| 9th August 2006 anonymous | - From: From Arabian Nights to British Pub Nights Ah, it's brought a tear to my eye! What else will I read at work in my lunchbreaks! Thanks for making me jealous and sending me amazing pictures, it's been great. Give me a call when you've settled down in London, i'm living south of the river too! Lots of love Jessie xx |
| 9th August 2006 Heiko | Why should this be the end??? - From: From Arabian Nights to British Pub Nights Hi Simon. Thanks also from your buddy from Aotearoa. Man, I flipped through some of your earlier blogs and only then one realises how much you have seen and experienced. I bet you will have a great time reading all this again yourself!! Great having met you and I reckon your email contact lis is probably as big as the grin you waer when someone asks you: So, what have you been up to lately? .... Little do they know... But hey, just as many have said before me, we enjoyed reading your many updates and now I wonder: why should it stop here? I would like to hear how you like the beginning of your professional life, the antics at work and your personal feelings about clashing with, no doubt, narrow-minded people, who have not had the privilege to do what you have been able to do. Love and Peace, Dude! Heiko |
| 8th August 2006 Dave Palmer | - From: From Arabian Nights to British Pub Nights Thanks for your excellent bloggs, I will miss reading them each week. See ya soon Dave. |
| 7th August 2006 Hayley | - From: From Arabian Nights to British Pub Nights Simon, glad to know that you're back home safe and sound. i have to say that i will definitely miss the little bits of Simon that pop up in my inbox every week or two and I will also miss living vicariously through you as you do all sorts of things i will probably never get to! i've seen and learned a lot and i think you should become a travel writer...in case your next job doesn't work out. hope to talk to you soon! |
| 6th August 2006 Caroline M | - From: From Arabian Nights to British Pub Nights Thanks for keeping me entertained for the past six months.

What a bummer getting your money stolen >:-( amazing views to make up for it though. Keep writing - it's really interesting to learn about all these places I'd like to go to but probably never will! look after yourself. El. |

Hey! you are still on the move goodness i thought that you were back in England already. clearly i haven't been in touch with my computer. Your life is still interesting...mine is hectic i got a 20-25 paper due this Thurs. oops i just realized it 2 days ago. bummer. i think that i just want to fly out and meet you near giraffes! then we would go and meet the blue monkey hehe and offer some cookies and tea. Oh if fun wishing could only come true... I'll check back on your wonderings once i get myself out of this paper writing mess. big hug! adieu |
| 2nd July 2006 Mum | Bats and warthogs - From: Back to the cradle of man - and 101 photos of Kenya! Despite my geographical leanings, I'm drawn to the wildlife - I love the cute little bats and hairy creepy crawlies, but that warthog is soooooo sad. |
| 25th June 2006 Chris (Brains) | - From: Kenya's Coast - Escaping sex for an island After breifly speaking on msn a month or so back i have read your blog from start to present, and just like everyone else am 100% jelous, wanting to be there on the trip ! :-) Amazed by what you have seen/done/acheived thus far, brilliant photograpy as well !, dont worry about long entrys and lots of photos, all the more interesting. Btw, sounds like you have your first offical stalker, best watch out when you step off the next plane/train/automobile, never know who will be waiting ;-) |
| 21st June 2006 Rommany | hee hee! - From: Kenya's Coast - Escaping sex for an island Stopped reading when the prostitute went away due to internet cafe charges, as I m back in merry old Italy watching the england matches with ex pats in Irish pubs...but heehee! Simon got hounded by a whore. Oh bless you Mr. too mice english guy. Sounds like you re still just about enjoying stuff though, so take care. I ll look forward to a whole new set of blogs once I m back in blighty. Take care Simon! |
| 21st June 2006 Julia | - From: Kenya's Coast - Escaping sex for an island Don't worry - you're not the only one. I managed to wander onto what I think was an army base when I was in Austria. Some rather upset guards managed to explain to me (in the days when I spoke no German and these guys spoke next to no English) that there had been a sign about a mile further back. On the way back I checked. Yep, sign there. On a gate. Which was wide open so the sign was actually in the hedge. Love your blog - so interesting! |
| 19th June 2006 Marc | Still In NZ - From: Hakuna Matata - a lazy man's dream Wow, great to see hptots of India. much memories flooded back. also the pics from Africa are stunning. Just like it looks in books. may raid some of your travelling adventures for ideas of where to go on the way home. take care man. marc |
| 14th June 2006 Rory | Is it really THAT bad? - From: Hakuna Matata - a lazy man's dream Come on - that photo of 'not so modern' Nairobi looks no worse than the road down by the Cockpit/Train Station in Leeds! Then again I suppose Leeds is hardly a paragon of Western Civilisation! Looks like you're still having an amazing time, especially on safari - awesome photos! Oh and I wanna ask you sumthin else but check ur emails for that I'll save boring anyone else who reads this. Have fun! Rorz. |
