This was our chosen location for our final day in Hua Hin and our last trip out on the bike. Only 30 mins from our hotel so an easy ride after breakfast. I’d only seen the temple advertised on a taxi advertising board so we had no idea how large the site would actually be....
Set a short ride outside of Hua Hin is Rajabhakti Park, which has seven magnificent statues of soldiers through various eras. Each statue is 14 metres high, and the detail is incredible on each one of them. We sneaked around the back of the statues also, and the detail is continued on all sides. (So...
Not looking for sympathy here (well, not much anyway😆) but more to share how impressive the healthcare experience was here. Due to the respiratory virus and all the flights so far, my right ear was in need of some medical intervention. A quick search around online led to Bangkok Hospital (actually in Hua Hin so...
Hua Hin also has a good number of night markets. Any day of the week in the evening you can find at least one market. Like we found in Taipei, one market ends up looking like another market, same foods, same souvenirs, elephant pants, and tourists. The Tamarind and Cicada Markets were just a short...
Taipei Main Station is massive, a cavernous labyrinth of interconnecting tunnels and areas. There are very large markets in this subterranean area, at least four stations and I wouldn’t like to guess the area of this station underground. It has quite a few levels so you seemed to be either going up or down a...
The Palace Museum was fun to get to as it was quite a way away from where we were staying. We started off by taking the subway from Taipei Main Station once we’d found the right line. (Taipei Main Station was so difficult to navigate I’ve written its own post!!) From there we exited the...
Nick kindly passed a virus on to me so the Taiwan leg has been a bit of a slower pace. It took a few days for me to feel up to tackling this hike but on our last full day it was now or never. Elephant Mountain, at 184m, provides some of the best views of...
Rahoe Street Market Rahoe Street Market was quite a journey away from our hotel, and we took the train to get there, and subway to get back. This is one very long street which is filled mainly with food vendors, and very little shopping. The market was vert busy and getting through most of it...
Our foray into Taipei started with a couple of museums as they’re a great way to learn about the locality, they can be very interesting, and they are a good way to stay out of the heat. First off, we headed to the Taiwan National Museum, with a very low entry fee which we were...
Maybe this is the reason we came to China in he first place, I think it was actually … Not only are we big kids at heart, but we first visited Disney in Orlando back in 1997 not that long after we were married. Since then alone, and with the kids, we had been lucky...
So tonight we went across the river, the the opposite side to The Bund, to go up the tallest tower in Shanghai. The lift is apparently very fast, although you wouldn’t know that other than the lift info sign, and your ears that feel like you’ve just taken off in an aeroplane. We bought our...
This is not really a shopping mall, but a large area taking in a few roads which are closed during the time this market/mall is open. It’s very much arranged for the tourists, and you don’t see locals at this market. What drew, Wendy, to this area was the Chocolate Factory which was clearly called...
Welcome to our travels which we see as our life no longer attached to a time clock; Life Unclocked. Our adventures have taken us across continents, through bustling cities and tranquil countryside alike. With each destination, we’ve come to appreciate not just the places we see, but the experiences that linger — the aroma when...
What is Life Unclocked? Life unclocked refers to a unique stage in our journey where we shift our focus from simply being present in every moment to being truly engaged in the moments that matter. It embodies the idea that we don’t have to be everywhere at once, but rather, we can choose where and...
