Finished uni? Too lazy to get a job? Got a passion to see the world? Why not run away and try to cross the world from Bangkok to London without flying! Starting on January 11, 2007 I set out to do just that with my mate Jeff. Bangkok, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, a six month sojourn in China, Mongolia, Nepal and India have happened already.

Raj Moonwalks to Darapani

We challenged Raj to walk backwards all the way and he bettered us by moonwalking it.

Chinese Quality Foods!

Had to be Done

Four Aussies couldn't walk past this sign without taking a photo. It'd be un-Australian.

A Really Big Mountain

Tibetan Culture in Nepal

Hard Work

Pushing up yet another hill.

Getting Higher and Higher

More and more mountains were visible every hour.

Annapurna IV

One of the huge mountains.

Who Brought Her Along?

I have no idea what Marjie is doing here.

Ben Prepares to Rob a Bank

As temperatures dropped in the mornings we had to resort to extreme clothing measures.

More Mountains

Warming Up in the Morning

A Stupa and a Mountain

Mountain Scene

Stay Clear of Lens-Cap

Dad was a little obsessed with photography on occasion. With good reason though, the landscapes on this particular day hit me in the face with their sheer enormity.

Glacial Valley to the North

Annapurna II

7800 odd meters tall and showing every inch of it.

Nothing compaired to Tazzy
Top story... I am sure that we will all hear from Ben how he saved the day on more than one occasion.... I can hear all the Donkey stories now.... Some one needs to take some round up for those weeds... looks like an infestation. Stay safe and merry X-mass to all.

"the bee didn't stand a chance"
Matty, you must be desperate for a MATTY IS FAT comment, re: sitting on a bee. A half-dozen situation-appropriate jibes spring to mind immediately and I never even got into the whole thing.

Bridge Broken
Have just heard that one of those bridges you cross has collapsed.. Understand it is a bigger one but due to the name and location in the news I could not recall if you were in the area.. Stay safe..
