hopefully, that is. We’ve been waiting for my Indian visa to come through and now that I’ve got that, Ben (G) and Andrew have got “tummy trouble” and don’t reckon they can manage the 7 hour bus journey down to Pokhara. There are stops on the way but one quick glance at the toilets is all you need to make you decide that actually maybe you can make it without. Except they can’t. I think they’ll be ok tomorrow but then I thought Ben (P) would be ok the morning we went rafting and he wasn’t so my diagnosis and prediction skills have obviously yet to be perfected. Read more »

hiya people
currently in kathmandu where internet access is cheaper than in england so making the best of it…
got here fine but my bag got sidetracked and went somewhere else. managed to collect that this morning though so everything’s ok. big change of scene.
hello children.
you’re on my travel mailing list.
wow.
that means you’ll be receiving riveting up-to-the-minute bulletins of mine, Andrew’s, Ben’s and Ben’s adventures around the globe. if you’d rather not be receiving this write to your MP or other local government representative and complain bitterly, then write me an email saying so.
on the other hand, if you know of someone who you think could benefit from receiving this valuable gift, please do not hesitate to hit them with a marrow.
that’ll be all for now.
affectionate emotions,
T.
