Taste sensations
Sounds like the first part of your trip has been a sensory feast, with lots of beer and interesting food to tantalize the taste buds. Good to see some boats in there is well, just for good measure. Love to the four of you modern nomads! X

WOW
Hey well done for sticking with India. I have been lead to believe that the smog, smells, and press of people is way out of our experience. Cath you look as fresh as a daisy even after so many days nay months of travelling. Go girl. Hope to see you on 13th Dec in Brisbane. Cheers, Fi

Walk like an Egyptian
What an awesome experience you guys are having. Love hearing about all your adventures. (BTW - if you get good camels for Elise, let me know, maybe we could do a package deal....)

Egypt to India
Hi Greg and Catherine, Alex and Jill located your blog for me. What a great trip through a fascinating part of the world. In July 2008, Kerry and I were in Egypt (traveled down the Nile in a falukah) and we too snorkelled in the Red Sea (north of Sharm el Sheikh - on the Saudi side). We were there in June-July - truly hot. Look forward to reading more. Safe trip, Linda Cartmill

What a crossing!
I am astounded by your recount of the journey. Not for the faint-hearted, but you two never fell into that category. But where are the pictures? Were they censored? Look foward to the next installment. Love Ed x

Safe Again
Dear Cath and Greg Despite closely following the news where no pirate reports were mentioned, it is wonderful to hear from you again after an understandable silence. What an irreplacable experience! I expect that you will both go to the range to keep up your firing practice when you get home! We look forward to face to face descriptions of your splendid trip. Stay safe in India. Expect you home on 19th Greg, and soon hear the result of the Darwin meeting. Much love Mum and Dad

So glad to hear about the SAFE crossing!
It was great to finally read about your crossing to Goa. I kindof assumed that the stop in Oman had been eliminated. It sounds like it was an interesting-to say the least-trip from Safaga. We had a blast in Luxor and in Cairo. While it's nice to be home, I would have preferred to stay on the ship with you all. Great to meet you both! I hope you enjoy the next portions of your trip/s! Keep the blogs coming!!

Cruising for a bruising
Great story, the trip sounded fantastic especially after punching into the storm for 3 days. A short slog across Moreton Bay would be so easy now! cheers Blair

What fun to get to know you!
Hi Greg and Catherine! Spent a magic evening at the Sheraton sipping wine on the banks of the Nile then on to the airport for flight to Cairo. Almost missed the flight to NY (travel agent will hear about it) but made it home to the other side of the world last night. Feeling pretty weird this AM but on the way to recovering. REALLY enjoyed getting to know you two and looking forward to following the rest of your trip. Wish we were there. I'll try to hide a link here to the picture of us at Karnak (I think!) 8^) Copy and paste if you can: ...oneupaudio.com/temp/greg-cath-mike-suzie.jpg... (Omit the dots at beginning and end.) Take care and have fun, Mike and Suzie

Have a slab of halva for me!
Hope you had some halva for me! Looks delish. Weather is warming up here. Nick and Mike have about three weeks to go. Work is hectic, planning to take about 3 weeks holiday with much of the time in HK. Love the photos. Love from Leigh.

Just another day or so !
We can only wonder, wonder at the beauty you try to describe, wonder at the exhilaration of being among mind-blowing cultures so different from the daily one we all take for granted. The tone of your writings evidence your awed recognition of those fantastic experiences. Detailed records guarantee that what we believe will never be forgotten is surety that what we see tomorrow will not expunge the wonders of today, which will inevitably be so otherwise. You are grabbing and storing every moment: Congratulations! Much love Mum and Dad

Pirates
If you happen to see any small exploding dots on the horizon, please do not just assume it is some lovely boat with fireworks. Please scream pirates, give yourself the role of 'safety director' and begin taking the list of 'first in best dressed' for super speedy life boats. Please put yourselves on the top of the list. Just a suggestion.... x

Fantastic and all good in BNE
Hey that sounds so wonderful in Cairo. It is unimagineable that all that is longer ago BC than we are AD! And people were just doing their thing back then too! Just got back from BNE yesterday. All really going well at home. Elise and Lydia are doing so well together and thoroughly enjoying themselves. They collaborate very well and have done more entertaining than you could keep up with! They are cooking this and that and demonstrate a wonderful ability to manage their domestic, personal and romantic affairs! Dean is a regular topic of conversation!the only thing not doing so well are the pot plants! I think that they would probably prefer you to be their tenders and will undoubtedly tell you their long and gruelling experience of living in the hot dry desert and having near death experiences! But home is a long way away - so be reassured that all is well and will be so until you are home. Go well, lots of love Fi

Where's the map?
Hi Catherine, Sounds fascinating even for a landlubber like me! Will you enter the Gulf of Aquaba, my number one interesting place to go? We look forward to the photos. In the meantime Darren and I are keeping the state population epidemiology function above water! All good.... but miss you. Best wishes to you both, Love M

Safe Sails!
Happy sailing over the seas. Hoping the oceans are rough enough for adventure, but soft enough for sleep. Look forward to hearing your pirate tails. Cheers LA

Don't know whether a message will get to you but Doug Fowler emailed me tonight to say that Bill Heath died peacefully tonight about 8.30pm with all family there. He let me know couple of days ago that Bill had a fall at nursing home, had brain bleeding and coma from which he did not recover. Family decided that surgery was unwise.Son Douglas replied to my earlier call this morning saying they did not expect Dad to live long. I asked him to let me know funeral details and may hear from him tomorrow. Barbara and I will try to get there especially to represent you, and will contact Elise to ask if she and Alex might like to go with us. Much love

Remember reading something about Mostar. What wonders you are seeing . Elise forgot to open the shedf for me to access power so was not able to do any more with steps. Am concerned that whatever can be done with bog etc may still leave weakness. Scraped some more rot from inside timber where I had hoped to place wood block. Perhaps better to discuss with you Greg when you get home. travel safely. we spent weekend seeing Les Miserables on Sunday EXCELLENT! and nights with Paul and Jan. He was not well after op but well on mend. Gone to Perth for 4 days. Love Dad. Hi from me! Loving all your tales of adventure and the photos are great. I have read The People of the Book - loved it and have now borrowed it from Terry to read again. Take care Love Mum.
