Today's travel photo is of a grotesque looking out over Paris from the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral. Climbing to the top of Notre Dame was one of the best things that we did in Paris. Not only are the views amazing, but you get up close and personal with the amazing architecture of the [...]
Sydney is the most well known city in Australia for a reason - it's just a wonderful place to visit! I've been to Sydney a few times now and it is one of those places that I never seem to get sick of. There is always something to do and it never fails to impress. [...]
Today's travel photo is of the entrance courtyard inside Hampton Court Palace in England. Hampton Court was built in the 16th century for King Henry VIII and much of the architecture of the original palace remains unchanged. The following century, King William III and Queen Mary expanded the palace to try and rival Versailles. Today, [...]

Chiang Saen is a town situated in the very north-western corner of Thailand, close to the area known as the Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet. This photo looks across the Mekong to Laos [...]
I consider myself lucky for the fact that I live in one of the greatest travel destinations in the world - Australia. It has to be one of the most diverse countries to visit, and over the years I have seen quite a lot of it. Even though I have crossed the country and travelled [...]

Blue skies and sun shined down upon us as we stepped out of Waterloo Station for a day of sightseeing in London. Although still cold in the shadows of the buildings, out in the sun it was nice and warm and I removed my jacket, possibly for the first time since I landed in England. [...]
Today's travel photo is of some people trading from their boats on the Mekong River at Cai Rang Floating Market in Can Tho, Vietnam. Although it is no longer the huge market that it once was, Cai Rang is still a hive of activity with traders coming from all over the Mekong Delta and upstream [...]
Today's travel photo is of the Ancient Roman Walls at the roman ruins in Silchester, England. This photo might look like an ordinary English farm paddock, but the stone wall on the right is nearly 2000 years old, built as defense of the Roman town of Calleva Atrebatum. The town itself dates back even further [...]
Just north of Newbury in Berkshire, stands the ruins of a castle I had never heard of. It took a drive to the small village of Donnington, down a quiet village lane to a typical English field to discover what remains of a 14th century castle. Donnington Castle was built in the 1380's for Sir [...]
