Tourism

Dutch's Tuesday Photo Challenge


Tourism - share some of your favorite spots from among your travels and tell us a bit about why you enjoyed it!


To single out one spot in all our travels....that is a hard choice.

We've been lucky to have been numerous places and had many great experiences. Road trips, river cruises, independent treks, winters south, hot air balloons, trains...


John and I chatted about this and finally selected the Sounds of Silence dinner at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia.


A path took us to an uninterrupted, three hundred and sixty degree view of this vast landscape.



In front of us is the fabled Uluru, behind are the domes of Kata Tjuta.





It began with began with canapes and chilled sparkling wine served under the canopy of the desert night.
Australian wine, what could be better?



As the sun set and darkness fell, we listened to the sound of a didgeridoo.



Cheers! Slainte! Salute! Prost!Salud! Будем здоровы! Santé!Proost!



Jackie’s trip to visit fabled Uluru is chronicled in her post in Junk Boat Travels, which looks like it was truly amazing!

Focus

Dutch's Tuesday Photo Challenge


I am known for never doing anything without my camera, DSLR or my phone. In fact, John is almost as bad as me!!

Uluru Australia.



From the sublime to the ridiculous!

I snuck (I know, not a word!) this snap in Mazatlan of two tourists from a visiting cruise ship.

But no, I hope we don't look like this on our travels!


Or how about these tourists in Singapore.


Dublin Ireland





This is my all time favourite focus shot, in Bratislava, Slovakia.

John focused on me and my pal.

If I ever got a tattoo, Yulara Australia.

JUNK

Tom is killing me with his weekly challenge words. It was impossible for me to get a JUNK related beer photo, although I tried!

So I settled for a JUNK boat in Hong Kong.



But not to be defeated, here is a beer on the same trip, on a boat, on the Li River in China!
