I’m so jealous 😉
We are researching places for our part of the trip!
In case you haven’t been able to get into your email…. our flights are now booked!! See you in a few months 😉 xx
Wow has it been 3 months since you left!! 1/4 of your trip over with another 3/4 to enjoy…I really am going to have to sort out a trip to the far east…the photo’s are amazing such a different world…Hong Kong the Vegas of China…Tibet the spiritual capital of the world…unless the Chinese succeed in polluting it with their communist ways 🙁 … Nepal the highest country in the world…and oh all the yummy foods – lungs…bladders…toads…cow feet…butter tea…mmmm sounds so yummy (please + sarcasm here!!). Shame about the tummy troubles, altitude sickness and colds, but all part and parcel of a trip round the world (you wanted new experiences – bet ya never had altitude sickness before!!). Missing you both..take care..have fun and look forward to more updates.
Yep, definitely three months! Although it’s the last two weeks that have been most tiring – as Maureen’s latest post says. : ) You definitely must make a trip to Asia, I think you’d absolutely love Tibet (though please don’t go the Neil route and become a Buddhist monk) and you’d also love Nepal for trekking (maybe not so much the cities, though there are some fascinating corners). Thanks for commenting!
HEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOOOO!!!
Where are you?? We’re missing your updates!!
Talk to us soon
xx
We’re BAAAAAAAAACK! Ten days trekking in Langtang, I’m sure I mentioned on facebook. : ) We survived that, and are now busily catching up with blogging between baths (one bath to rinse off the worst of ten day’s dirt, the second to actually relax).
