| 8th November 2006 anonymous | - From: Stiletto culture Wonderful photos, you sharply caught the city very well. Thank you for rejuvinating my memory again. |
| 6th November 2006 John and Sylvia | Glad you're home but will miss your stories - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" Richard (& Kim), I have been inspired by your blog. Wish such a thing had existed when I travelled from UK to Australia overland in the late '60s - all I have is some old postcards and letters. Hope you can settle down again :). My wife and I travelled through the Middle East five years ago (Local bus, taxis, etc.) and are still having trouble adjusting to being home. Recently bought a camper-trailer and have begun to explore Australia. Not as exotic as Asia and the Middle East but still lots of fun and discovery. It's amazing what we don't know about our own backyard! Found the same when we were staying in the UK - we learned more about the place than my family who live there. |
| 5th November 2006 Chris | Thanks for the inspiration. i just did it. Amazing - From: Beauty and the Beasts i just finished gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda. it was amazing. Check out my blog entry and videos at: http://keatingcwk.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!4951C608E64F098B!546.entry |
| 5th November 2006 lovelyplanet | We love your lists. - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" Nice to hear that Mongolia is up in front. Our company hasn't spoilt it all, then :-) Of course, we would design a quite different list of your best pics. We agree with "storm" and "Deadvlei", but then, I just love your Indian temples - of which, ironically, I have still not seen a single one on the travel photo page. And Nico is still very jealous because of the blue sky and the picturesque white clouds you had the second time at Kharkorin. Cheers, Brigitte and Nico |
| 3rd November 2006 Dan | Wow - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" Sad it's over, but I'm glad to see Tasmania made it onto your list a couple of times, I'm lucky to live here. I hope someone who can equal the quality of your photography and writing skilling will come along very soon because we've just come to the end of another outstanding blog. |
| 30th October 2006 Harriet | Advice Please - From: The most expensive swamp on Earth. You've travelled all over the world...what place would you say was the highlight of your travels. Can you name 5 must-see places? I really appreciate your help. I've never been to Africa, and I feel a little intimidated! But I'm really interested in visiting. Thanks! |

Especially like the guy in the glasses and the poor old cow!!! thanks for making me smile - happy safe travelling |
| 16th October 2006 Cumberland Sausage | Thanks Lee - From: The dream is nearly over For the information - it's most appreciated. Clearly it's not always easy to get the correct facts from google. |
| 15th October 2006 Lee | Profile of Wreck stumbled upon - From: The dream is nearly over Stumbled across your blog. Just to set the record straight; the wreck you stumbled across was not called 'The Oakburn'. It in fact was the 'Boss 400' which ran a ground in a Cape winter storm in 1995. The Boss 400 was the biggest floating crane in Africa when the towing lines broke and hit the rocks in a storm. Being a barge and having no main engines of its own it had to be towed to wherever it was working in the world. It had been used in the industry to pick up huge pipes. The tug that had the towing operation was underpowered and not up to the job. They found themselves unable to cope with the conditions and radioed through to Cape Town harbor to ask for assistance. Although two tugs were dispatched they were unable to get any lines onto the boss 400 due to the extremely rough seas. It is said a while later the original line snapped and the Boss 400 found itself blowing onto the rocks in Maori Bay were she has been lying ever since. All 14 crew that had been aboard the Boss 400 were airlifted to safety. At the time of the stranding, the Boss 400 was one of the most powerful crane barges in the world capable of lifting 1200 tons and valued at over 70 million US$. Due to the immense value of the vessel, a salvage team was dispatched but the back of the vessel was too badly broken and the salvage attempt had to abandoned. |

