  1. Crossing the Mekong

    5.30am: Time to wake up, today we are gonna cross the river and enjoy the sunset over Luang Prabang from a temple on the other side of the river. For 2$ per head, our slow boat driver will make us cross the Mekong river and wait for us to bring us back to town.

  2. Escape from the all inclusive resort

    On a short boat ride in the middle of a day-long, resort sponsored excursion, I had a window into the spirit of the Dominican Republic, if only for a few moments. Long gone were the sounds of amplified pop music, pool water splashing, and generous staff members attending to your every desire.

  3. Ferry Storage

    During the winter, the ferry boats in Millersburg, Pennsylvania are stored along the banks of the Susquehanna River.

  4. Slow boat...

    Phi Phi Don is an island in Thailand that relies on longboats for everything. All are hand made.

  5. Galle To Colombo (Sri Lanka)

    The Galle-to-Colombo train is a long hot trip for a little boy: four hours taunted by the wide blue ocean - so close but just out of reach - moving so slowly you can practically chat with the kids playing on the rocks and in the water, but too slow to catch any breeze.

  6. Going nowhere

    Take time to view your surroundings, smell the air, listen to the wind - that's what slow travel is all about and walking down a road that leads to the ocean is a perfect place to start.

  7. The Aquidaban Ferry Boat

    Navigating the Paraguay River on board the Aquidaban, where life seems flowing much slower than the river itself.

  8. Steering the Boat

    I was lucky enought to ride with a boat racing team on the Mekong River in Laos near Vientiane. This team was practicing and I sat in the front with my cameras ready.

  9. under sail

    One of the best ways to see the islands off the West Coast of Scotland is by boat - indeed, most visitors access them by ferry. Even better than the ferries, however, is the chance to sail around the islands, gliding in and out of the all the rarely-visited inlets and channels, such as Balfour Bay.

  10. Team Transportation

    The team leaves after a long day of racing. They seemed quite happy riding in the 'team bus'...or maybe they were just happy to be done with a long day on the river!