| 14th June 2006 Heiko | Brrrrrrr - From: Hakuna Matata - a lazy man's dream What a great contrast to your past fotos. Love the sights and the open spaces. May the next 7 weeks be packed with wildlife, amazing geography and only few potholes! Keep safe, brother! PS: by the way, we have +1.5 degree and the woodburner roaring. Brrrrr |

| 9th June 2006 travelbuffs | unique - From: The end of curry Myrad, I am from India and have visited Taj Mahal a couple of times. But these pictures bring out something that I have never seen. Good luck! The place could be dirty, but the people are nice. Have fun! |
| 7th June 2006 tristan | gidday - From: The end of curry hello Wadders! havn't written for a while, but thought it was high time. Hope the dysentry and cholera aren't keeping you up at night! Might see you in the UK in early August if you are back then. Tristan. |
| 6th June 2006 J-P | Into Africa... - From: The end of curry Good Luck Simon, (yes, it's a good luck with captials...gettin' serious :) ) hope Africa lives up to India and when you get home we'll be ready to horrify you with our decadent western ways once more. All the best, J-P |
| 4th June 2006 Mum | Bob & the dung beetles - From: 3 Cities, A Close Shave and Bob the Camel Love this latest blog; you may think it's not up to Everest standards but I laughed out loud, trying to visualise you on Bob, the horny donkeys - how did you know? - and all the other, wonderful, sights. What adventures you are having! Waitrose is going to be so boring!!!! |
| 27th May 2006 J-P | - From: 3 Cities, A Close Shave and Bob the Camel blimey, the old dude in the desert and the sleeping wild dogs... ...good photos Simon...and I hope you stay shaven. It's disgusting all this unshorn nonsense... |
| 22nd May 2006 Rommany | India! - From: From homeless guy to Wedding dancer Hi. As ever your journal entries make a nice half hour break from slogging through my finals. All still looks amazing. Take care! |
| 17th May 2006 Susan | - From: From homeless guy to Wedding dancer Wow Simon, not only are you travelling the world expirincing other cultures but you actually take part in these new cultures. Friggin cool. I can't believe they were so nice, you'd see none of that over here in North America. |
| 17th May 2006 Mum | Chipmunks and saris - From: From homeless guy to Wedding dancer Bet that chipmunk enjoyed a cornflake or two - made a nice change from naan! What incredible sights - and a bath as well - pure luxury after Everest Base Camp. Take care, don't overheat! Mum X |
| 17th May 2006 J-P | Oh wow... - From: From homeless guy to Wedding dancer ...best bit so far I'd say... ...just stay on the right side of the big guys an' you'll be fine :D |
| 15th May 2006 Jonathan | Kenya dude - From: India - let's go World Heritage sight-seeing Hi Simon, Hopefully you've seen the email that I copied you in on. Think we're all set for a 3 day Camping Safari as soon as we get to Nairobi, then back to my mate's uncles for a couple of nights. Then I'm buggering off back to Blighty, keep reminding me to bring the tent for you, as you might be stuck otherwise!!! Dammit I wish was in India too with you right now! See you real soon. |
| 13th May 2006 Mike | Danger - High Voltage! - From: India - let's go World Heritage sight-seeing Of course, all us train buffs know what OHE means, and can only be slightly bemused instead of cracking up into peals of laughter. |
| 7th May 2006 afsan | congrats - From: PART2: Everest Base Camp - Journey to the bottom of the top of the World wow!! awesome man :). the view must be even more magnificent in person. can't believe you did it with such limited gear...the locals would be proud :). |

| 4th May 2006 Austin | - From: Nepal - a fascinating culture in a troubled country You should have gone to Specsavers |
| 2nd May 2006 Heiko | never underestimate the power of the wooly hat! - From: PART2: Everest Base Camp - Journey to the bottom of the top of the World Well done, mate. That's one true and pure adventure. You made it without unnecessary luxuries, that's the way to do it. I am proud of you. |
| 2nd May 2006 Heiko | brrrr - From: PART1 - Everest Base Camp - Journey to the bottom of the top of the World. Man, my hands started getting all cold reading your story and checking out your photos. Very impressive. Were you tempted to press further than EBC? maybe next time? Do you think you could do it? I bet you are looking forward to the heat of Africa now...... Keep the stories and pics coming! |
| 1st May 2006 julia | Crazy world! - From: PART2: Everest Base Camp - Journey to the bottom of the top of the World Well done on making it, you're obviously v proud, and rightly so! Amazing experience by the sound of it. Obviously I would have given up after an hour with altitude sickness and a sprained ankle..... Julia x |
| 1st May 2006 Rommany | Wow! - From: PART2: Everest Base Camp - Journey to the bottom of the top of the World Simon, that's f***ing incredible. Sorry to swear but really I cannot begin to imagine how hard the last two weeks must have been. What an experience - and trust you to do it the way you did, which must make it so much more satisfying - no luxury just pure will power. You did it all yourself, good on you! I'm working on my last piece of summative work before my finals and reading your blog has made my day. I woke up pretty miserable and you have just reminded me how downright amazing this little ol' world really is. Keep 'em coming Simon, and take care x |