| 27th September 2006 RichySam | Great shots - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra Great shots guys! What geat are you using? Don`t worry I know its the photographer that makes all the diffference! Did you use a neutral density to get the water softness or was that just from stopping all the way down? Check out some underwater cenote shots at sniffandsnore... I look forward to your next story.... |
| 21st September 2006 Tonya | My homepage - From: Possessed by the spirit of Chinggis Khan Nice site! My homepage | Cool site |
| 21st September 2006 Diksha | www.Travelblog.com/Bloggers/Diksha - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra As usual, another great journal. You could be a writer or a photographer. |
| 14th September 2006 Kate Hildebrand | Kate Bush - From: Oah Oh, Babushka Babushka Babushka Oah Oh. And Russia! |
| 14th September 2006 Kate Hildebrand | Beautiful - From: "This one? American. This one? Chinese. This one? German. American. American. Vietnamese." nice pictures! |
| 14th September 2006 Harriet | Bravo! - From: The burning ring of fire By far the most wonderful and unexpected photos on this website. Thank you for giving us a peak into your world. |
| 12th September 2006 Deborah | Your photos rock - From: The biggest bang since the big one Hey there, your photos are incredible, how did you get the fire works to come out so well.. thanks, Deb |
| 1st September 2006 Shlub | Great photo's! - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra Especially the people shots. They're full of emotion and inspiration. Anyone would want to travel after seeing them. |
| 15th August 2006 Matvey | Nice - From: Oah Oh, Babushka Babushka Babushka Oah Oh. Really cool blog! Although perhaps you got onto the wrong side of Russia. Being Russian, I can tell you Moscow is alot beter than you think. It is definitely a very definite contrast to the UK, but I assure you there is beauty within. Moscow isnt much of a tourist's place, but its growing. Come back in 20 years or so and there will be more. In the mean time, visit St Petersburg's "Petergof" park or something :) |
| 9th August 2006 Deborah | Your photos - From: My name is Mr Sausage. I'm an Emergency First Responder. MAY I HELP YOU? Hey there, just wandering about your photos too, they´re so beautiful! What camera do you use and what technique did u use for the first one of the Perhentian Besar? Thanks, hit me back on debsipoo@hotmail.com |
| 4th August 2006 Ali | >Sat in the hot tropical air of a humid Malaysian wet season - From: My name is Mr Sausage. I'm an Emergency First Responder. MAY I HELP YOU? Like this very much ;) - I was on the small trendy island (Perhentian Kecil) at the same time - it was officially the dry season... something was up this year though - the dry season and the wet season seemed to blend... the only difference is the state of the ocean, the sea during the monsoon (Oct-Mar) is regularly impassable, massive waves and dangerous swell. Great photos again... what happened to your underwater camera? |
| 24th July 2006 diksha from Nepal | diksha2@hotmail.com - From: Roger Hood and his merry men you are a genius when it comes to pictures!! simply amazing...I am jealous. |
| 15th July 2006 Gill | Gidget - From: Whose relatives are these anyway? Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that Gidget passed away on the 10th June 2006, She had cancer. Very upset to lose her and Gizmo is very sad. |
| 12th July 2006 Jess | Photography - From: My name is Mr Sausage. I'm an Emergency First Responder. MAY I HELP YOU? Hi Sausages! Love the blog. Just wondering if you could tell me about the camera that you use. Your photos are beautiful and the colours so vibrant. |
| 10th July 2006 Jan | Excellent - From: Who'd be a duck in Peking Just returned from Beijing. Your blog is accurate and literate and your photos are a lot better than mine. |
| 2nd July 2006 Clare Marsland | THIS IS A BLOG AND A HALF! - From: “I expected the Orientals to be inscrutable; I just hadn’t expected them to be inscrutable to my face.” I am printing this off as I don't want to rush read this! Amazing photos and writing, keep it coming. |

If you aren't looking at his previous posts, you're missing out! --Steve |
