Travelling in LAOS

Almost immediately after crossing the Mekong River separating Thailand from Laos, I feel more relaxed.  Whether it’s the people, the noticeable change in traffic; I can’t put a finger on it, but I celebrate my return to the country with what could be the worlds best beer – Beer Laos!

A multi day hike in a SE Qld summer held little appeal, I needed somewhere with a cooler climate.  So when an invite came to attend a mates 40th birthday in St Kilda, the idea to extend the trip and include a visit to the Victorian Alps high country was born. Continue reading →

Travelling in THAILAND

At first glance it seemed like a Thai version of one of those armeggedon disaster type movies.  Vehicles and boats strewn haphazardly against semi destroyed buildings, bodies motionless in the mess and rubble with anyone alive visibly panicked and traumatized; maybe a flash flood or tidal wave?  I’m amused at the outward emotion shown by the locals standing beside me – have they not seen a movie before!  The ‘movie’ is in Thai and my inability to speak the language has delayed my eventual realisation….it’s not a movie….its real!

Travelling in CAMBODIA

In savouring the moment I haven’t noticed the sudden change in my surroundings; the tarmac has been substituted for dirt, the street lights are now few and far between, my eyes adjust to the darkness in a part of the city that has become a virtual shanty town, child prostitutes standing beside the street staring silently back.  In an instant my state of relaxation has changed to one of agitation and stress…had I been lured into a trap… Continue reading →