| 30th April 2006 Amanda | insane in the main brain! - From: PART1 - Everest Base Camp - Journey to the bottom of the top of the World. Hey! holy shit! I never knew that you were going to go over there! It looks so cold that i don't really care about wishing to be traveling with you any longer. keep the craziness up! |
| 29th April 2006 grandad (proud) | - From: PART2: Everest Base Camp - Journey to the bottom of the top of the World Fantastic. Can,t wait for the book. |
| 20th April 2006 Phillip | Marriott - From: Nepal - a fascinating culture in a troubled country On a business trip to Albuquerque New Mexico, air condition is on, nice dinner this evening and a clean bed at a Marriott - then I read your blog and see the pictures - I will not complain all the way home on the jet tomorrow. Great comments as I see the way the Native Americans are viewed here in New mexico - show some respect as you know is what is needed- Phill |
| 15th April 2006 Leanne | why o why - From: Nepal - a fascinating culture in a troubled country Simon, one question; why didnt you ask me to go with you?! It looks like your having an amazing time and seeing things that i can only dream of. Next time you go traveling, (not that you have anywhere left to see as youve seen pretty much the whole world), take me with you!... |
| 15th April 2006 Kathy | Hey Seem'oh! - From: Nepal - a fascinating culture in a troubled country You know... maybe there wouldn't be so much tension/violence on the streets if your people didn't try to colonize my people... bad joke! Anyway, as always, it's good to hear from you. Sounds like you're having an eventful trip. I hope you're enjoying your extended vacation and not getting into too much trouble. Take care of yourself!! Kathy xo |
| 29th March 2006 Callum | Watch out for the buddhas - From: Completing the circle My Girlfriend likes the Pha That Luang photo! Make sure you don't get 'Buddhad' out. You can get 'Buddha Blindness', where you have seen too many Buddhist temples and so by the end, you are left standing gawping with a thousand yard stare when the guide book suggests you go and see the 'laughing/ sitting/ emerald/ golden/ great buddha', in some town or other even when it may be quite good. I suggest being selective about your Buddhas - you can have too much of a good thing. Go easy bud |
| 28th March 2006 Mum | camera idea! - From: Completing the circle We've all heard the phrase, "What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?"..........well, "What does a Tibetan monk wear under his robe?" (should one's mother be asking that?! |
| 22nd March 2006 Laura | Crashed again! - From: 'Friends', Row-men, Countryfolk To be fair, I haven't read all of this one due to work demands but feel compelled to mock the kayaking "crash" as a fairly regular occurance when ur in a kayak.....I may remind u of one day back in Canada with a little running aground & some backwards rapids (well ok currents! but hey all in the name of mocking!) Glad ur finding time to relax with a beer or 2! |
| 22nd March 2006 Callum | - From: 'Friends', Row-men, Countryfolk I've only managed to look at the photos so far but you look cool with a shaved head bro |
| 22nd March 2006 Mum | What a title! - From: 'Friends', Row-men, Countryfolk Mmmmm, nice suit! That snake doesn't look very dead to me! What a corny title........your best yet (I don't think) Have fun! |
| 22nd March 2006 Will | snakes - From: 'Friends', Row-men, Countryfolk that is a cobra not a python,i hope it was dead! |
| 22nd March 2006 Billybob | oh dear god - From: 'Friends', Row-men, Countryfolk congratulations on the new levels of campness you are relentlessly managing to achieve. xx |
| 21st March 2006 Callum | I want a suit! - From: Hello Tailors! Dude, i know its hard to find the time to tell everyone what you are up to anyway so don't worry about writing to us individually! If I had known you were going to the tailors I would have got a tailor here to measure me, found out what the measurements were, got rid of him and sent them to you with the money! Mate, take care of yourself and keep it real. ps I wish I was living the adventures rather than arguing for and against "Is there a European Identity?" I don't care anymore!!! |
| 17th March 2006 Mum | Green with envy - From: Hello Tailors! I know we've been to a lot of places in the world but your adventures continue to make me so jealous. It's another world out there. Love the pic of the bug in the web! One day that pile of money will be £20 notes and you'll be rich! Everwhere looks so sunny and hot, what I wouldn't give for a bit of heat right now; it's bloody freezing here! |
| 17th March 2006 Phill | Great pictures - From: Hello Tailors! The kids liked looking at the pictures, make my trip to New Mexico seem sooooo tame. Cheers - Phill |
| 17th March 2006 Cousin Colin | Bug picture - From: Hello Tailors! I hope you come back to America -loveColin |
| 17th March 2006 Cousin Grace | Favorate Picture - From: Hello Tailors! Dear Uncle Simon - I like the picture of you holding the money and the picture of the bridge at night - love Cousin Grace |
