This is elephant terrace. The King used this when he wished to greet and see the commoners

Angkor Thom
I climbed up there.

Angkor Thom
With a random Cambodian child

Angkor Thom
View from the top

Angkor Thom
View from the bottom

Angkor Thom
How could I not take several pictures of this

Angkor Thom
and get my tourguide/personal photographer to take several pictures

Angkor Thom
of me up here

Angkor Thom
including a random one

Angkor Wat
and here it is...

Angkor Wat
As all Buddhist temples are, the Naga protects

Angkor Wat
me and Angkor

Angkor Wat
is that not beautiful. Not to brag or anything, but I took that.

Angkor Wat
There is a story associated with this. Its the story of the conquering of something. Yeah, that's it.

Angkor Wat
The sign of refurbishing and reconstruction, being completed by the Germans and Japanese

Angkor Wat
this building is made of stone. If you touch stone, the oils in your fingers make the stone shiny. Look what's shiny

Angkor Wat
the architecture is amazing

Angkor Wat
as is the view

Angkor Wat
so lets take a second look at it

Angkor Wat
as my tour guide called it "the picture of the two ladies"

Angkor Wat
relaxing

Angkor Wat
My tour guide decided it would be fun to photo document my treacherous climb down

Angkor Wat
While he hopped down these stairs without a thought in the world

Angkor Wat
I was clinging onto for dear life

Angkor Wat
But I eventually did make it down

Angkor Wat
and FINALLY made it on an ELEPHANT!!!

Angkor Wat
which I have been waiting for two months to do

Angkor Wat
Isn't it great!!

Angkor Wat
View from the top

Angkor Wat
I was up here to watch the sunset

Angkor Wat
but it was too cloudy for a sunset

Angkor Wat
So all I got was some pink sky

Angkor Wat
and a little pretty scenery

Angkor Wat
at least I got to ride an elephant!!

Angkor Wat
and got some good exersize

Angkor Wat
View from the bottom

Angkor Wat
Cultural dinner show

Angkor Wat
complete with an all you can eat buffet

Angkor Wat
Many of these dances told a story

Angkor Wat
like of love, loss and war

Angkor Wat
but mostly it was pretty

Angkor Wat
Do I look French ?

Angkor Wat
As I arrived back to my hotel I was greeted by fruit.

Angkor Wat

Ba Ho

Ba Ho

Ba Ho
Jade and her self portrait pics

Ba Ho
revenge!!

Ba Ho

Ba Ho
Does this not remind you of Ferngully

Ba Ho
or some other forest/watery paradise

Ba Ho
I just realized now why Jade stood over there

Ba Ho
I apparently am not as dangerous

Ba Ho
huh?

Ba Ho
Such a good pic

Ba Ho
Yeah, why couldn't I do that as well?

Ba Ho
Sitting down, obv

Ba Ho
I loved this place

Ba Ho
so much so that I took

Ba Ho
like a million pictures of it. I've spared you many.

Hue
The bedroom of my hotel, equipped with air conditioning

Hue

Japanese Bridge
Japanese Bridge

Incence Making
there they are

Incence Making
being dried out on the road

Monastary
A place where monks live

Monastary
I also can't remember the name

Monastary
but it was fascinating

Motorbike
on the back of a motorbike

Tomb
The map of the tomb

Tomb
and there's the sign

Tomb
This is where the concubines used to hang out

Tomb
Tu Duc, basically created this whole place

Tomb
So he could get buried here, alone with his wife

Tomb
and some of his favorite "mistresses"

Tomb
Yet, he also used this place often

Tomb
While he was alive as well

Tomb
There he is

Tomb
water

Pagoda
Wow, I'm really bad at remembering names here

Pagoda
but I know that is a pretty boat

Pagoda
and that is in fact a turtle

Car
This is the description of and following, the famous car that the monks used

Car
to drive down from Hue to Saigon, to then light himself on fire, thus fueling the Vietnam War in the US media

Citadel
Friends that I picked up along the way.

Citadel
They were pretty fun. They were from Denmark and Germany

Citadel
But once again, I have no memory right now

Citadel
and cannot for the life of me remember their names.

DMZ
Somewhere in the distance there was something that vaguely had to do with the war

DMZ
all we saw was a rock quarry

DMZ
part of the ho chi minh trail

DMZ
Which brought war materials to the North

Khe Sanh
a sign, duh

Khe Sanh
the turning point of the Vietnam War. After this battle, the American's lost it

Khe Sahn
for good.

Khe Sahn
However the actual battleground was about 2 KM away

Khe Sanh
deep within the trenches

Khe Sanh
a plane

DMZ
the actual demilitarized zone

DMZ
This river split up the two sides

DMZ
That monument is the first building on the southern side

Tu Loc Tunnels
fearing for their life, the Vietnamese civilians went underground

Tu Loc Tunnels
and spent years living in this three tier tunnel system

Tu Loc Tunnels
I could just barely fit through the top and all western men had to duck

Tu Loc Tunnels
It was not even wide enough for two people to stand next to each other

Tu Loc Tunnels
This little alcove was the space allocated for an entire family

Tu Loc Tunnels
As you can see by this and the next picture, that space was not alot

Tu Loc Tunnels
I alone take up about 1/5 of the room in the entire area

Tu Loc Tunnels
The "maternity ward", this area birthed 17 children

Tu Loc Tunnels
See how small it is?

Tu Loc Tunnels
Yet, right outside

Tu Loc Tunnels
Completely beauty

Tu Loc Tunnels
Too bad they couldn't appreciate it

Tu Loc Tunnels
more of the trenches

Hoi-an
The city most known for tailor making clothes

Cultural Show

My Son
These temples were built nearly 1000 years ago

My Son
but during the war, many were destroyed.

