Temple

    Wow... Chichén Itzá! (Mexico, Yucatán, July 2014)

    The girl who wanted to see the Mayan pyramids

    The old stones of Mexico are worth seeing. And Indiana Jones can (still) go get dressed. To me, the mysterious Mayan pyramids!
    Ta Prohm. Angkor, Siem Reap, Cambodia. February 2011.

    Ta Prohm: Roots and Stone

    At Ta Prohm, the roots of the trees embrace the stone. I love this temple of Angkor, where you can almost think you are an explorer, discovering mysterious ruins buried in the jungle ...
    Angkor Wat. Siem Reap, Cambodia, February 2011.

    Angkor Again

    Angkor Wat: the best-known, largest and most visited temple. It has even become a national symbol: its towers adorn the Cambodian flag. 
    The faces of Bayon. Cambodia, February 2011.

    The faces of Bayon

    I wanted to see the Angkor temples again. In particular, the Bayon and its towers, sculpted with enigmatic smiling faces. To see again and again... I love it!
    Tuk-tuk in Angkor. Cambodia, February 2011.

    Tuk-tuk, lady?

    For once, I'm not traveling solo, but with a friend. Between the two of us, the tuk-tuk is the most practical way of getting from one temple to another in Angkor and around Siem Reap.
    Sunset on the Bakheng Hill Temple. Siem Reap, Cambodia. February 2011.

    Tourist in Siem Reap

    Siem Reap is the town next to the Angkor temples in Cambodia. My previous visits here date back to and . It was already crowded. But this time, well... it just took on a whole new dimension. The traditional sunset at Bakheng Hill is well worth the detour.

    Angkor Express

    Until I find time for another post about my own travels, here's my latest travel video find: The Angkor Temple Experience.
    Offerings at the temple of Lempuyang. Amed and Amlapura region. (Bali, Indonesia, July 2008)

    Balinese ride: rice fields, temples and markets

    Let's go for a little motorcycle tour in the Amed region, in the north-east of Bali. On the program: rice fields, temples, markets and... cockfighting!
    Temple Garden, an underwater temple created by Gardeners of Pemuteran Reef. (Bali, Indonesia, July 2008.)

    Pemuteran: baby turtles, underwater temple and electric coral

    I have been in Pemuteran, a small village in western Bali, since Tuesday. I love it! Here, the entire population is focused on the conservation of the coral reef.
    Lovina Beach. Bali.

    Lovina: black sand, meditation, water

    Lovina Beach ... The name is nice, but I'm a little mixed about the place. Here, the tourist pressure is certainly less than in Kuta-Legian-Seminyak. Yet I feel to have been more solicited than elsewhere by the indefatigable sellers of sarongs and other trinkets!
