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.

 |
| The Rainforest is winning. |

| One of the many ancient temples. |

| 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! |
