#Throwback waaay back to the second half of our first journey back in 2007! • Here’s a shot of a really beautiful (and free!) campground we stayed at in Western Australia, near the small town of Denmark. • Not pictured: The stunning beach beyond all those cool trees! • What’s the best campground you’ve ever stayed at? . . . . #Australia #WesternAustralia #WA #Camping #Nature #Trees #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #TheseForeignRoads #WorldPics #TravelStoke #TravelAddicts #AdventureSeekers #TravelPics #TravelDeeper #TravelLife #TravelPhotography (at Denmark, Western Australia)

The rooftop of the León Cathedral - officially "The Real and Renowned Basilica Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary"... I'll stick with León Cathedral. (at León, Nicaragua)

Happy Chinese New Year to all my fellow dogs out there. It's your year, so do something awesome! Or just chill out in the shade like this little dude in Las Peñitas... (at Las Peñitas, Leon, Nicaragua)

Oh that Las Peñitas sunrise...

More beautifully coloured buildings in León, Nicaragua. We'll be seeing more of these in a few days when we return, but for now we've finally made it to a proper beach! (at León, Nicaragua)

#Throwback to 2012, that time we hung out in the Napa Valley and had the best meal of our entire lives. (at The French Laundry)

A fire hydrant on the streets of León, Nicaragua. It's good to know the solid concrete structures will be safe in case of fire. (at León, Nicaragua)

Oh Leon, you so puurdy. So happy to be back in Nicaragua for the next few weeks! Looking forward to checking out a few new spots and revisiting some old favourites. Such a great country! (at León, Nicaragua)

Back in Nicaragua after three years away. Loving the return to Leon and some of the most colourful streets since back in Oaxaca. (at León, Nicaragua)

Back a few days to San Salvador. It's not the most overwhelmingly photogenic city in Latin America, but it's coming along. Recent efforts by the city are putting huge effort into revitalizing the city centre and encourage both local and foreign tourism. Here is the Palacio Nacional seen from the recently updated Plaza Civica. There's still a long way to go, but El Salvador is well on it's way to shedding it's former image. (at San Salvador, EL Salvador)

One final sunset in El Salvador. We soon board a 10 hour bus that will take us across this country and through Honduras, eventually bringing us to Leon, Nicaragua some time after midnight. (at Playa El Tunco)

Staying on an island in El Salvador, one only needs a machete to eat and drink like a king!

#Throwback ten years to Laos and the beautiful town of Vang Vieng. (at VangVieng Vientiane province Laos)

Unfortunately garbage burning is still common practice in many parts of the world that don't have proper waste management systems in place. However, on the plus side, the late afternoon sun through the smoke makes for a nice photo. (at Costa Del Sol El Salvador)

Just your everyday market street in downtown San Salvador. As messy and chaotic as it looks, everything flows seamlessly - as long as you're paying attention. Places like this, as simple as they may appear, are one of my favourite parts about travelling. A crowded market is one of the most real and vivid views you'll ever get in the day to day lives of the local population. (at San Salvador, EL Salvador)
