The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. Today’s image is a bowl of Soto Ayam, at a little restaurant in Nusa Dua, Bali (as you can probably tell by the Bintang beer bottle 🙂 ) Soto Ayam is an Asian variant on Chicken Noodle soup – but not the sort that…
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. The genesis of this image may not seem unusual to our American readers but this is a real rarity in Australia – it is from one of the few remaining grocery-store diners left in the country. It used to be that at the capital-city…
You may remember that I wrote, some months ago, about taking guided tours as opposed to self-guided travel trips. And I said that I would update the blog, after I undertook another guided tour, to Vietnam. Well, I’m sitting in the lobby of the Ruby River hotel in Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City, waiting…
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. We noticed that perhaps a quarter of the images in our personal Facebook feeds were .. well, feeds! And so we start this week’s image theme by featuring one from a few years ago. This was a Thai ‘banquet on a single plate’…
The theme for our travel pics this week is D, for Disneyland. Our final image in this series is of the iconic Mark Twain Riverboat. This ride is a 15-minute exploration of the “Rivers of America”, and only 300 passengers can board at any time. At one stage in the 50s, up to 500 people were…
The theme for our travel pics this week is D, for Disneyland. Today, it’s Olde Worlde Transportation for weary park guests. Disneyland is not really all that big – but you can still get tuckered out wandering around. And besides – this bus looks cool! And if you are really good, you get to sit…
The theme for our travel pics this week is D for Disneyland. Today, we are not in Disneyland – in fact, we are actually outside California Adventure Park, the new(ish) sister park to Disneyland – built on the original car-park for the complex and opened in 2001. This coaster is part of the California Screamin’ complex…
The theme for our travel pics this week is D for Disneyland. Today, some of the Magic Kingdom’s most iconic views – the Tomorrowland Terrace, the monorail, and of course, The Matterhorn. One of the most famous theme-park rides ever, the Matterhorn is always crowded, even on a low-patronage day like the one when…
The theme for our travel pics this week is D for Disneyland. Today, we are not actually in the Disneyland theme park proper. This is at the Lego Store on Disneyland Drive, within the Disney complex at Anaheim, but outside the actual theme parks. But I don’t care – it was too good not to…
The theme for our travel pics this week is D for Disneyland. Today, it’s an Iron Man suit, from the latest series of Marvel Avengers movies. As a youngster, I always wanted to go to Disneyland – and especially to Tomorrowland. So, when we got the chance to go there, as adults, I…
