| 17th July 2008 christine | - From: Kyrgyzstan Hi, Every day i look if there is anything new from you. It's so exciting! i'm really jalous of you. Enjoy yourself the most you can and thanks you let us enjoy a little also. ciao christine |
| 13th July 2008 Lorraine | I feel a book deal coming on! - From: Kyrgyzstan Hi both of you and thanks for all the fantastic adventure stories. Years ago I used to tune into Alaister Cook's letter fro America and couldn't wait for the next instalment... Feel the same about yoou blog! You really should think about publishing on your return home. Keep well and safe Lorraine x |
| 11th July 2008 Irene Warren | You are good................... - From: Kyrgyzstan I think I would have gone 'home' crying after all the problems you had with your visas but when there are two of you one usually calms the other. You are both very patient. The hotel sounds a hoot but I dont know if I could have slept at all - but with no curtains you probably didnt either! James is currently in Bolivia and facing another long bus ride (18 hours) out of the jungle as there are no flights available. He is off back to La Paz and will then proceed towards Lake Titticrcar and through Peru. He is back in the UK 4 weeks on Wednesday coming - not that I am counting! Met with Lorraine, Hilary and Elaine last week, all well. Keep on truckin and keep safe. Cheers Irene |
| 11th July 2008 Hilary | - From: Kyrgyzstan It's clear that your trip should be a life changing experience. Reading what you are seeing and doing is such an antidote to the mundane humdrum of life in a british summer! Looking forward to the next installment. Keep safe. Hilary |
| 10th July 2008 Dominic | Hiya - From: Kyrgyzstan Finally found your blog today and read through where you've been and what you've experienced so far. I have to say I was touched by the good experiences you've had with the natives of the various places you've been to - it just goes to show that people are the same the world over, no matter what their lords and masters may think ! Can't wait for the next installment, India will be amazing, all the best, love Dom and Steffi |
| 30th June 2008 lorraine | Amazing - From: Uzbekistan: Land of Mosques, Minarets and Mausoleums Hi to the pair of you. Read your latest blog upon returning from my spa day, what a contrast! I couldn't manage 6 hours lack of sleep never mind 36! I have to say the friendliness of the people you have met along the way is inspiring. Keep enjoying yourselves and doing the blog. Lorraine x |
| 25th June 2008 Dawn | Uzbek dancing ! - From: Uzbekistan: Land of Mosques, Minarets and Mausoleums I think Terry could have shown the Navoi state opera house something. If you need to make money Terry could do his Baggy trousers madness, I'm sure that would give the Usbeks a run for their money. Back to a serious note, it really is looking fantastic and I look forward to the next installment. Be good take care. Dawn |
| 25th June 2008 Bryan Heap | Avicenna - From: Uzbekistan: Land of Mosques, Minarets and Mausoleums Studied in the 17th century indeed! I see you have outdone my expertise in sedentary and anecdotal medicine with your treatise on Avicenna and the Qanan!! Am thoroughly enjoying your blogs and am envious of your trip. Trust you will not have any first hand experiences of medicine on your travels - but India awaits!! |
| 23rd June 2008 Irene Warren | I have to say Christine...................... - From: Uzbekistan: Land of Mosques, Minarets and Mausoleums ...............you look very elegant and respectful in the photos of this blog. What wonderful buildings. You are certainly having the trip of a lifetime. Makes me wonder who will have more trouble settling down to 'real life' you and Terry or my son after South America (he is having a ball by the way). Recon it will be a close run thing. Continue to enjoy and keep safe. Cheers Irene :o) |

| 11th June 2008 Mark & Kim | Great blog! - From: Iran I must say that we are impressed....not only are you travelling far and wide, meeting great people and clearly having a fantastic time...but you are also managing to find time (and internet access) to keep up with the travel blog - fantastic! Sorry to hear about the hairdryer...but clearly it HAD to go - we're just surprised that it lasted as long as it did! Have fun - we're jealous! M&K |
| 6th June 2008 Irene Warren | Well done you two..................... - From: Iran I have to marvel at your bravery in doing what you are doing. I would not be able to keep going - but then I am old aren't I. I don't know about respect to bike riders but I would certainly say respect to you both. Keep Safe and continue to enjoy. |
| 23rd May 2008 Janet Perry | Lovely to see you both looking so happy - From: TURKEY LEFTOVERS It all sound brilliant, the champagne after the balloon ride picture is lovely of you both. I bet you both just wish you were back at work, you must be just missing it all so much!!! |
| 13th May 2008 Sarah | Cool - From: TURKEY LEFTOVERS Hey - just seen Micheal Palin on BBC2 in Cappadocia - he had his fortune told and he was going to meet a rich lady - was that you Chris? First dive of the season on Sunday, 11C and no vis but staying with a John Dory for the first 5 mins and managed a few scallies for the BarBee. Boat is like new and rides quite high in the water so not too much splashing but the elegance of getting on board is dubious! It's 5 1/2 years today until I retire - yipee, plan is only 30K short though so have to work harder to make it up. I do envy you Tehran, my Dad was there just before the trouble in the early 70s, or was it late 60s? He thought it was amazing. Don't panic Chris - someone will open a Starbucks soon. Hugs xx |