| 16th March 2006 Heiko | Thank YOU!!! - From: Hello Tailors! Hi Simon. Since I subscribed to your blog, I certainly read all your postings. It's a great little escape from the office adventures I am sure most of your blog readers enjoy: nightmarisch stuff like: the milk in the fridge is gone? - Who stole my sellotape? - 101 different stickers you can pin on your colleague's back.... isn't work life great ??? So thank YOU for spicing up our dull time in the office (or whereever people read your blog) So, you are half way through your world trip...wow... I wonder whether you still remember all your adventures and names of people you spent some time with. I bet you will have lots of aaahhhs and ooooh yeahh when you read you blog after you ahev returned to the UK.... Only that much... shoudl you need some accomodation in (very) good ol' Aotearoa on future trips, look me up. You haven't see all of it... :-) Take care and keep the blogs comming. |
| 16th March 2006 Rommany | Hi! - From: Hello Tailors! Hi! I've just finished my dissertation!! Hurrah! Was really hoping I'd go to hotmail and find a blog...and I did! yay! Just thought I'd share my excitement with you!!! Now I'll actually read the thing...! FINISHED!!! WOOO! |
| 15th March 2006 grandad | - From: Of rivers and war thanks for the card.keep the blogs coming .they make my day |
| 14th March 2006 Danielle | simon! show some respect! - From: Of rivers and war ummm, i'm sorry, but did i just read that you WATCHED A MAN WASH HIMSELF!!!! did anyone else catch that? hahahahahahah |
| 11th March 2006 Alexis | hi. happened to browse here while looking for interesting travel blogs - From: Philippines Photos Part I i live in the philippines. That church you have in your picture is San Agustin Church. I remember going there for a field trip and getting locked inside the garden while having lunch there with a teacher and some classmate. I also got freaked out by one of the saints lining the corridors, the one with an axe on his head. Anyway, i hope you enjoyed your visit here. |
| 11th March 2006 Rommany | hee hee - From: Of rivers and war Oh Simon, I think you and the hat must the most touristy picture so far :-) Glad to see you're still having a good time though. Take care! |
| 10th March 2006 Mum | - From: Of rivers and war Well, if you don't like working for John Lewis, you can certainly make it as a travel writer; that way someone else gets to pay for everything! Great use of similes! Got any ideas for new ways to cook rice? |
| 6th March 2006 Phill | We continue in awe of the adventure - From: The Motorcycle Diaries Simon - We have been looking at the blog, looking onthe world map and Grace and Colin just want to know how to get there - Wow Wow - grate pictures, love the choc hills |
| 5th March 2006 Will | wondeful - From: The Motorcycle Diaries i loved this entry,your best so far. |
| 5th March 2006 Mum | - From: The Motorcycle Diaries Great blog, once again. Have you thought about sending a copy to a Mr J Ross?-he'd be dead chuffed! PS Did you try any snails? |
| 5th March 2006 Rory | dude! - From: The Motorcycle Diaries Well, it had to happen sometime. The perfect flow of Queens English grammar in these here blogs has finaly come to an end with 'I was well impressed' bringing the stain of Americanisms along. Ah well. Oh and that has to be the least bombed looking bombed house ive ever seen, if that makes sense. But apart from that, the jealousy is still not subsiding after all this time, and looks like you're still having an amazing time. Git. Speak soon mate, and keep on living life to the full! |
| 2nd March 2006 Austin | Cute? I don't think so. - From: Philippine Photos Part II I know a great recipe for tarsier casserole (stew to the working class) although it is advised to remove metatarsals and phalanges (distal, middle and proximal) as they pose a choking hazard. |
| 1st March 2006 GlenW | Travellers cheques - From: Philippine Photos Part II Hi Simon, Did you take travellers cheques, if so have you had problems cashing them outside of Manila? Glen |
| 28th February 2006 Mum | - From: Philippine Photos Part II Mr Spotty Lizard - now I see why you used a pen, not your finger - he looks evil! |
| 28th February 2006 Rommany | travels - From: The good, the bad and the ugly Hey there...the pictures are just breathaking and have been all the way through. However the beaches aren't really the reason for travel are they, and although cambodia's history is truly awful, I guess that's the kind of thing you really should learn about, which sort of justifies the trip. It's important that these things are common knowledge across the world. Anyway, keep on trekking and keep on posting! 3 Weeks til dissertation's in...I need the support! |
| 27th February 2006 Caroline | wow - From: Philippines Photos Part I Sounds like your having a great time!! I am sat auditing near Heathrow Airport so living a very different type of dream!! Keep sending the pictures and news. stay safe Caroline x |
| 24th February 2006 Steve O | What to say? - From: The good, the bad and the ugly I happened to be listening to "Imagine" when I began reading your blog, and I have to admit I was quite upset by the time I'd finished it. Written wise, for me, that was the best blog so far. I will learn more about Cambodia I promise. |
