The Mekong river plays a central role in the lifestyle of the people of southern Vietnam. In the dark, boatmen load up their wares and start making their way up-river to meet with locals who come to buy wholesale fruits and vegetables on the water. Can Tho apparently has the ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/sunrise-on-the-mekong/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/the-tree-and-the-obelisk/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-tree-and-the-obelisk https://bkpk.me/the-tree-and-the-obelisk/#comments Sat, 27 Sep 2014 11:19:25 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=13741
Luxor, in Egypt is a city of ancient wonders. Close to the King’s valley and the Queen’s valley it is a treasure trove for anyone who likes to immerse themselves in another time.

We saw this while walking around the waterfront in Tuy, Spain. Tuy has a very pleasant area with swings for kids, some small cafes and a beautiful walk down the river side. We went there on the Day of Carmen to see the boats come out.

A lot of people think of the Amazon river as a water body snaking through the dense forest in solitude. However, with human settlements, villages, and cities in the middle of the Amazon, the river is transformed into a massive highway. Boats ply day and night and give birth to ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/business-on-the-amazon-river/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/ruta-de-la-cascadas/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ruta-de-la-cascadas https://bkpk.me/ruta-de-la-cascadas/#comments Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:08:09 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=5319
The Ruta de la Cascadas near Baños in Ecuador is a pretty scenic ride along the mountains. We rented bikes for the day and rode part of the 62km route down to Puyo. They tell you it’s mostly downhill but it’s also uphill for quite a stretch ;) The road however ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/ruta-de-la-cascadas/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/the-fishermans-daughter/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-fishermans-daughter https://bkpk.me/the-fishermans-daughter/#comments Mon, 01 Oct 2012 05:42:04 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=4687
We saw this little girl in the Amazon river. Her Dad was a fisherman which we met while he was catching some fish.

The sea lions in Valdivia are very different from the ones we saw on the Galapagos Islands. To start with, they’re about 3 times the size. Also, the males seem to be more aggressive and owing to the cold south pacific currents, end up being quite furry!
