What an amazing year, it truly has been an excellent adventure and I really enjoyed dedicating time to taking photos and improving my photography. Selecting the top 50 best photos had to be done over many coffees, beers and sakes. A big thank you goes to Steve for not only helping selection but lending his […]
A fantastic couple of weeks in Laos, even though we were only in two main locations we managed to fit a lot in. Below are my favourite pictures and my first video in this category from the short time we were there. Check out the other pictures from previous countries under “what you’d rather be […]
After three weeks camping in Africa, two weeks hiking in Nepal and two weeks cycling in China we entered Laos in need of a rest and a return to a more casual style of travel. The border post into Laos was an open eyed blank canvas into relaxation and recovery; more like the first day […]
The day today begins before the birds, before the morning breeze whistles and long before the sun rains down the first rays of the starters gun. It’s 4:30am when the guides are set to zip into our treehouse to start the early march beyond this new world we find ourselves in and out the other […]
Three Swiss, two Aussies and a Brazillian walk into a jungle; sounds like the beginning of a bad joke with an even worse punchline but that’s exactly what’s happening today. My morning alarm came on the hushed whispers of Dennis and Charlie up early for a morning zip on cables strung around the jungle canopy, […]
I’ve never been so excited to jump into questionable transport, we’re piled into the back of the tuk-tuk with the Swiss and we’re off. The English twins are venturing into a different section of the jungle for just one night leaving us to the three day option, just us, the Swiss machine (Fab, Dennis and […]
The journey up the Mekong, our first boat leg of the adventure, continues on broken shackles of propriety. From a polite group silence of British propriety and Swiss bashfulness our chatter increases with the other travellers; British and Swiss ironically. We creep up to the front of the boat to dangle our feet over the […]
The mighty Mekong, rising in the Tibetan plateau the Mekong cuts a slice through China, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, safe to say it’s one of the worlds great rivers and the lifeblood for so many in this part of the world. The reddish brown slick that is the Mekong sits just a metre […]
This whole time in Laos we’ve been in the most real of reality TV shows eating everything on offer, today though we’re metaphorically the ones in front of the camera and cooking up a storm. It’s cooking school time. First up is our trip to the market to be introduced to Lao food and ingredients, […]
From the near coma that was our last few days recovering from a punishing travel schedule, yes there is such a thing, today we’re peeping our eyes above the trenches, braving the world yet again and ready to change the guns. Being brave again in literal terms means gathering all the piles of stuff, yes […]
