I saw quite a few hyenas while on safari in Tanzania, however it wasn't until I got to Ngorongoro Crater that I could get close enough to get a decent photo of one. There were several hyenas in this particular spot, mostly just lazing around in the grass near a herd of wildebeest. They were [...]
We were sad to leave our perfect location at Munglinup Beach, but it was time to move on and we were only heading to another beach called Cosy Corner, so how bad could it be? Continuing our journey west along the south coast of Western Australia, we made our way to the old port city [...]
While on Cat Ba Island in Vietnam, we took a boat tour to explore Halong Bay and the far less crowded Han La Bay. From the dock on Cat Ba Island, we were almost immediately travelling through the beautiful limestone karst islands of Han La Bay, where there is a large floating fishing village. Make-shift [...]
Is it weird that I actually like visiting cemeteries when I travel? Anyway, in Uralla, Australia, I did just that. We went to the old cemetery in town to see the grave of Captain Thunderbolt, an infamous bush ranger from the area, and what we found were a lot of very old gravestones from the [...]
It seemed as if we had been driving non-stop for weeks. The long drive across the Nullarbor had really tired us out, and now that we were finally in Western Australia, we were dying to find somewhere quiet to relax for a couple of days. From Norseman, we headed south towards the coast. Although I [...]
The Old Quarter of Hanoi, Vietnam is a hive of activity at any time of the day, but I find that it particularly comes alive at night. As I wandered down Hang Buom to go to the night market, I came across these ladies selling balloons on the street. I think it made for an [...]
Driving along the road at 110km per hour, I look out at the view through my windscreen. Around me there is nothing but stunted bushes and dry earth all of the way to the horizon, with not a single tree in sight. Ahead of me the straight road seems to run forever, disappearing into a [...]
I've been in Vietnam for a week now and am really liking the country so far. I took this photo in Hanoi when exploring the Dong Xuan Night Market in the Old Quarter. The night market runs along the street from the Dong Xuan Market all of the way to the busy roundabout at Hoan [...]
As the sun rose over the sea at Point Lowly, we packed up our camper van to hit the road again, heading south-west to continue our exploration of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. There was hardly a cloud in the sky as we headed into Whyalla, which was no surprise since the town receives three hundred [...]
I've always claimed that the best beaches in Australia are in Western Australia, but I thought that I was probably biased since it is my home state. When we camped at Munglinup Beach to the west of Esperance, however, I was certain that my claim was true. The beach is just beautiful, and on our [...]
