We decided on the spur of the moment to visit Kampong Pluk a fishing village on Tonle Sap some 30 km south-east of Siem Reap in Cambodia. [pinit] During three weeks in Cambodia in 2013 we spent four days in Siem Reap. Our spontaneous decision was made on a day trip to Beng Melea, an impressive ruined …

You may have heard me refer to the Blue Blue Mediterranean before – because I cannot overstate just how blue the water WAS in the Turkish Mediterranean.  And that’s the other thing… Is it O.K. for me to claim part of the Mediterranean on Turkey’s behalf? Well I did jump from a Turkish boat into …

With 10 others we boarded a rusty boat to escape to Bamboo Island Cambodia for the day.  A little misleading perhaps because at best it was a couple of hours, but it gave us a taste of what island life had on offer. Calm, Clear, Warm Water, Shade, Cool Breezes, Cold Cheap Beer (no island …

The weather in our home town of TOWNSVILLE has not been that good this Winter.  Usually Townsville which sits inside Cape Cleveland in North Queensland has perfect blue skies, lovely warm days and cool nights.  The thought of Winter is cherished while we are melting away in the heat and humidity of summer.  When winter arrives …

Two of my favourite activities in Townsville are Boating and Cloud Watching, and on Saturday I got to do both on a family fishing trip. B.H., Matt and I launched the boat while the sun was just a golden glow on the horizon, and motored slowly out of Ross Creek, through the breakwater and port …

Luckily the driver and fellow passenger on our Luang Prabang Mekong River Cruise had Thai as a common language.   With the passenger in the driver’s seat and the driver bent over the broken engine at the rear of the boat, adjustments were made and instructions called to turn the key at the appropriate time.  …

The historic district of LUANG PRABANG IN LAOS, sits on a high headland overlooking the meeting of the timeless Mekong and its younger sibling the Nam Khan.  At first we had dreamed of entering the Land of a Million Elephants via Thailand, spending two leisurely long days on the Mekong, floating downstream from Huay Xai to …

Some days are meant to be.  The day we took a Lady Musgrave Island Day Trip from the Town of 1770 in Australia, on the southern extremity of the Great Barrier Reef, was one of those days. We recommend reaching Lady Musgrave Island from 1770. Seventeen Seventy is a Queensland seaside town 128 km north …