| 23rd February 2006 Mum | Wow! - From: The good, the bad and the ugly What an incredble experience.....I shall use the pics in my lessons, currently covering abuse of human rights with Year 11. Thank you! |
| 20th February 2006 Claire | Hi - From: Oh my god, Simon's finally written a smaller blog! Hi Simon - missing you - at work - gotta go - phone d'oh |
| 18th February 2006 Carla | - From: Sabah photos awwww, I loves that hermit crab!! awesome pictures. still jealous :P |
| 18th February 2006 Susan | - From: Sabah photos Holy crap, that spider is creepy looking! Great photos though Simon, keep em coming! |
| 14th February 2006 Elaine | - From: The journey continues...(ok, so these titles are lacking in inspiration - any ideas?) wow you have no idea how much I would rather be out travelling like you than stuck here in an office in front of a computer all day. Good for you for getting out there and seeing all these amazing things! if I close my eyes I can almost imagine that the whirring of the air conditioning is waves lapping the shore, and the tapping of keys is some exotic bird... oh who am I kidding?! take care xx :-) |
| 14th February 2006 Bill Oddie | animals - From: The journey continues...(ok, so these titles are lacking in inspiration - any ideas?) yes the tarsier is incorrectly labelled the smallest monkey in the world,its give away sign to its correct family is its legs,it is infact a marsupial (like the kangaroos)and is indeed the smallest of the group. the lizard you saw is undoubtedbly a Tokkay,(Gekkos Gekko),called Tokkay due to its distinctive call.Indeed one of the largest of the gekkos,common throughout south east asia.They sell them in snakes and adders in Kirkstall for 12 pounds,i nearly bought one last week but apparently,pound for pound there bite is equivalent to a rottveiler. Lucky you used that pen and not your finger! |
| 12th February 2006 Julia | Spag-bog...? - From: The journey continues...(ok, so these titles are lacking in inspiration - any ideas?) Ummm... Yes, still jealous. Even the Bamboo Organ Festival sounds interesting! But then, I AM a muso. |
| 12th February 2006 Rom | - From: The journey continues...(ok, so these titles are lacking in inspiration - any ideas?) International Bamboo Organ Festival....Bangkok...Suddenly I m not so jealous...:-) |
| 12th February 2006 Mum | New delicacy? - From: The journey continues...(ok, so these titles are lacking in inspiration - any ideas?) What's sweat n sour fish? .....does it come with rice and a can of deodorant? |
| 12th February 2006 Sarah | - From: The journey continues...(ok, so these titles are lacking in inspiration - any ideas?) Even though some of the other blogs have been far more action packed - the last 2 have definitely been my favourite as even though I am jealous, its really lovely to hear you are having a good time in what has to be one of my favourite (although this doesn't really say much - I would include most countries I have been to in this category) countries...beware the traveller bubble you are on your way to - and remember Thailand is a great place (it actually is despite the sarcasm that follows) to meet other white people, dabble in sex tourism and eat Israeli food....(ignore me I am just wanky - make sure you go to the forensic museum) - hope you keep on having a good time....and thanks - distractions from work are always welcome...xxx |
| 9th February 2006 Leanne/Lilly | why oh why? - From: In search of rice. Simon, as much as i love you, im not gonna read that! who do you think i am? someone who sits on their ass all day with nothing better to do? tell you what, summarise it in no more than 300 words (like you have to do in job app's), post it again, and then, maybe then, i'll read it...Good luck. xxXxx |
| 8th February 2006 Tristan | Deja Fu - From: In search of rice. I am sure that in some distant FUture I shall find myself thinking "Hey, havn't I been here before?" That's right - sarah and I have been planning a trip to Sipadan for the last few months! Get out of my head, evil spirit! Seriously though, keep having a good time. T |
| 5th February 2006 Ellie | - From: In search of rice. Hi! I seem to be stuggling with the technology here.... It sounds like you're having a fantastic time. Its great to hear your stories even if it does make me as jealous as hell! Take care xx |
| 3rd February 2006 Ailis | - From: In search of rice. Simon, great to hear from you. I'm loving the stories. Glad you're having such adventures! Ax |
| 2nd February 2006 Rommany | It means a lot man.. - From: In search of rice. ..non really, you guys are like, really special to me. Oh God Simon's turned into an American. Now I hate him even more. Year of the Dog!!! I'm a Dog!!! Hmm, maybe I shouldn't advertise the fact.... |
| 2nd February 2006 Danielle | :P - From: In search of rice. what are you talking about? you always stink... |
| 2nd February 2006 Cazd_83 | Countless expressions - From: In search of rice. I think that has to be some kind of first. As far as I'm aware, nobody has ever likened an experience to being "like the letters in a game of Boggle". Why do I fear you might be telling peopl more than you want to let on here? And the International Council for Word Usage has penalised you for over-use of the word "jaunt"... Loved reading it hun!! =0P |
