Have Snark, Will Travel - Travel Photo Blog
Hilarious, silly and confounding travel photos, captioned for your snarky pleasure. Because travel is like life -- and life is often funny.
During the 12 Days of Christmas,
it’s the Three French Hens who have the
café crèmes, croissants…and soulless, beady eyes.

With some holidays behind us and some yet to come,
this snoozing figure seems to have a lesson for us:
If you’re going to drink…be sure to have a chair and table nearby.

Look closely and you’ll see an offering of wine made to the Virgin Mary.
Or in this case, a delicious glass of house-made sangria.

This subtle statue depicts the enormous and sometimes murderously rampaging Kumbhakarna, a Balinese Hindu rakshasa, or man-eating spirit. Renowned in Bali as a mighty warrior, he’s incongruously memorialized as a tower of terror amidst the Kebun Raya Botanical Garden, a tranquil showcase for the floral bounty of Indonesia.
A Southeast Asian cross between Rip Van Winkle and Gulliver, the giant Kumbhakarna was accidentally enchanted into a deep sleep for six long months, only to be harshly awakened and ordered to go all medieval on a batallion of violent monkey soldiers.
And really, it was only after this military melee that he started eating people. Chances are, you wake up to that sort of zero-to-sixty adrenaline rush, and you’d find yourself pretty darn hangry, too.