| 11th May 2008 Lorraine | WOW - From: TURKEY LEFTOVERS What can I say sounds like you are having a really great time and getting to see things us mere mortals probably won't. Michael Palin eat your heart out! You are both looking good on it. A belated happy birthday Terry you are now part of a unique club! Look forward to the next iwrite up of your journey. Take Care. Lorraine |
| 29th April 2008 Lani | Merhaba Chr1st1ne and Terry - From: The Turkey Leg It was a pleasure meeti1ng you both, at Güven Cave Hotel, and I hope you are enjoy1ng your time in Iran ;) |
| 26th April 2008 lorraine | Bad hair day! - From: The Turkey Leg Christine fear not you don't need the old hair dryer! Yes, I know you thought you'd never hear me say this.... but try twisting your hair in small sections at a time ans then let it dry naturally. It really works lovely soft curls... how do I know this... remember my power cut! Great to see you both enjoying yourselves. Keep well Lorraine |
| 26th April 2008 roxy | Turkey leg - and the rest - From: The Turkey Leg Finally made it on to the site. Wow! As a sad old luddite I have never gone visiting blogs, so have no idea how yours compares, but I like it a lot! How on earth do you find the time to do all this while you are travelling around? Keep it up - makes me feel I'm not tied to the desk but off doing something exciting too.... |
| 25th April 2008 charuavi | Hi from Charuavi - From: The Turkey Leg Dear Christine and Terry, It was nice meeting you on the Gallipoli Tour, and yes, the rest of our tour was fine, even though I was highly upset by the non-appearance of our tour representative that night in Selcuk. I have yet to write about our Turkey travel, because I write more like an 'Article on Turkey' rather than a travel note, and I need to settle down to do that. However, I will be reading about your 2-year travels as you go along and post comments on them. Do keep in touch and take care. (even without the kettle) Bye. Charuavi |
| 23rd April 2008 Irene Warren | Wot No Kettle - From: The Turkey Leg Even I could do without the hairdryer (sorry Lorraine I know the thought appals you) but the kettle!!!?? However I am sure there are so many other delights to try as you head east. James flys down to Rio today having spent 2 weeks in North America so you will all be in my thoughts. I could get him to send you one of those Peruvian hats I think they cover up all! Stay safe and keep the bloggs coming. You are visiting places I am not brave enough to even think of travelling to. JUST ENJOY |
| 23rd April 2008 Bryan Heap | How exciting! - From: The Turkey Leg Great to catch up with your blog. We know all about Turkey legs here in Norfolk! Hope you're keeping up with the history of medicine!? Aretaeus of Cappodecia (circa120AD) was one of the first to give an acute clinical description of diabetes - "a melting of flesh and limbs into urine" - a description that holds today! What about Heraclitis of Ephesus (circa 540 - 480 BC) who had general oedema and impaired vision. Treated himself with cow dung and baked himself in the sun! He's dead of course! And then the top shelf/under the counter stuff Priapis of Ephesus. Enough said! Happy travels! Best regards. |
| 22nd April 2008 Sharon & Danny | We found you!! - From: The Turkey Leg Hi Christine and Terry, It was great to meet you at Bayrams. It would have been great to talk to you longer and share more stories. We wish you heaps of fun on your trip and will be following your blog. You never know we may even meet up with you one day. Our site is getjealous.com/dannyandsharon and email is sharleeand@hotmail.com. Happy travelling and hope you continue to enjoy the forward journey, even without your kettle!!. Danny and Sharon |
| 17th April 2008 jude | heavy drawers - From: It's Only Day 2 Maybe after the experience of lugging those cases you will now chuck out those outsize drawers in favour of a couple of lacy thongs which weigh next to nothing |
| 17th April 2008 jude | peking cyclists - From: It's Only Day 2 I am very disappointed to hear that our Tel did not nick one of the bikes and dress up as one of the cycling squad!shame on you! |
| 15th April 2008 Tim Taylor | - From: Pest Means Oven Evening children, Hope you are both well, it all looks so terry-able out there (no pun its intentional) Tim |
| 9th April 2008 lorraine | Incredible - From: And Finally Christine you are amazing I take bigger bags with me for an overnight stay! Glad to hear you got away safely. Will monitor you both with much interest. Enjoy |
| 8th April 2008 Jill | Congratulations! - From: And Finally Hi Terry & Christine Sounds like you are already practised travellers, the bags looked huge though even if only one each! Lovely to hear from you and look forward via your 'blog site' to following your trip around the globe! I will forward your email on to one and all... Take care! |
| 8th April 2008 Jacqui | Packing lessons - From: And Finally Please, please tell me how you did it. I put more in my handbag when I'm going down to the shops. |
| 8th April 2008 Janet Perry | Sleeper sounds lovely - From: It's Only Day 2 Did you actually sleep on the sleeper train or did you stay awake to enjoy knowing that you could sleep if you wanted to. I think I have submitted this comment several times so sorry if I have made the comments untidy Janet |
