| 29th April 2006 Erik 2006 | Reliving a previous trip through your stories and photos - From: Agra-phobia Hi. I travelled through Northern India three years ago. It is great to relive my experiences through your great photography and stories. At the moment I'm back in India, travelling through the South. It was fun to see that you had the same boatman for your trip to the Keralan backwaters as we had! Thank you, and keep up the good work! Erik |
| 25th April 2006 Cumberland Sausage | Girls?? - From: The multicoloured slop swap I guess I was trying to be polite ... see "City Of Djinns" by William Dalrymple for a sensitive account of the lives of some of India's estimated 750,000 eunuchs. |
| 25th April 2006 Cumberland Sausage | Where are the cricket pics ??? - From: A hardening of the heart in the land of the economic miracle. They wouldn't let us bring cameras into the ground, for fear we would angrily toss them at Rahul Dravid in an attempt to get the run rate moving (great batsman, India would have been lost in the tests without him). Apparently when Pakistan visits they have to watch for this sort of thing. |
| 24th April 2006 Paul Hague | Oi, Nutter ..... yes you! - From: The multicoloured slop swap I'm gobsmacked that you went right into the heart of a favella in Rio to get a few photos. What's wrong with the usual tourist snaps of Sugarloaf mountain and the Copacabana? I always thought you were bonkers. Now I know for sure. Still, it seems you got out alive and with an amazing set of photos to boot. Did Kim accompany you? By the way, do you want your mountain bike back as we're off to Sarawak in September. |
| 18th April 2006 technoheckno | Sri Lanka - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. Great Photos. I visited 2 weeks prior to the Tsunami and went back last December. It's important that people visit - otherwise the poor just get poorer. The Sri Lankans are some of the friendliest, kindest people I've ever met. http://www.wylamontyne.co.uk/pics/srilankapics2004/ |
| 13th April 2006 Emily | - From: The most expensive swamp on Earth. the photos are fantastic - love the peacock especially. Will keep an eye out for your photos in future! |
| 7th April 2006 Jayne | Tango'd - From: You know when you've been tangoed. Brilliant - I couldn't stop laughing as I know exactly what you're talking about and this made a great reading, photo's are superb. Jayne |
| 6th April 2006 Franco | - From: The burning ring of fire Agree with other commentor. Great writing and photos. |
| 3rd April 2006 Mark | Highest "Navigable" Lake - From: I, Tourist I think they just want to claim Lake Titicaca as the highest something in the world. I know Lake Tilicho in the Annapurna region of Nepal is higher (between 5,000m and 5,200m depending on the map you look at), so I guess the fact that Lake Titicaca is used and navigated constantly by people as part of their daily lives gives it the title of highest "Navigable" Lake. Who knows though!!! |
| 30th March 2006 Adrian | See you in Thailand - From: A hardening of the heart in the land of the economic miracle. WHERE ARE THE CRICKET PICS?????? From a disappointed fan |
| 30th March 2006 KHolmes | These girls really gave it their all ...Girls?? - From: The multicoloured slop swap Is that a tongue in cheek comment... |
| 30th March 2006 Shugster | Great Photos - From: A hardening of the heart in the land of the economic miracle. some AMAZING shots... makes me want to go right now! |
| 29th March 2006 ALB | Cumberland Sausage - From: A hardening of the heart in the land of the economic miracle. Hey Cumberland Sausage, yeah your photos are absolutely stunning, truly straight out of National Geographic (any offers yet?!), but have you ever seen sausage like on Weez n Wife's lateast blog?! Check it out. Now that's some serious sausage! Safe travels. |
| 28th March 2006 Mena | - From: Where have all the people gone? I too am fascinated by your travel log and the photos are just unbelievable, love it all!!!!! |
| 27th March 2006 ConMel | - From: A hardening of the heart in the land of the economic miracle. Great pictures as usual - sorry I couldn't read the whole thing, but really enjoying your travels! |
| 27th March 2006 susan | thankies - From: Apple Museum? No, we spent too long at the Jam Factory thankyou thankyou for displaying these beautiful photos of tas, they have me itching to get back there (next december, so far away..). your photography is inspirational. |
| 26th March 2006 Gerry Aitken | - From: A hardening of the heart in the land of the economic miracle. Loved the photos. I can relate to all your comments about India, beautifully observed. I wondered whether my photos were as good as yours (I think I need to read that Simon Callow book!), but one things for sure I can't match the length of your prose! See http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Uttar-Pradesh/Varanasi/blog-1948.html "A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed, and is, thereby, a true manifestation of what one feels about life in its entirety" Ansel Adams |
| 26th March 2006 mena | - From: Dettol Wow, Dettol do I remember the smell and boy do I miss it too!! |
| 24th March 2006 Cumberland Sausage | To Hymie - From: Il Furioso and the Twins of Doom Hi Hymie, Thanks for your kind and thorough comments. You might not believe me but I do try to keep politics out of these blogs but I'm afraid it is an aspect of life and travel I am very interested in. At least half the books I read are of a political or historical nature. You are correct in that my political comments apply to more to Australia as a whole, not Melbourne in particular, which appears to me to have a fairly broad and tolerant outlook. However it may be that if we ever met and discussed politics you would find my views quite intolerable (many do), but then in making this presumption perhaps I am being genuinelly insulting. BTW, I'm also trying not to be deliberately insulting to the people of the places we visit, but I also am holding a lot back at times. Wishing you great travels and long may the Ashes live in England. |
