This is a blog dedicated to traveling, photography, and all the odd happenings that occur in between.
First was Vietnam: a 2000 kilometer solo motorcycle journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City undertaken in 2011, written in daily journal accounts.
Presently I'm writing about India and Myanmar. Nothing chronological here; just a random stringing together of events and places that have left their dusty imprint on my heart and mind.

Vietnam~ Day 5- Around Ninh Binh

View of Tam Coc from the mountain temple
It rained through the night and has yet to stop. But I have a short memory and can't bear sitting in this 'The Shining' -esque hotel restaurant any longer.
Lurking among the back-country farm roads is a temple reached by 500 steps or so on the side of a jagged mountain with views of the surrounding valleys and the famous Tam Coc waterway. The guard on duty lent me his green commie shell hat for the ascent.
The temple from the bottom of the steps




Dead silence was punctuated by winds whose sound brought back memories of crashing waves below a cliff on the Baja coast where we used to camp.
