Today's travel photo is of a fountain at Trafalgar Square in London. Trafalgar Square is one of those must visit sites in London as it is such an iconic part of the city. It's a busy place, full of tourists and locals, and the surrounding streets are always busy with traffic. The square sits in [...]
Today's travel photo is a view of Gorak Shep with Kala Pattar and the ice capped peak of Pumori towering above in Nepal. Gorak Shep is the last stop before reaching Everest Base Camp and if you see this view during your trek, it's likely that you will make it the rest of the way. [...]
Today's travel photo is of a buffalo in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. This buffalo kept a very close eye on me as I took its photo, and it continued to do so until we drove off. If you're chasing the "Big 5" on an African safari, you will need to spot one of these guys.
Today's travel photo is of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia. I only had a short time in Melbourne but it was long enough for me to find out that I really liked the city. Melbourne has some beautiful old historic buildings, but the most iconic would have to be Flinders Street Station. I took [...]
Today's travel photo is of Notre Dame Cathedral from the Seine at night in Paris, France. I took this photo after going for a late night walk around the city after dinner one night. The night air was cool and the city was all lit up, making it even more beautiful. River boats were still [...]
Today's travel photo is of a lodge beneath Ama Dablam at sunset in Dingboche, Nepal. I reached Dingboche within the last few days of my recent trek in the Everest region of Nepal, but for those of you trekking the normal Everest Base Camp trek, you might stay here on your fifth day. Dingboche is [...]
Today's travel photo is a close up shot of some of the trilathons at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. I wasn't expecting to be able to get so close to the stones as I knew that Stonehenge is fenced off for preservation reasons, but the pathway takes you around the stones and then up into the [...]
Today's travel photo is of a baby yak in Namche Bazaar, Nepal. It's quite common to come across yaks, dzopkyos (half yak/half cow) and mules wandering through Namche and other villages in the Himalayas of Nepal. I was wandering around the streets of Namche Bazaar when I came across this cute little baby yak...at least, [...]
Today's travel photo is of a large prayer wheel in the village of Chaurikharka, Nepal. I passed through Chaurikharka during the last day of the first section of the my trek from Jiri, where I would then join onto the main trail to Everest. The Buddhist influence in this village was very apparent, and it [...]
Today's travel photo is of some boats on the banks of the Mekong River on Don Khone, one of the islands in Si Phan Don, Laos. I took this photo at the southern tip of the island where the river also marks the border between Laos and Cambodia. The river was a murky brown colour [...]