| 27th January 2006 Rorz | Jealous... - From: The chaos continues... Hmm yet more stories of how you're having an amazing time while the rest of us slog it out back home eh... still there's one consolation - while you state that it's take you until you're 40 to explore the place properly, at least I can bask in the fact that for you thats only a couple of years... ;p heh j/k me old buddy. (old, geddit - mwahahahaha). Anyways mate carry on havin a fantastic time and speak soon probs. MSN at 2am (for me anyway). Rory |
| 26th January 2006 Willy | deja vu - From: The chaos continues... last year,Helen and I emerged from the midst of a huge tropical storm,soaked through the skin,covered in mud and penniless,at the wrong terminal in kota kinabalu.Those fucking bus drivers! Fortunately we too made it with seconds to spare to terminal 2 and I made a promise then that i would always check my terminal before the flight. (by the way the airport terminals are practically next to each other,we just ran over the brow of the hill?) and yet, less than 6 months later,back in kinabalu,that horrible sinking feeling hit me,as i stood in the wrong terminal building for the second time,with the 'interesting' addition of my entire family. somethings in life are as inevitable as the sunrise. my neverending capacity for idiocy being one example. |
| 24th January 2006 Miss Heather Janson | Hey - From: "Borneo to be Wild (sorry)" I thought about that presentation as soon as I started reading this blog, and now im really jealous of everything you have been looking at! Wish I had been to half the places i've studied! Glad your enjoying yourself, take care H xxx |

| 22nd January 2006 Susan | hey! - From: "Borneo to be Wild (sorry)" To add some pop culture to this post... Wasn't this the place where Surivor was first filmed? I'm glad to hear you're having a blast! keep up the posts! |
| 22nd January 2006 wayne | awesome - From: "Borneo to be Wild (sorry)" Hey Simon! Absolutely enjoyed the stories and people profiles. Travelling is certainly the best way to meet wonderful people of all sorts and eccentricities. We travellers are a funny lot indeed. And a great way with words you have, sir. Keep on bein wild in Borneo and tacklin' those mountains! You working on all 7 contintents? Wayne |

| 12th January 2006 Laura | Happy new yr! - From: A jump, a bang and a whole new date! Finally got a rocket up your arse then! I think that's what made ya finish the trek in one day! Happy new year & enjoy Borneo! |
| 12th January 2006 Carla | OMG!!! Penguins!!! - From: Good Things Come to Those Who Wait wow, this is neat. Im so jealous...my friend just went to New Zealand for a semester... |
| 9th January 2006 AMANDA | the new world - From: A jump, a bang and a whole new date! Simon you look like the great outdoors man! And i love the car-destroying parrot! Can you bring me one of them? Also, guess what? I am going around as a red head these days. Was it cold not having any hair in the snowy region? I bet. haha School started out quite well. Take care and keep the walking up. Honestly you probably never want to close your eyes since you might risk missing something wonderfully unexpected...hope you're getting enough sleep. Cheerios! |
| 6th January 2006 Willo | thats incredible! - From: A jump, a bang and a whole new date! wow by my calculations thats a walk of 37.282 271 534 miles! Thats a really amazing effort for such a fat bastard! enjoy borneo! |
| 5th January 2006 Jonathan | Happy New Year Simon! - From: The road to Cook Happy New Year to ya Simon. I've finally got round to posting a reply, yay. I am the most jealous guy right now, wish I was there, and your photography is amazing. All the shots with you in them, are they timer shots or is someone else taking them?? Will soon be getting busy organising my trip to Kenya to join you in early June. How does a day safari sound?? Will keep you posted. Jon:) |
| 4th January 2006 Tristan | bus blues - From: The road to Cook Hi Simon... increasingly, I believe our mothers somehow shared a genome or two: Embarrasingly, and thus previously unmentioned, soon after the last we met (twas at a bus-stop in belize) I too fell victim to a busing blue - instead of going to Chetumal, where my lovely plane awaited, my bus decided to take me back to Belmopan. Subscibing to insane rage (subsequently subsided), I borrowed one of your bookleaves, hitched out to the Belize airport, and found alternative flight home. Lucky! All I can suggest is that (1) there is always a solution, and (2)you have probably inherited the same dysfunctional traveller gene as I. Keep safe, and Happy New Year! (ps I'm in Hong Kong an loving it - recently took up golf!) |
| 2nd January 2006 Brad | News Years in Belize - From: Final week in Belize I really had a great time staying at Birds Eyeview Lodge. The food and the staff was great. Thanks Verna. |
| 1st January 2006 Julia | 2006 already!!!! - From: The road to Cook Happy new year Simon! Stay safe and keep up with the jealousy inducing tales..... Julia x |
| 30th December 2005 Caroline | Very Jealous - From: The road to Cook Happy Christmas Simon. You sound like you are having a super time! I am back to work on Monday, very excitng stuff. Planning my next period of traveling, which won't be for three years!! Gutted. Hope you enjoy the bunjee and the flight. Keep having fun, great reading your funny travel write ups.

