The Killing Fields in Phnom Penh are probably the most depressing place to visit in Cambodia. The realisation that mass killing of their own people went on not that long ago. Knowing that it was only 40 odd years ago it gives the place a certain edge. You can walk around past the mass graves […]
Photo of the Week, Mt Merapi at Dawn, Java, Indonesia
Starting out at 3 am we began our ascent of Mt Merapi. Pitch black but still warm we made our way up the 1st steep climb to the top of the village. I was still feeling under the weather from a cold, I went on, regardless of the lack of Lemsips in Indonesia! After a […]

There were quite a few different animals that I held for the first time on this trip. The Scorpion, King Cobra and various spiders. Take a look at the coffee plantations and the rest of the bugs I got to hold in the Cameron Highlands
Photo of the Week, Singapore Harbour, Singapore
This has to be the best photo of a city I took the whole time I was traveling Asia. Forget the beaches for a minute, Singapore is beautiful. It is one of the best cities I have ever been to and to add to that we were there for Chinese New Year. Staying in China […]
Photo of the Week, Walking Street, Pattaya
Probably the most seedy place on earth. Walking Street is definitely one of those streets to people watch! Looking quite tame in the photo, it is anything but! Find out what we got up to there, here.

Photo of the Week, Duck and Cover, Mui Ne
Mui Ne is a nice little town in the middle of Vietnam. The beach is amazing there and for us, it was the point at which we crossed from rainy north Vietnam into sunny south Vietnam. We decided to hire motorbikes out and visit the local sand dunes which are a must see. This photo […]
Photo of the Week, Gold Leaf Buddha, Golden Palace, Bangkok
This week I have selected something a little different. This is a small Buddha in the center of the Golden Palace, Bangkok. Buddhists take a small section of gold leaf and place it on the Buddha after praying. In my time in Asia I saw so many Buddha’s it was unreal but this was one […]
Photo of the Week, Masked Children in Bali, Indonesia
Bali is one of the most amazing places I have ever been. The scenery is always stunning and the sun almost always shining, while I was there anyway! Taking a minute from looking at the rice paddies and amazing architecture some local children masked themselves in front of our tour guide for a quick snap. […]

The hills in the background of this photo are Cambodia. When you arrive on Rabbit Island you instantly see that it […]
