busy night market in Vientiane, Laos, just as it is getting going as the sun sets. The night market in Vientiane sets up along the river front each night from around sun set until late. When I first visited the city in 2011, this market was pretty small and [...]
The weather had turned bad as soon as we left Phnom Penh, but it was only really drizzle and the odd shower to start off with, and when we arrived in Kampot, it wasn't enough to bother us. The rain was never heavy enough to stop us from going out and looking around town, and [...]
Today's travel photo is a silhouette of a porter watching the sunset at Shira Hut on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. I took this photo while taking a short acclimatization walk from our camp on the Shira Plateau. The sunset from here was amazing, and this porter seemed to be enjoying it as well. The porters on [...]
