Today's travel photo is of the water temple of Neak Pean in Angkor, Cambodia. Located near Preah Khan, Neak Pean is a small temple built on an island in a central pool. The pool is surrounded by four smaller pools, making it perfectly symmetrical, as was the style in Angkorian temples. This late 12th century [...]
Today's travel photo is of the lovely old buildings on Love Lane in George Town's Chinatown in Penang, Malaysia. Love Lane has some great examples of the old historic shopfronts that are common throughout Chinatown. We stayed just around the corner from here and I really loved walking along streets just like this one every [...]
Today's travel photo is of a boat at anchor in a sheltered cove in Halong Bay, Vietnam. I took this photo when we stopped to do some kayaking around some amazing limestone karst islands and secluded lagoons. I couldn't believe how calm and serene the water was here, and the turquoise colour of the water [...]
Today's travel photo is a panorama of a deserted beach at Walkers Rock in South Australia. While driving along the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula, we pulled off the main road to check out the campsite at Walkers Rock. What we found was a beautiful spot with this lovely white sand beach all to [...]

It was originally built [...]
Today's travel photo is of a hiking trail running through some thickets of bamboo on the way to Khun Kon Waterfall in Northern Thailand.

Continuing on with our exploration of the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, we headed from the temple mountain of Eastern Mebon to Ta Som - another temple that I had never heard of but was suggested by our tuk tuk driver. It is these sort of places that end up being really great finds because [...]
Today's travel photo is of the stern of our boat while cruising along the Mekong River in search of Irrawaddy Dolphins near Kratie, Cambodia. Kratie is one of the best places to view the rare Irrawaddy Dolphins that inhabit the Mekong River. We headed north of town to the village of Kampie where we were [...]
Today's travel photo is of a walkway leading to a viewpoint overlooking the rough coastline at Cape Bridgewater, Australia. Cape Bridgewater is a lovely spot located near Portland in Western Victoria. I took this photo while walking towards a viewpoint which looks out over some blow holes. The sea wasn't quite rough enough at the [...]
Today's travel photo is of a quiet, empty street in Pakse, Laos. Pakse is one of those places that is basically just a transit hub for travellers making their way around Southern Laos. There are a few things to do outside of town, but Pakse doesn't have a lot that keeps travellers there for long. [...]
