| 30th August 2007 Clancy | Green with Envy - From: Monks, Mules and Monkeys Munching Momos in the Mountains Hi Sion and Nikki I am absolutely bewildered how someone would be able to afford something like this. It is so inspiring to see you two trekking the globe with not a worry at such a young age. This is the sort of thing I could never imagine doing, the massive scale of a trip so large is overwhelming. I give you both kudos and the best of luck for a safe and happy journey. As for caches on my putey - sorry its been formatted one too many times to recover any of your blogs. Hopefully if I make it down to Syd if you guys ever return home I will be able to catch up with you. P.S. Lovin the buddah beard Sion, u remind me of ur dad :-). |
| 8th July 2007 spanna | oh dear...... - From: Calling all passengers for Flight BA 256 to Heathrow Hellllloooooo!! I did laugh, and I am still laughing..... trust something like that to happen...... Well I hope it has all worked out for you and that you made it on another flight!! P.s. Niki, wishing you a very late, but very happy birthday....xx |
| 15th June 2007 Ben | You bloody morons - From: Calling all passengers for Flight BA 256 to Heathrow Nice. Real nice. Although by the time I'm writing this you are already in merry ol' England. (I hope) I'm looking forward to your take on some Western countries now. Should be fun. |
| 3rd June 2007 anonymous | To err is human - From: Calling all passengers for Flight BA 256 to Heathrow Remember the man and woman who can't make a mistake, can't make anything. When I read the blog, I felt the horrible realisation. When you have been in England a week or two you will be wishing you had missed the next flight too. Only joking! |
| 3rd June 2007 Ouaga | I feel your pain - From: Calling all passengers for Flight BA 256 to Heathrow Go eat lots of cakes at Ajay's and try not to kill each other in the Delhi heat kids. |
| 3rd June 2007 Ouaga | Any Indian Thomas Griffiths about? - From: Monks, Mules and Monkeys Munching Momos in the Mountains Ah, Mcleodganj. Where I had my passport and money and camera stolen by some thieving bastard, but where I had many an enjoyable coffee and beer. Very jealous of the trek, if you see someone with an Australian passport in my name go get 'em for me! |
| 19th May 2007 lia | land of the head shakers - From: "Very beautiful...very Punjabi" hi guys, i'm just rocking out in melbourne, things are good, wet and the furniture is developing an icy glaze all over. anway, i'm glad you guys are having a good time, you both should be working for lonely planet or some shit. (sorry, that is short for some amazing travel mag/website) i've picked up a bit of melbourne style and now i drink short black euro style. love you both so much, i didnt know girls could wear turbans, how about a sari? i would like some sari action niki (and sean too if your inclined, although i wouldnt necesarily be going out to temples in a sari, sean if i was you) but it might be the begining of an interesting new blog. much love and pancakes lia (ethnomusicologist) |
| 17th May 2007 Ouaga | Chotiwalas - From: "All bus go to Chilla, No bus go to Chilla" Hey guys, i think that same guy was sitting out the front of Chotiwalas back in 1998. Don't eat too much there or you turn into him... |
| 17th May 2007 Dad/Kev | Uncle Raghbir - From: "Very beautiful...very Punjabi" Did you see Uncle Raghbir at the Golden Temple. He was the giani (priest) at Belvedere Sikh Temple and left after he attacked members of the opposing faction to the ISYF with a large sword. He went back to Punjab. He had a soft spot for you Sion. |
| 17th May 2007 Dad/Kev | No shoes - From: "Very beautiful...very Punjabi" I complained because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet. |
| 30th April 2007 jennifer | Love - From: Pete, this Taj ain't Banal. The photos are fabulous all the intricate details of this homage to love. The Tibetan area hopefully offered you both a respite from all the rush and crowds. But dear travellers time to move on to the next wonder. Miss you both. Niki I always enlarge the photos just to get another glimpse at your wonderful person. Love mum |
| 29th April 2007 Ben | Cool - From: Pete, this Taj ain't Banal. cool |
| 28th April 2007 Tom | Third comment - From: Pete, this Taj ain't Banal. Didn't realise I sent two comments on that post. I will try to make it a hat trick with this one! |
| 27th April 2007 Tom | Sexy - From: Pete, this Taj ain't Banal. When I went to Rishikesh the Maharishi's ashram was out of bounds. Hope you guys can get in and tell him he is a sexwhore |
| 25th April 2007 Tom | Tibetan village - From: Pete, this Taj ain't Banal. I've never heard of a Tibetan village in Delhi! Sounds a lot nicer than Paharganj...glad you guys enjoyed the Taj, keep up the good work. Miss you little bro! |
