June - August 2016
During the "summer" holidays we were fortunate to visit Cambodia and Vietnam.
Angor Wat (Siem Reap) is amazing - Temples versus the Rainforest forest.
The people were friendly, food delicious and the scenery beautiful.
Variation on a tree house! |
The Rainforest is winning. |
One of the many ancient temples. |
Face to Face |
A guide between two roses. |
Symbolic storm clouds for Ankor Wat |
Saint Bartholomew's Church - Ho Chi Minh City |
After the holidays we were able to explore Quanzhou - in the neighbouring province of Fu Jian.
Statue and pagoda are both made entirely out of recycled glass. |
Brace yourself - HH is ziplining. |
HH - Zipping down the lake. |
More like a bunny rabbit than a terracotta warrior! |
The first stone beam bridge in China (completed in 1059) - Luoyang Bridge Quanzhou |
Lao-Tzu - Chinese philosopher -Mt Qingyuan |
Shanghai was also on our wish list - we were not disappointed.
Despite the weather the skyline still looked impressive. |
Looking north from the Oriental Pearl Tower |
The lights of Shanghai |
Anyone for Tea |
And the modern - the Maglev train (Magnetic Levitation) - the fastest train in the world. Reportedly 400+ klm per hour. Disappointedly we reached just over 300 - perhaps on a go slow day! |
