Today's travel photo is of a lone Baobab Tree in the grassy plains around Lake Manyara in Tanzania. I spotted this tree first at a distance as we zoomed along the grassy plain towards a Masai village, but it quickly grew bigger as we drove past it to this point where we parked to get [...]
Bakong is part of the Roluos group of temples, and one of the oldest in the temples of Angkor in Cambodia. This royal temple was part of the ancient city of Hariharalaya and was built in the 9th century. I took this photo after walking down a long path past the huge moat that surrounds the [...]
As we drove up to Falls Creek high up in the Victorian Alps of Australia, I was amazing at just how beautiful the landscape was. I took this photo in March this year when the temperatures were still quite warm, but now this landscape would be completely transformed, and the view would be of snow [...]
Cars and motorbikes zoomed by me as I tried to navigate my way through a new town in the late afternoon. I left the street of my guesthouse and wandered along the footpath of a busier street, suddenly surrounded by tailor shops with the odd stall selling random items on the footpath. After hastily crossing [...]
Today's travel photo is of a fresh fruit stall at Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. Located in the centre of this busy city, Ben Thanh Market offers some great shopping, and I just love wandering around markets.

The town of San Gimignano is a beautifully preserved medieval town in Tuscany and I absolutely loved walking along its cobblestone streets. Palazzo Comunale, also known as "The People's Palace", was built during the 13th and [...]
I think eating the local food is an important part of the travel experience, so whenever I travel to a new country, I like to try as many local dishes as I can. In Kampot, Cambodia, I tried a couple of new dishes, and this photo is of a plate of beef lok lak, which [...]
When I travelled to Hue, the old capital of Vietnam, the first thing I did was visit the old Imperial Citadel of the Nguyen Dynasty, which ruled the country between 1802 and 1945. Although the citadel was badly damaged during the Vietnam War, it is still very impressive as it is slowly being restored to [...]
High up on the Central Highlands of Vietnam, the city of Dalat provided us with a much needed break from the heat and humidity of the lowland areas; in fact, the temperature change was so different that we needed a jacket at night. This photo is of Truong Cong Dinh Street which is the main [...]
The only problem with travelling overseas is that we have to leave our dog, Mindy, behind; and after nearly two months in Asia, we are missing her a lot. Today's photo is of Mindy watching the sunset at Inskip Point in Queensland, Australia, not long before we left for our road trip across Australia. She [...]