My Son
because the Viet Cong decided to hide amoungst the temples

My Son
but then were angry when the American's bombed the area

My Son
This is a fertility symbol and it represents the combination of female(square) and male(helmet)

My Son
Female is square because it represented the Earth, and the Earth up until a few hundred years ago was assumed flat.

My Son
a little museum thing

My Son
pretty river

My Son
Some of the ruins

My Son
They are renovating this one

Hoi-an
This town was gorgeous

Tennis
Ok, so the main reason for having an entire album devoted to tennis

Tennis
is two fold. First, we actually did play a few times.

Tennis
It was actually Bas and Martin's teaching placement, to be a tennis instructor.

Tennis
The other reason however, is to explain to you all how stupid we were.

Tennis
So we couldn't find any rackets and start playing hackey-sack

Tennis
One strong kick, and the hackey sack is up on the roof.

Tennis
We all try to concot all of these ways to get up on the roof to get it, including

Tennis
Putting three benches unsafely on top of each other, and sending the tallest up

Tennis
That is until the one Thai man on the court, after watching this insanity, points to the ladder sitting right next to us

Sculpture Park
There's the Naga that protected Buddha in the forest

Loch Ard Gorge....so apparently there is a reef that runs around South Australia...

vic0078.JPG

all women, and one man. Well the man survived, and heard a woman cry out.

vic0090.JPG
They wound up chillin at this gorge to wait for help and found out they were...

vic0094.JPG
the only survivors. Well, the survivors were of similar age and apparently had...

vic0095.JPG
a little romance, being isolated at this gorge without anyone else around...

vic0099.JPG
Finally, they are rescued, when the man walked 10 miles down the road to the nearest...

vic0102.JPG
house. Unfortunately, the woman, had to go back to england and their romance was shortlived

vic0115.JPG
Speaking of England here is London Bridge. Apparently, you used to be able to...

vic0105.JPG
go to the end of this natural land bridge and people picniced and visited...

vic0108.JPG
it regularly. Well while there was much evidence that it would collapse, no one believed it until one day it broke, whe

vic0110.JPG
married couple on it, and it took them 2 days to be rescued. By then the media and the entire town was there...

vic0113.JPG
However, they wished not to get publicity, b/c while they were married, it wasn't too each other. They were having...

vic0119.JPG
an affair, and this bridge was their getaway. Serves them right I suppose.

right in the middle of the walk we had to ditch all our stuff and swim...

Northest0142.JPG
Our favorite part of the whole trip!! Stromolites. The oldest living organism

Northest0143.JPG
Honestly though, I thought they were pretty cool, and if nothing else they...

Northest0144.JPG
made for some pretty cool pictures. Apparently these rock things are alive...

Northest0145.JPG
If you look carefully at the pics you can see them "breathing" (bubbling)...

Northest0146.JPG
Anyways, when all living organisms lived within water, these stromolites...

Northest0147.JPG
helped oxygen enter the atmosphere allowing land organisms to exist...

Northest0148.JPG
So not only are they allow for good pictures, but they are why....

Northest0149.JPG
you are here today, so show some respect!!!

Northest0152.JPG
Ok, I'm off my soap box. Honestly, they are just awesome pics I think.

Northest0172.JPG
So of course I took like 13289012 pictures. Basically, these dolphins...

Northest0173.JPG
3 different families come to the beach three times a day and get fed 1/5....

Northest0178.JPG
of their daily allowence of food. They are told apart by their fins...

Northest0180.JPG
The guide was very knowledgable, (and don't you all worry I tested her...

Northest0182.JPG
Oh man I asked her soo many questions)...anyways so dolphins are not....

Northest0184.JPG
monogomous. The women are in charge of the kids, and the men just...

Northest0192.JPG
chill out in packs, waiting to impregnate the next female dolphin....

Northest0194.JPG
Also, female dolphins don't get menapause, so basically once they...

Northest0195.JPG
start having "pups" they continue giving birth every four years until they are dead.

Northest0197.JPG
Ok bio lesson over. SO Monkey Mia is cool because they pick people to feed them!

Northest0199.JPG
Hugest bird ever!!!!

Northest0203.JPG
Monkey Mia is located in the town of Denham. While everyone has...

Northest0201.JPG
heard of Monkey Mia, not many hear of Denham, and it's a shame...

Northest0208.JPG
It is a pretty place!!!

Northest0228.JPG
Not however, as pretty as Eagle Bluff. Oh man Not only was it...

Northest0211.JPG
incredibly gorgeous, but it also had NOOOO flies!!! Yeah, that's right....

Northest0214.JPG
it was amazing, and had no flies.....

Northest0217.JPG
every other day as soon as we stepped out the bus flies were in our noses...

Northest0218.JPG
and mouths. I swalled 2. GROSS. So back to Eagle Bluff. This area is noted...

Northest0219.JPG
for its tiger sharks. Unfortunately when we were there we hardly saw any...

Northest0225.JPG
none wanted to pose for a pic, so instead I did!!!

Northest0231.JPG
Oh man it was pretty!!!

Northest0227.JPG
Shark Bay is the area of Monkey Mia, Denham etc...

Northest0235.JPG
While the flies came back this place was cool, instead of sand...the beach....

Northest0236.JPG
was all shell and even in the water, stayed shallow for a while out!!

Northest0238.JPG

Then Kelly hopped into Tara's backpack and James held her on his back

Northest0274.JPG
Christine entertained us with some cool "tunes"

Northest0275.JPG
And then Ian breathed for Jessica by blowing into her nose and it came out her mouth.

Northest0276.JPG
Cathy sang. P.S. there were other acts, but I was also video taping and didn't catch them all

Northest0277.JPG