| 23rd March 2006 Hymie | Cult following - From: Il Furioso and the Twins of Doom I've only been a travel blog user for a bit over a month now, and noticed you had a cult following, so when I saw that you had blogged Melbourne I couldn't put off reading your blogs any longer. My wife and I are on a honeymoon/working holiday for the year and we hail from the Yarra Valley. Your photos are fantastic, and the amount of time you devote to your subject is also terrific. Must admit our blog is only really for us and friends and family at home, so I don't always provide a totally honest portrayal of our thoughts. We don't want to offend anyone from all of the continents/countries we have visited and made friends with. So I loved your commentary, but was a bit taken aback by your political analysis. I guess that is the Western political climate at the moment (we are currently in London where Mr. Blair has seen a rapid decline in popularity and is being bashed from pillar to post by the media). Just hope that Melbourne isn't associated with the negative political ideas that are tied to Western government at the moment by the many people who read your blog (Canberra can have the association if you want). I really loved your blog though and along with watching the Commonwealth Games it helps us keep strong ties with home. Wish we could travel as much of the world as you have, but we'll settle for going close. Look forward to reading the rest of your blogs, and if you get a chance check our blog and let us know of places we must visit. Cheers Hymie. |
| 22nd March 2006 Scuba Bruce | Diving - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. Love the diving photos as well as all your others....made me want to visit the Conch wreck Thanks |
| 19th March 2006 Ree | Elephant , Landscape, and Sea Life Pictures - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. Wow!!! I did not mind staying up late to view your captivating photos and journal entry. Thanks so much for sharing these!!! Ree |
| 5th March 2006 Natalie | Great! - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. We just came back from Sri Lanka and I think your site is great. I join you in encouraging people to visit Sri Lanka! We have travelled many places, particularly in southeast Asia, and this was just my favourite trip, ever. The people and the country are wonerful. |
| 1st March 2006 WJ | - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. Very balanced report & great pictures. NEWS the world knows of many parts of the world are sham. I think more and more people are coming to believe this, but sadly there are still many more who don't - or perhaps more sadly, won't. |
| 25th February 2006 margaret carty | Sri Lanka - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. Absolutely awesome, keep your pictures and blogs coming. I just love hearing from you guys. |
| 25th February 2006 Kevin | Wow! That's beautiful! - From: Who'd be a duck in Peking |
| 25th February 2006 Cumberland Sausage | To SA - From: The dream is nearly over When I read your comment I thought you probably have a point. However having read the blog again I stand by every word - I think it is an accurate assessment of my experience of tasting South African wines. Blogs are about opinions ... and blogs about tasting wine doubly so. Somehow I feel the South African wine industry will survive my comments, and the many people the world over who enjoy South African wines (and if you read carefully you will see I also am one) will continue to enjoy them. Many thanks for reading the blog, and I can only add that my two visits to your country have been wonderful and I hope to have many chances to go there again. |
| 24th February 2006 SA | Why insult our wines? - From: The dream is nearly over I'm glad you enjoyed South Africa even though our wines cant compare to any other in the world? I've been living in the Middle East and everywhere I go people commented on how much they enjoy South African wines. So, if you dont like it why make it a known fact? At least South AFricans enjoy it....and we know how to spell place names we visit. |
| 24th February 2006 Olav from Morway | Astonishing pictures !! - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. Your pictures are just great !! I have looked at all your pictures, and they are of world class. Waiting for the next pictures with excitement. |
| 22nd February 2006 jess | - From: Pokerface shows his hand Your photos are an inspiration , if you make a book, ill buy a copy! |
| 19th February 2006 Steve Lou | Sri Lanka - From: The biggest bang since the big one Hi...like many on this site I follow your blogs with interest...stunning photos. However, we are doubly fortunate, as by chance you seemed to have 'followed' us around South America, and so it's great to see such great pictures of where we have also been. However, I can't believe many people go from South America to Sri Lanka...but we did (via london and India), so I'm delighted to be looking forward to some excellent shots from what is a beautiful and friendly Island. Don't miss Yala for the Leopards (I'm sure you'll get a better shot than our fuzzy long distance efforts), and if you get a sunrise at adams peak we'll all be in for a photo treat !! Cheers. Steve and Lou |
| 10th February 2006 Cumberland Sausage | To the Bond Family - From: The biggest bang since the big one Great to hear from you again. Alas the same fate awaits us in a few months. Hope you will be off on more adventures soon. Cheers. |
| 10th February 2006 Cumberland Sausage | EOS 20D ... - From: The biggest bang since the big one There is a soporific description of our camera gear a few blogs back, somewhere around Australia. |
| 10th February 2006 Holden | Best pictures yet!! - From: The biggest bang since the big one Those must be the best pictures rendered of the Fragrant Harbour that i've seen!

| 8th February 2006 Bond Family | Brings Back Great Memories - From: The biggest bang since the big one We try to catch up and check out your wonderful blogs often. Hard to believe it's been 6 months since we ended our world trip! We're back in Florida and to our boring daily routines...isn't it sad! Your Hong Kong blog brought back fond memories of our visit last May and the 3 years we lived there. Chinese New Year in Hong Kong is the BEST! Keep up the great blogs so we can keep living through you! |

| 30th January 2006 Conn | - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra hey man don't be so pre-occupied with crime and death and thievs. every place you go you seem to be looking for the crims. Your photos are great and alot of the commentary too. In sth america you will find crime everywhere. Were you mugged or shot at in Rio ? No. |
