We had a lovely weekend break to Oslo. Kayaking, walking, and enjoying the city. It’s so easy to get out into nature there. (Made a complete fuss of getting into the cold water but was totally worth it) #Oslo#Norway#travel
D'Arnaud's barbet is a small East African bird that feeds on insects, fruits, and seeds.
It grows to about eight inches, and is equally at home in trees or on the ground. A vertical tunnel two to three feet into the ground with a sideways and upward turn leads to the nest chamber.
In a striking dance the male and female face each on nearby twigs and twitch, bob and sing like mechanical toys.
Great Rift Valley is part of an intra-continental ridge system that runs through Kenya from north to south. It is part of the Gregory Rift, the eastern branch of the East African Rift, which starts in Tanzania to the south and continues northward into Ethiopia.
The Mau Escarpment is a fault scarp running along the western edge of the Great Rift Valley. The top of the escarpment reaches approximately 3000 m (10,000 ft) above sea level, and is over 1000 m higher than the floor of the Rift Valley.
The Cité de Carcassonne is a medieval citadel located in the French city of Carcassonne. It is situated on a hill and dominates the banks of the River Aude.
With its castle and ramparts, the city seems straight out of a medieval fantasy novel.
I shot this photo from a very shaky 4-wheel drive vehicle on a bumpy dirt track, so I made sure to have the fastest shutter speed by using my ƒ/1.2 lens…
Why yes I am having a great time. I’ve had many memorable moments, made new friends and met some interesting people along the way. However the Pyramids of Giza was a particular highlight for me. One of my favourite photos I’ve taken on this trip is this one whilst riding a camel. I have no idea how it turned out like this. #Travel#Egypt#Giza
I was feeling like I'd probably over-packed, but we've been in transit since Wednesday night, it's Friday morning and I'm in an airport hotel instead of my final destination and we still don't have a clear path to make it all the way there. Crew timeout, broken plane, hurricanes, car rental snafus. 😮💨
I've used probably 90% of what I packed and most of the surprise kid entertainment has been a hit. 🩵
Here's hoping we actually make it to his grandparents today, though!
I’ve just realised I’ve been in a different country every Friday for the past six weeks. Starting with UAE (because I got stranded in Dubai) I eventually made it to Türkiye, followed by Greece, Italy and Egypt. I’m now back in Thailand having some post-holiday R&R. Nice to not be moving on every 3-4 days. Next Friday I’ll be back in Australia. #Travel

All tourist traps are awful IMO, but there are ways to avoid them at their worst. It's amazing how effective getting up early is; most travellers would rather deal with crowds than do that.
