Pictures and Travel
The following pages include pictures, ideas, recommendations and stories from my travel around Asia Pacific and Europe. Any recommendations or advise are inevitably very personal. If there is something here that you like then enjoy!!
Burma Burma Daze; pictures from Rangoon, Inle and Bagan
Vietnam Pictures from Hoi An
Cambodia Pictures from Angkor Wat
Hong Kong There is a separate page of travel suggestions for Hong Kong which you can access here. And a Happy Hacker's guide to the public golf course at Kau Sai Chau is here.
Shanghai A wet winter weekend in Shanghai. Read about it here!
Thailand One of the great vacation countries. City life, beach life, country life, sports, food, spas. Great people and great value. There are plenty of web sites that will tell you where to go, where to stay and what to see. Here are a few more personal experiences:
Golf and Plane-spotting in Bangkok. - the most unlikely combination
Staying at Karon Beach in July 2004
Sailing from Phuket - life on the ocean waves off Phuket
Hua Hin - a royal retreat
Bangkok - the Grand Palace and the River
Chiang Mai - Doi Suthep
Canada Vancouver - including pictures from a low - flying sea plane!
Laos Luang Prabang, Simple, quiet pleasures.
Australia The contrasting cities of Sydney and Melbourne in Spring time.
Singapore The always changing appearance of Singapore; very accessible, and just a little exotic. Asia for first time visitors and the less adventurous!
Malaysia Georgetown, Penang A melting pot of civilisations, cuisines, cultures and lifestyles; now significantly developed; sadly growth has meant traffic jams and pollution.