| 30th December 2005 Austin | A brief greeting from one groovy boy.....friend - From: The road to Cook I am indeed NOT groovy if grooviness is measured by ones employment status since next week I go back on the dole. Applications for jobs have so far proved futile and M&S no longer require my services. I'm beginning to think I should have sold my left kidney and joined you on your global trek. The only trek I'll be making is the 2 miles to the jobcentre tomorrow since I don't even have a car. Oh, I forgot, this blog is about you. Hey Simon and Merry Christmas! I am journeying up to Leeds tomorrow to Millenium Square to see in the New Year with my homey. Keep Blogging Mate!!! |
| 30th December 2005 Cazd_83 | A brief greeting from one groovy girlfriend! - From: The road to Cook I am indeed groovy! Though I'm a little worried that I bought you a "fying lesson". I feel the kiwis might have pulled some of that well known sheep produce over your eyes there! Hee hee. I'm really sorry the weather was bad though. I'll make sure the whole of the western world crosses their fingers for better weather next time. C'mon guys, altogether now!! Missing you lots - ooh but there was no Vicar of Dibley this year, so at least it's not a total loss! Cxx |
| 23rd December 2005 Steve-O- | - From: Flipper, eat your heart out! Mate it looks like you are having a fantastic time and the Dolphins were clearly loving u aswell. Brought back memories with that previous blog about taupo and the sky dive, glad u enjoyed it. Have a good xmas and new years dude. |
| 22nd December 2005 Simon | no nakedness - From: Flipper, eat your heart out! haha! err no, that's a log. Just want to point that out to any scared people.. |
| 21st December 2005 AMANDA! | gotcha sun bathing? - From: Flipper, eat your heart out! Chico! Is that you laying naked on the beach??? no wait maybe its a log? hmmm wondering. Hey the picture with the hat it makes you look like one of the Conquistadores! more specific -Pedro del Alvarado -the Mayans called him Tonathiu- son of the sun. The new area it all looks Fantastic!! Meanwhile in Canada it continues to be cold and grey. Have a Merry Christmas in the sun! |
| 21st December 2005 Rommany | And I continue to hate you - From: Flipper, eat your heart out! I think my title says it all. Although I have to say I feel a tiny...very tiny...bit sorry for you spending Christmas alone. So MERRY CHRISTMAS! And I hope your trip is as good in 2006 as it has been in 2005. Take care x |
| 21st December 2005 Mum | God, I wish I was there! - From: Flipper, eat your heart out! It's not fair, not only have you been in the water with dolphins, you've seen an albatross! Ever since digesting every line of 'The Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner' for A Level, I've wanted to see one. Have a wonderful Christmas..... |
| 21st December 2005 Elaine | - From: Flipper, eat your heart out! Wow you've been having an amazing time I see! I hope you enjoy your 'Christmas' and carry on taking lots of beautiful photos :-) my desktop has never looked so tropical! El xxx |
| 19th December 2005 Leanne | cant stop smiling... - From: Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Bridge To Nowhere lol. Simon, you look like an American truck driver from a scary movie! but at least it made me smile - thanks. x |
| 15th December 2005 Mayrad | Simon - From: Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Bridge To Nowhere A huge blog about my fun travels, and all everyone does is comment about my hair, or lack thereof. Fair enough though, it's a bit crappy isn't it? But it's growing back I assure you! And in my defence, the sun shining makes it look like I'm bald, haha! Bloody shavers... |
| 15th December 2005 Toni Guy | - From: Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Bridge To Nowhere Without any shadow of doubt the worst haircut I have ever seen,and ive seen you with curtains. |
| 15th December 2005 Heiko | Cuts, bruises, bugs, and mud - From: Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Bridge To Nowhere What a great day it was indeed. I was one of the "Fellowship of the bridge" and was spurred on by your determination and my own curiosity about the bridge. The feeling of accomplishment when standing underneath the bridge was reward for the battering and beating we received (hope your toe is healing alright). Great to have met you on this trip. All the best for your further adventures... Peace. |
| 14th December 2005 Hayley | hehehehe - From: Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Bridge To Nowhere that is quite the haircut buddy...i'm sure its a lot cooler...but maybe next time check the shaver first! |
| 14th December 2005 Mum | Watch out for sandflies! - From: Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Bridge To Nowhere I've heard - from a very reliable source - that sandflies like bald heads; they consider them a delicacy south of the equator. Beware! |
| 14th December 2005 Laura | - From: Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Bridge To Nowhere Lovin the hair....or lack thereof! |
| 10th December 2005 Phill and Cindy | Take the Ferry Ride over and ski - From: The Plains of Gorgoroth...sort of. Simon - Take the ferry over and ski Mt Hut, true "southern skiing" - it was great when I did a few years back. NZ is a blast - Phill |
| 8th December 2005 Rommany | Soaking Simon! - From: The Plains of Gorgoroth...sort of. ha ha ha! You got wet! Feeling much better knowing that you almost drowned. Stuff all this "Oh your pictures are so majestic Simon"...you know your real friends are the ones that gain glee from you near death experiences. I still hate you though. |
| 7th December 2005 Hayley | Hamilton pales in comparison...let me tell you - From: The Plains of Gorgoroth...sort of. Hey Simon, To say the least, your pics are amazing!!! It looks so beautiful and calming and exciting and challenging all at the same time. I'm glad you're having an awesome time, and you're letting us see what the rest of the world looks like outside of dingy Hamilton! You're inspiring my 4th year trip to Europe...now its possibly going beyond there! Keep on going! I love to read and see where you're going and the adventures you're having! lotsa luv, in exam hell right now...only 10 more days till holidays! |
