Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family from Sydney! Or shall we say, G’day Mates, Merry Christmas! We just finished up all of the wonderful Christmas festivities with the Davies Family in Sydney. We met our friend Clare while travelling in Egypt and she and her family graciously invited us to stay with […]
Bangkok city sunset
We have officially been in Bangkok 3 times now, however, this is the first time we’ve actually stepped outside the airport. We arrived back into Thailand on a 12 hour bus ride from Cambodia. Trust me, I don’t recommend 12 hour bus rides! We found a hostel in the Khao Sahn Rd. area […]
Waking up at 4:30 AM is really not something we are accustomed to doing lately. Riding a bike 5 miles, with out a headlight, and no street lights at 5 AM is also something we are not used to. It was all worth it for experiencing sunrise at Angkor Wat.
After getting some great shots at […]
Not so long ago (30 years) Cambodia endured one of the most brutal and bloody civil revolutions in world history. From 1974 to 1979 the radical sect called the Khmer Rouge took over power in Cambodia and proceeded to execute a destructive and bloody path through the country. Nearly one in every 5 Cambodians (almost 2 […]
After we got our mad clothes shopping spree out of our system from Hoi An we took a short flight down to Ho Chi Min City (Saigon). HCMC is very active with mopeds zooming everywhere. Our first day in the city we spent uploading photos and working on the website. We litterally sat a this […]
We arrived in Hue for a short one day stop and made the most out of our brief visit. We spent our morning visiting the crumbling Citadel and Forbidden City where the Vietnamese emporers lived for 2 centuries. We learned that the defoliant that America sprayed (agent orange) during the war contributed greatly to the decomposition […]
Riding for miles upon miles staring at the reflection of the mountains in the flooded rice fields. A single pane of glass between me and te distant silouettes-my own reflection always staring back, reminding me of the changes I need to make. do not exist in a vacuume separate from the lessons the world has […]
One night as I was about to upload photos to the website, I plugged in the external hard drive (memory device) and blew the charger! Sure enough, I smelled something burning! The charger is similar to an iPod or cell phone charger. I dreaded finding a new one in Hanoi, but knew it was a […]
Limestone peaks come from nowhere
Crisp blue water alluring my senses
Sounds of villagers shouting
Reading books
Laying in the sun
Cool water splashing while we kayak
Dogs living on little floating homes
Mountains filled with thick impenatrable jungle
War-torn country not that long ago
People still seem angry
Stunning sunsets
Inspiring landscape
Children playing and living on floating homes
Fish farms
Jagged rough landscapes mirroring its people
Meeting new […]
After a week of blissful quiet and calm in sleepy Laos, I realized we were in for a change of pace once we got to Vietnam. After a short van ride to the “backpacker district” (every major city seems to have an area where all of the Western backbackers congregate and there are cheap […]
