A-Z April Challenge – A For Angkor Wat In Cambodia

I visited in October 2015, arriving at sunrise along with hundreds of others…… What a majestic sight it was despite the hordes jockeying for position to get the best shot (or should I say hundreds of shots!). Talking of Cambodia, this is the setting for my thriller ‘Drip By Drip‘. It is available now from […]

2015 ends, 2016 beckons……

2015 has been a pretty good travel year for me. It started as you would expect in January when I went to Iceland to celebrate my 50th birthday. We did not manage to see the Northern Lights, but had a fabulous time in a Winter Wonderland of waterfalls, hot springs, glaciers, unusual churches and loads […]

Angkor Wat

   So did the actual experience live up to the anticipation? Sadly not quite. To use yesterday’s analogy, the animated family of cheetah outweighed the pair of sleeping leopards. Like a kid at Christmas, I had built the visit up to seismic proportions and maybe I had just set the bar too high or maybe […]

Angkor Wow

Visiting Angkor Wat has long been high on my bucket list and right now I am within touching distance. However, before the main course it is wise to take in some appetisers and this is what we did today. I did actually glimpse the Big A W as we sped past in our tuk tuk, […]
