Mount Phousi

For me, Laos was a great short trip to a new and unique country. We stayed in Luang Prabong the entire trip, and didn’t get to venture out to anywhere else in the country.  Luang Prabong is the capital, and we figured we’d get a pretty good taste of the country.  The town itself isn’t really very large, and generally 5 days can cover most of the ‘things to do’.  In the center of town there’s a large hill, not quite a mountain – it’s really just 100 meters high or about 300 steps. We took a walk up the hill and got there with a bit of time before sunset. This shot is looking out over the Mekong River from the top of Mount Phousi.

Out West

The trip through the Kimberley lasted over two weeks, and we saw our fair share of gorges, sandstone, red dirt and blue sky.  Some of it was more beautiful than others, as you would expect.  On one of our last evenings, we were camping  at the south end of the Bungle Bungles and we had actually skipped the evening hike.  We were preparing dinner a little, having a couple of drinks, and generally taking in the end of the day.  One of our travel mates suggested we grap a couple of beers and go for a walk to try to catch the sunset from a lookout.  We never did find that lookout, but walked through a field and caught a few snaps of the sun setting on the ridge.  Absolutely stunning, and had we planned a little better, could have been up higher!!

Bali Sunset

I don’t think I need to say much more.  Taken at Potato Head bar/lounge in Bali.  We’re heading back for New Year’s Eve this year.
