Today's travel photo is of the view of the Mekong River and cloud covered mountains in the village of Pakbeng, Laos. Pakbeng is the halfway point of the two day slow boat journey between Luang Prabang and the Thailand border crossing at Huay Xai, and it is certainly in a very scenic part of the [...]
If you've been following me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you'll probably know that I'm currently driving back across Australia from Perth to Brisbane. This is a quick trip, but we are still enjoying it and camping along the way. Today's travel photo is of our camp last night, camping under the stars just outside [...]
Today's travel photo is of the long wooden jetty at low tide in Port Germein, South Australia. Port Germein was once an important port due to it's jetty being long enough to reach deep enough water for sailing ships to dock. Back in 1883, when Port Germein was used for exporting bags of wheat from [...]
Today's travel photo is of some tasty chicken amok served in a coconut in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Amok is a traditional Cambodian coconut curry, and every one that I tasted while travelling through the country was completely different. When I ordered this one at a little restaurant in Siem Reap, I was surprised when it [...]
Today's travel photo is of a tranquil lake in the historic centre of Ayutthaya, Thailand. The ruins of the ancient city of Ayutthaya make for a great day of exploring. I took this photo after checking out the ruins of Wat Phra Ram. There are lots of scenic spots like this lake and parkland for [...]
Today's travel photo is of a giraffe eating from a tree in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. You can't see it in this photo, but the tree that the giraffe is eating from is covered in lots of nasty thorns. The thorns don't seem to bother the giraffes though, which I guess is thanks to [...]
Today's travel photo is of some people kayaking amongst the limestone karsts of Halong Bay in Vietnam. Halong Bay is certainly one of the highlights of any trip to Vietnam, even if it does get a bit crowded with tourists. The crowds can't take away the beauty of this spectacular place. Kayaking is usually included [...]
Today's travel photo is of two Kookaburras perched on a branch in Kurth Kiln Reserve in Gembrook, Australia. These two Kookaburras came by our camp one morning and perched themselves on a nearby branch. There is something very relaxing about waking up to nothing but the sound of the birds in the trees - just [...]
Today's travel photo is of some people selling durians and other fruit on the street in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. For me, the thing I loved most about Kampong Cham was the people watching. It wasn't a touristy place, so the locals all went about their business and I never got hassled at all by any [...]
Today's travel photo is of the wide pathway leading up to Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. Capitoline Hill is one of the Seven Hills of Rome and has a long and interesting history, dating back to ancient Rome. What now stands on the hill are some beautiful Medieval and Renaissance palaces that now combine as the [...]