| 7th December 2005 Susan the Canadian | - From: The Plains of Gorgoroth...sort of. Wow. I totally could not have handled camping all by myself in frickin' Mount Doom! But, seriouslty, I'm rather jealous of you. I'm such a LOTR dork that I've decided to live vicariously through you in your journey through middle earth.... SO COOL! |
| 7th December 2005 Leanne | Im glad... - From: The Plains of Gorgoroth...sort of. Im glad your in my life Simon - coming home from a boring day at work to read your exciting stories makes me feel like there is a purpose in life (earn money, save, then piss off too). Thanks Si. x |

| 2nd December 2005 Cazd_83 | A telltale sign of the lonesome traveler... - From: Testing manhood part 2 Hee hee. Loving the pictures of you with your little head peeping in the bottom right hand corner. I challenge you to take a photo of yourself with your right hand. Go on!! Variety is the spice of life... Great pics by the way! Cxxx |
| 2nd December 2005 Rom again | - From: Testing manhood part 2 I have also noticed you're going for just the one look in photos these days...I think it may be your attempt at 'smouldering'. hee hee. BTW I've just rescued your blog from my trash so I'm quite excited and hating you more and more and MORE. Damn people...damn them! |

Also, i really hurt my toe and now the nail has turned color yuck eh? I have been told that it will fall off but i don't believe it. Well keep having fun cause someone has to right? xoxo |

I like your toe picture I am really glad that you are taking care of them with all that walking i was afraid that they were going to turn color. hehe gross. Ah SIMON, sounds like New Zealand is fantastic! big kiss & take care! |
| 25th November 2005 Sarah | - From: Kia Ora from Kiwi-land Simon - not sure how this comment thingy works - but looks like you get to read through them before you post them - so you can reject this one as its not very interesting - but just wanted to say I am so glad you are having a good time - am unbelievably jealous - the glow worms sound incredible (but lets face it not a scratch on leeds - the german market arrived the other day.....ahuh?!.....pret-ty cool....) |
| 25th November 2005 Austin | - From: Kia Ora from Kiwi-land Hey! Where's the photo of the glow-worms. Gee, am I ungrateful or what? Nice one 'Soymon', you seem to be enjoying yourself. When you finally get to India (or was it Nepal) can you pick me up a large bag of cumin seed and green cardamons...I want to make a curry. |
| 25th November 2005 Callum | Manhood - From: Kia Ora from Kiwi-land Mate, I have jumped out of a plane at 12,000 feet but I know for a fact I would quake at the idea of walking for three hours and then take my shoes and socks off and go walking into a dark, flooded cave on my own. You want to watch out on the testing your manhood stuff, it gets you into all sorts of trouble! Keep on trucking! |
| 15th November 2005 Mum | - From: Final week in Belize Wow! What a wonderful place Belize is! bet you are sorry to be leaving but just think what is waiting for you in NZ (I'm thinking of the chocolate!!) Have fun. X |
| 15th November 2005 Cazd_83 | Question from a 'townie' - From: Final week in Belize So I realize that I'm obviously a big-city gal and that this backpacking is far too bohemian chic for me but just what is the toothpaste technique exactly? And by exactly I don't mean gory details... ;o) |
| 15th November 2005 Danielle | you're so british :) - From: Final week in Belize good use of the word "rucksack" (hahahaahahah, sorry i had to) (and btw it's "buenos tardes") don't forget to wash your socks! <3 Danielle |
| 11th November 2005 Callum | Travels are really arduous aren't they! - From: Back at Mac and Big Apples to boot Glad you're having such a tough time doing your arduous travels round North America! Plymouth is like a fine wine getting better with time. As the third year progresses the work is getting more, the social life less and the weather worse (especially when soldiering). Spare a thought for Callum when you have a quiet moment. Word Dog! Callum |
| 9th November 2005 Phill | Hold your nose and dive - From: Stupid white British tourist Simon - what a great review of a small country next to great water - Phill |
| 8th November 2005 Rory | Damn you vile (wo)man! - From: Stupid white British tourist I'm starting to wish I'd never agreed to let you add me to your blog now. I mean how am I supposed to cope while, sitting miserably down to do yet another lab report, I get "One new email from travelblog.com", and find that it's yet more amazing pictures of your travels, while I'm stuck doing work for the next 5 weeks. The only thing keeping me sane right now is the picture of 'La Folie Deuce' which if you remember is the best restaurant in Val, and the thought that in five looooong weeks i'll be stood at the top of that glorious panorama. However for now I'm still amazingly jealous of you. Damn it. Right thats enough procrastination for now, back to the work. D'oh. Rory |
| 8th November 2005 Austin | - From: Stupid white British tourist April seems a long way off but I'm saving my pennies. I also have a handful of buttons and a few lengths of string which, I'm assured, Nepalese people accept as currency. Tra-la-la! |
| 2nd November 2005 Rach | From skiin!! =P - From: Back at Mac and Big Apples to boot Im so jealous i think i may actually spontaneously combust! lol sounds like ur havin an awesome time tho hun, the piccys are well cool too =) missin u in leeds chicken! take an extra photo for me hehe keep explorin n keep bloggin! cya soon =) x x |

I'm only writing this cause I know you'll hate to see it when you read it over... "It's" in paragraph 6 should read "its" I think you'll find. Ner ner! Much love, missing you lots! XxXx |

| 18th October 2005 skelly | you beat me to the off... - From: Ready for anything (except surprises) ah mr wadders. finally off from good old blighty i see. sadly for me all the those last minute things you mention completing are the headaches of my existence at the moment. looks more likely daily that india first stop, with no preperation, will definately throw us in at the deep end and cause various hilarious but deadly consequences. still i look forward to a well earned beer in new zealand with your bed self sometime in december. i'll be in touch when i can through the darkest depths of asia, but if not will be in auckalnd 16th december, disasters dependent. see you soon dude.marc |
