Travel: Travel Cambodia by Bus
Travelling Cambodia by bus is actually quite enjoyable. It’s cost effective and efficient. The company I would trust is Giant Ibis – we used them 4 times and all times were amazing, enjoyable and comfortable. Now, this post shows pictures of our return trip from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh. We took a full sized bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, the mini below from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville and back and then a full sized bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City.…

Travel: Koh Rong Cambodia Part Two
Okay – now this is the place where one should go if they want to relax! If you read part one, part two is better. The main reason I didn’t pre-book at this place is because they wanted our MC number via email. They suggested we send it like this: 12XXXX – 34 – 56XXX – 78 – 91XXX – 12XXX – 34 – 56XXX. Odd, right? I get it – if you send it that way (or some form of that) it’s far less…

Travel: The Royal Palace Phnom Penh
The Royal Palace in Phnom Penh is well worth the visit – the colours, the beauty, the clear blue sky that seems so ridiculously in balance with the gold is well worth the time. Your camera will also love you. This place is right around the corner from the National Museum – visit both in one afternoon and you’ll feel so much richer. Here are some of my photos of The Royal Palace Phnom Penh. The Grounds The buildings are so intricate and delicate that…

Travel: Siem Reap Temples – Angkor Wat and More
Siem Reap temples – Angkor Wat and more, so many more temples. By far Siem Reap is our favourite place on our trip off the continent; not only are the people friendly, but the food is good and the culture is beautiful. Visit if you get the chance. Okay, time to get ready for a long day of heat and history. My first tip when visiting the temples – get a guide. Not some tuk-tuk driver who will give you a low rate, but a…

Photos: Thunder Snoring House
Thunder and snoring house – yes, my house is filled with so many sounds that it’s flat out beautiful. This morning the house is full of snoring. Bryce is on nights and Lily, well, she’s a Great Dane and she’ll snore anytime if you let her. The thunder, that comes from all of the rain and storms we’ve had over the last month or two. Oh, and there’s a precious story to go along with it. Thunder We were living in Dallas, Texas and Lily…

Travel: The Grand Palace Bangkok
The Grand Palace The Grand Palace, Bangkok is beautiful and a must see if you’re in Bangkok for even one day. It’s busy and open 365 days a year, so don’t let anyone trick you into telling you it’s closed. It’s open and waiting for you! First thing, you need to wear clothes that cover your knees and shoulders, so wear pants or a long skirt and a t-shirt, otherwise you’ll be forced to borrow a pair of pants or a robe. It’s hot enough…

Travel: Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park has a part of my heart forever. It’s so beautiful and I was delightfully happy spending 3 days with Bryce and Lily in the massive national park. See it if you get a chance – you won’t be sorry. We traveled the Going-to-the-Sun-Road and cooked on our camp fire. Do you want to see more about our trip? Check out other posts: Going-to-the-Sun-Road Black Bean Burger Bombs Pillow Cases Okay, back to our family time at Glacier National Park. We had fires,…
