Another look at the Mekong Waterfront in Nong Khai. The small border town really is delightful — and seems a world away from Laos. If you have a chance stay for a day or two, its pleasantly non-touristy.
Just another day, just another Egirdir hike– absolutely stunning views of the Peninsula. We were staying about midway to the tip. )
The gorgeousness of Borsh beach in Albania is really, really hard to portray. You can watch all the videos you like, stare at your pictures — its not quite that. It is unreal. Highly recommend making this Ionian Sea destination a priority.
A visit to the old Paradesi Synagogue in Fort Cochin, India. Unfortunately no videos or photographs allowed inside. But if you ever find yourself in Fort Cochin, go here! Fascinating murals depicting Jewish migration to Kerela, the building, destruction (by the Portuguese) of the original synagogue, and the rebuilding (by the Dutch) of the building…
A statue to Leo Tolstoy, one of Russia’s greatest authors, in New Delhi. Also some dirt, and a government run emporium for crafts (read: rugs) and such.
Oopsies – stuck in the southern town of Trang after the central railway website system went down for the day. Ah well, lesson learned — if traveling by train in Thailand, do yourself a solid and buy the tickets in advance.
