Up around Agra there were heaps of gum trees planted along the road. Our driver said that they use them for scaffolding, because they grow quickly and are very straight. We went there towards the end of our trip, so I know what you mean - it was great to see them again! Very interesting about the feeling of community that you had. I feel similarly about the free software community (especially Blender). How do you think you will bring it back? Are you already a member of any clubs? Congratulations on finishing your walk. It sounds like it was a great experience.

Arg! Dude, that sounds terrible. I didn't know bed bugs sucked your blood - I thought they just bit. Is it really an allergic reaction, or are they a little poisonous like ticks?

Well Done!
Hey Lucy, I have been reading this blog as you went over the last couple of weeks and have to say it was a great read. Sounds like you can take a lot out of this trip and will have even more to tell back in Canberra. Good on ya! -Riko

Amazing change! Walked 6 km in an hour with back pack; hiking uphill for 7 hours -- what a happy feeling. You must be very fit now.

Mum's Gem
Thanks so much Luci for placing the gem stone I gave you at that lovely Iron Cross of St.James on your pilgrimage walk. It was just perfect for you to place it there. I hope your legs are feeling better.... Love Mum Patricia

For real, a few kilograms can make all the difference!

Medicine is expensive, isn't it? We haven't even started on our trip, and already our suitcase is half-full of gauze etc. Jodie had an operation semi-recently, and we need to take care of it while we're away.

Good idea to take the bus. The last thing you want is to permanently injure your knee! The siestas sound great. Jodie and I are going to Inida next week, so for the past couple of weeks we have been madly working to get everything in order before we leave. On most nights I have been working until midnight. Oh, this holiday is going to be so good.

Wowsers! What an incredibly long way you are walking - and it looks like you have a fair number of mountains, too. No wonder you're getting blisters. Ganbatte!

Lovely song! I thought people only made up songs as they walked in stories. I'll have to try it next time :)

Hey Cous!
How are you going? We´re having a good time, although it´s pretty tough! Most days now are actually around mid twenties so it´s warmer... we´re out of the mountains. What´s happening with you?

Hi big brother!
Hi Chris, thanks for the comment! I didn´t really have access to proper internet for a while so couldn´t update the blog. Each day gets easier as my muscles and feet adapt, though the process is painful... the gear is excellent thanks, I couldn´t live without the water bladder! My hiking shirt is getting tatty as I have to wash it each day. Kim´s bike sounds great! I really hope you get the job, let me know how it goes! Lots of love from Lu

Lovely photos! I especially like the forest, bridge and pilgrim silhouettes. And the wine fountain! Incredible. The countryside is so varied! I'm looking forward to seeing more. :)

Thanks for the photos - they give a clue as to why your hands were frozen on day 1!!!!!! And that was some thick chocolate in Paris. Made me think of the film of the same name. You seem to be having lovely weather. Have you replaced Sarah yet? It's probably good travelling with three, and not just as a lookout! Have fun and keep safe and well. Love from Mum

Wish we were there!
Thank you so much Lucy,for writing this blog. It is so much fun to read and is almost the first thing I do when I get up-click on to see an update. How wonderful is modern technology. Hope the bodies are indeed adjusting to the rhythm of the walk with no blisters etc. Angi's photos will be amazing, close up of bulls and all. We pray for you both every day, for a safe and wonderful trip. Enjoy this experience and store up lots of lovely memories. Love to you both from Helen and Rick xxxxxxx
