The Lost City – Cambodia Part 2
We wake to a steamy, overcast Cambodian morning. I’m excited because, today, we’re off to Angkor, the ‘city in the jungle’.
You Siem Reap what you dare – Cambodia – Part 1
We feel we’ve somehow stepped into a scene from an old Humphrey Bogart movie – the cheap wooden chairs, overhead fans that do little to dispel the cloying tropical heat, and the three rows of sombre looking guys in military uniforms
Across the Ditch – to New Zealand
There ain’t much travel happening these days, so I’m taking the opportunity to write up my accounts of trips long past – back when I thought a blog was a fallen tree in Transylvania.
Trials and Blessings
This blog is a bit different from my usual postings – in particular, it’s all true. It’s a bit long, so continue reading if you’re interested.
A Couple of Days in Whistler
Visitors to Whistler need to bring five things – extra money, sturdy shoes, patience, a sense of adventure, and some more extra money. Workers at Whistler just need patience.
Reflections on Vienna
A quote you often hear around Vienna is that, depending on the weather, the Danube can be grey, brown or even green. The one colour it is not, the locals will tell you, is blue.
Going next door – to Slovakia
To say Europe is small, is like saying the universe is big. In fact, some Aussies we’ve met reckon they can travel across three countries in the same time it takes them to reach their back fence at home.
Still in training – Bled to Vienna
I think I’m forgiven – as long as we get to Vienna on time. You see, travelling by train was my idea.
Another Gorge-us Day in Bled
I should have known that our big travel delay yesterday would mean a ‘compromise’ today. I don’t mean that wimpy 50/50 stuff, no, when we ‘compromise’, it’s either zero/100 or nothing. Here’s how it typically unfolds.
Sometimes, things just go wrong – in Austria
They say “be careful what you wish for”. Well, just this morning, I said to Nanette that it would be so much nicer if our trip to Slovenia was along the old roads rather than that big sterile freeway. Well, the wassergersplunkinkonnektor sure fixed that!
