Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Shadows

This week's theme set by the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge is Shadows. I do enjoy taking photos of shadows, they don't always work out but it's fun to try! The Friendly Friday Photo Challenge is run by The Snow Melts Somewhere and Something to Ponder About.  Check out their blogs and get involved!

Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Illumination!

Last week's prompt for the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge (yes I am a little behind with this one!) is Illumination! Of course my mind immediately thought of sunshine, as it might just be one of my favourite things! I have so many photos of sunsets (a bit addicted to those) and sunny places, but the [...]

You may have seen the reports in the news this week of the number of climbers who have died on Everest so far this season.  Sadly, according to the reports the numbers are up on last year. But it's the photos that have accompanied these stories which are beyond belief. There are queues...literally queues to [...]

Preah Vihear: A Day Trip From Siem Reap!

There were a few things that I decided I would like to do when I knew that we were going to return to Siem Reap. The first thing was to see Angkor Wat from the air on the Angkor Balloon. The second was a little trickier - two options, either a trip to Battambang or [...]

And The Award For Poser Of The Year Goes To…

I loved this little guy who I saw sunning himself on a pavement in Australia when I visited a few years ago.  He didn't move an inch as I got closer and closer!  Just stared at me as he posed for the camera! It was very warm so I don't blame him for standing his [...]

The Best Tuk-Tuk Driver in Siem Reap!

What can I say, I think we totally lucked out with our tuk-tuk driver in Siem Reap. We were picked up by Mr Rith, aka, Mr Why Not (which is also his catchphrase!) at the airport and taken to our accommodation - The Cashew Nut Villas (fantastic place - full review to follow!). He was [...]

Preah Vihear, an ancient temple that sits atop a cliff in the mountains on the Cambodia/Thai border. A place full of history which has commanding views across the surrounding area. It's definitely worth a visit! I took a (long!) daytrip there from Siem Reap, read all about my experience on my blog, link in bio! #preahvihear #preahviheartemple #cambodia #cambodiatravel #siemreap #southeastasia #traveldeeper #travelgoals #lovetravel #lovethisglobe #lovethisearth #traveldreams #discovertheworldwithoureyes #passionpassport #ladieswhotravel #history #temples #lovehistory #amazingworld #newdiscoveries #beautifulworld
