We took a short flight over to England to visit some good friends of ours, and while we were there, they took us to Bodiam Castle, the backdrop for this jump shot.

Jump Shot Greece
During our cruise, we visited a few spots in Greece, including the Temple of Zeus in Athens. Shortly after taking this photo, we were told that “jumping” was not allowed. Not exactly sure why, but at least we got our shot first.
Jump Shot Spain
This jump shot actually landed us in USA Today. It was taken on a statue in Pamplona, Spain, just a block away from the where the bull run takes place. In addition to this shot, we did actually run with the real bulls as well. Definitely scarier than the bronze ones.
Jump Shot Italy
This jump shot was taken at the ruins of Pompeii, near Naples, Italy. I can’t say what exactly the relic behind us represents, but we thought it was a worthy back drop for our shot.

Our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka
COLOMBO
Colombo is the commercial and financial capital of Sri Lanka, and full of chaos and mayhem. We tend to stick out and draw more attention to ourselves than is helpful. So, besides using this city as a transportation hub, we did little more than make it to the local market before heading out.
Too close… A little too close.
I will admit that by taking public modes of transportation, we need to be willing to accept the terms and conditions, and sometimes consequences, that go along with it.
We have traveled through Southeast Asia for over five months, using all modes of overland public transportation. During these months we have developed a bias towards certain modes over others, but still cannot say too much, as the price offers no room for complaints.
Jump Shot Sri Lanka
We took several trips in buses very similar to this one, so leaping from it for our jump shot just made sense.

Sigiriya Rock from Pidurangala
Today held prime examples of time vs money and cost vs benefit. It goes to show that much can be seen and experienced while still traveling on a budget.
I dare say that on this RTW trip, we’ve missed out on very little due specifically to costs. In fact, in many cases, we’ve experienced more.
