The theme for our travel pics this week is F, for Flowers. Our first overseas holiday on our own, without other family members, was Thailand in 2007 – and a week of that was spent at the Front Village resort at Karon Beach, on the island of Phuket. We have a lot of great memories…
The theme for our travel pics this week is F, for Flowers. Everywhere we travel, we seem to take lots of pics of flowers – even though we live in a subtropical paradise ourselves. My mum was a lover of flowers, too .. and the Hoya vine was one of her favourites. She had one…
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. One of the best parts about taking photos while travelling is that looking at them later helps bring back the memories. This particular dish is one of my favourites – Honey Mustard Chicken Salad, with pecans, leafy greens, onion, and capsicum (peppers…
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. It’s my birthday today but this is NOT my cake – nor my candle. It’s actually a fireworks candle on a cake that was prepared for a fellow package tour participant in China a couple of years back. We were in a theatre…
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…
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. We’ve just returned from a two week trip to Vietnam – and as part of the holiday, we did a cookery class near Hoi An, making Cha Gio (fried spring rolls) and Banh Xeo (fried Vietnamese pancakes with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts and egg),…
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. Most of the food images we have taken, while traveling, have been of things that we really like. But every now and then, something is so bad it has to be documented. This is one such serving. In 2008, we were in Hawaii – which,…
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…
