A bird’s eye view of the city from Saigon Sheraton. A very enjoyable happy hour on the terrace at sunset (from 4 to 7 pm) – two for one cocktails and beers.
Having a relaxing beer at the Summer Palace in Beijing, China
On the boat by the Ko Ha, after our first two open water dives! On the way to becoming certified open water scuba divers!!!
A visit to the 10th century Banteay Srei temple, the crown jewel of Khmer architecture. Banteay Srei was built by a Brahmin – rather than your typical Varman (king) — in honor of Hindu god Shiva. The rose-colored sandstone carvings are spectacular even in 100+ degree heat. Banteay Srei was one of our favorites in the Angkor complex!
Happy international women’s day from Phetchaburi, Thailand. To celebrate, a little tour of our wonderful guesthouse, 2N. While we get around to publishing a detailed post about Phetchaburi and our stay there, you can have a look at the 2N website if you are heading that way.
A visit to the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur — our favorite fort of the ones we saw in Rajhstan. Who knew that India had such a princely history. The warrior kings of Jodhpur and Udaipur were never captured by the Mughals, the last ruling dynasty of India.