| 26th June 2006 Alexis | Beautiful Photos! - From: “I expected the Orientals to be inscrutable; I just hadn’t expected them to be inscrutable to my face.” What great pictures! I echo the others' statements-- your photos are quite stunning! |
| 25th June 2006 AlanZ | Amazing Photos... - From: “I expected the Orientals to be inscrutable; I just hadn’t expected them to be inscrutable to my face.” Finally subscribed to your blog today. Your photos are stunning. Hopefully I'll be in Nepal this October and after seeing your blog I think I have to make that happen...Happy travels! |
| 24th June 2006 Anne | Amazing Photography - From: “I expected the Orientals to be inscrutable; I just hadn’t expected them to be inscrutable to my face.” Hello, I've just been browsing through your photos - they're absolutely beautiful. Would you mind letting me know what camera you used? I'm very jealous and want to go to Nepal now. |
| 20th June 2006 Matt | Your eye(s) - From: Possessed by the spirit of Chinggis Khan Hi Kim/Richard - As an amateur photographer who loves to travel I must compliment you on your eye(s) for great images. Your compositions and the technical quality are great! Are these digital or scanned slides? On the food count - did you find any options other than mutton? Well done! |
| 9th June 2006 Fez McCruddock | only slightly jealous - From: Agra-phobia Hello Baccy (and Kim). I have only just become aware of the blog. As everybody else says the pictures are great. I haven't read all of the commentary, yet. See you whenever in Yorkshire, which I try not to leave. |
| 31st May 2006 Alexis | Great pictures! - From: Elephants stole my underpants ... Amazing pictures! |
| 30th May 2006 Amy & Chris | outstanding in all facets - From: Agra-phobia A fantastic read and gorgeous photos. Thanks |

| 23rd May 2006 Jeanbean | excellent - From: Stiletto culture Thanks for a wonderful view into a world that has always been mysterious to me. Great photos! Inciteful writing; just enough travel facts mixed with your impressions to be very compelling. That's one important aspect of travel that many blogs miss. One only needs to read so much of how drunk someone got... thanks for the clinic on how it's done right! |
| 19th May 2006 Cumberland Sausage | Oops - From: These toilets are for customer use only Thanks anonymous. I'll change the title in a bit. I guess the Nepal blog is going to be even more difficult to get right when I put that up. |
| 18th May 2006 anonymous | - From: These toilets are for customer use only your pic of Mt Aspiring is actually of Black Peak - just to let you know - still a beautiful pic though |
| 17th May 2006 Alice | Tallin KGB headquarters - From: Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad Wolf Did you note that the KGB headquarters is now the Russian Embassy? I had a delightful visit in January, 2003, in a vain attempt to get my son a visa to come visit me in St. Petersberg, where I was working for a year. It's a better Museum of Occupation than the official one, as it is equiped with actual Soviet bureaucrats. Their main task is to torment Estonians trying to get into or out of Russia, but they will gladly display their formidable talents to other capitalists. Reason for denying visa: my son had already been to St. Petersberg, and there really isn't that much to see there. A must-see attraction, so don't delay--those Soviets aren't getting any younger. P.S. Tallin cold in the summer? Perhaps, but you miss the icicle-breaking ceremonies which are very cool in January. |
| 10th May 2006 Stephen Paul | please, thank you - From: On the road with Maximum Velocidad Your pictures make me sick! they are so good, they make me feel foolish for even attempting to capture the things I see. Every post is stunning, you must sxpend a lot of time on a laptop organizing and choosing the pics to post. Whatever method to your madness, nice work. One more thing- Dont ever go back to Chile. That way when I move there my pictures wont look so amateur-ish!! :) KEEP TRAVELLING AND KEEP POSTING!!! |
| 4th May 2006 kcipakcipuk | I love your photos - From: Vanishing Charlie Street I had muesli and yoghurt at aussie lady's cafe. (my staple boarding school food I havent had for years) And tiger leaping gorge took a while to grow into. But it all worth it. |
| 3rd May 2006 ravenlynne | Beautiful - From: Pokerface shows his hand The starkness of the land is beautiful! Very minimalist! |
