Taking the Train from Delhi to Ranthambore

Photographing wild tigers in India has been on our list for a while. We had a week off around Easter, and decided to spend the entire time Ranthambore National Park. Located in Rajasthan, it really isn’t easy to reach. You can drive (well, be driven) from Delhi in about 8 hours, or you can take […]

Indian Visa on Arrival. Kind of.

I’ve been to India before. For work. The visa process is complicated and time consuming. It took two trips to the visa processing centre, and I needed a letter from my employer in India, and my employer in Australia.

We planned this at the last minute and had a VERY difficult time […]

It isn’t the most efficient way to get to Tassie, and it is probably cheaper to fly, but it’s a ferry to Tasmania that is walking distance. It had to be done. We booked the nicest cabin available for […]

In Search of Wild Orangutans

(Location: Borneo, Indonesia) We saw a documentary on orangutans, and it was filmed at “Camp Leakey.” Some googling revealed that was located in the Indonesian part of Borneo. This is how we found ourselves on a klotok on the Sekonyer River looking for orangutans. It was another insane travel day to get from Cambodia to […]