| 25th April 2007 Dad/Kev | Burning Post Office - From: Pete, this Taj ain't Banal. What an excellent blog. 'I remember the post office burning down as though it were yesterday', 'It was yesterday you silly old fool' I remember the hassle at Agra Station being very full on and Angela sold her camera at the back of the Taj for more than she paid for it. Love ya Dadxxx |
| 20th April 2007 Ouaga | Tom Tom - From: No Me Moleste Mosquito Hey guys, I like that you mentioned garlic. In Arabic, 'tom' means garlic, so every time I say my name to an egyptian we all have a hearty chuckle at this coincidence. And it never stops being funny, even after 250 times. |
| 20th April 2007 Ben | I'm in Melbourne - From: No Me Moleste Mosquito That's right, you two aren't the only ones who can go travelling. I've only been here half a day and already I've spent about $500... hehe. Meant to tell you Sion, I've been very much enjoying "The English Army" by the Living End. Great song. Funny how I seem to be the first to comment on your blog entries... could it be possible that I spent entirely too much time on the net?............................................... Nah. Well, keep on keeping on, y'all. I'm just gonna laze around the Melb CBD and check out all the damn pretty girls who are about ten thousand times out of my league. Oh, and I'm not moving to Sydney anymore, Tom moved back to Darwin. We're moving in together there. Have fun. :) |
| 20th April 2007 Dad/Kevin | Blue, blue, electric blue, that's the colour of my room - From: No Me Moleste Mosquito I see you are dressing to fit with the decor in Jodhpur. God, I long to be in India when I read your blog. Keep on enjoying. By the way a sattvic (yoga) diet excludes onions and garlic because of the extreme effect they have on the system rather than out of regard for the 'lives' of the onions. |
| 17th April 2007 Jenny and Alex | wooo - From: Yellow, Yellow, Dirty Fellow. White, White, Orbit White. It not rhyme but is true. ahh :D miss u guys!!! i wish i could send you tv.....and maybe some cheese....mmm cheese, im at work so u can imagine how jealous iam of u bastards....well miss u long time, lots of love and hugs ( and maybe if i like you a nice fat sesh) jenny and alex |
| 16th April 2007 spanna | mmm toothpaste - From: Yellow, Yellow, Dirty Fellow. White, White, Orbit White. It not rhyme but is true. Sounds like you guys are still having lots of fun adventures ...... and I'm still jealous ;o) the highlight of my week was a 30th bday bash where we had to come as our favourite character..... andy dressed up as a ninja turtle it was extreme....... just imagine face paint, a 6 yr olds costume (shell and all) with some green lycra and a cricket box as a substitute for the bottom half of the costume to avoid a massive camel toe..... i haven't laughed that hard in a while;o) was that toothpaste add on tele? thats hilarious.... that photo of the path looks amazing.........you guys must be getting sooooooo fit doing all that walking- insane! 1 week left of holidays.... so sad :( rad times. love span. xxxx |
| 15th April 2007 jennifer | view from the window - From: Yellow, Yellow, Dirty Fellow. White, White, Orbit White. It not rhyme but is true. Niki and Sion the view from the window here is a mass of dark grey clouds lit from below by the setting sun. Although I often exprience rain now as a gift I am struck looking at your photos of the energy that light creates. I wonder who the sun dial was for and whether it actually fulfilled what was obviusly an intense desire to track light. We have celebrated Jan's birthday today and felt that the rain was an extra gift. Your storm in the desert creates images of water rushing down red sand and pooling to create a brief oasis. Please keep the images coming. We saw Sony yesterday and she told us how jealous she was of you both and was sure that the missing of us all was eased considerably by the excitement of the trip. Niki I am emailing you on your hotmail so please check that to. Missing you heaps, make sure there are photos of you two so that I can track the increasing ease and relaxation evident as you progress through this holiday. |
| 13th April 2007 Ouaga | Dirty fellow - From: Yellow, Yellow, Dirty Fellow. White, White, Orbit White. It not rhyme but is true. I think Sion might be the dirty fellow after walking around the Jaipur slums in 42 degrees... |

| 6th April 2007 spanna | wow..... - From: Shaken...not stirred. hello!!!!!!! glad to see you are both looking well! I am so jealous that you are a whole world away (looks like much more fun than teaching the little lazy shits on the central coast!hehe), but I'm definately don't envy you having to use that charming bathroom from the last entry...mmmmmmmm yum. ;) The photos are amazing, and I wish I had of seen that dancing...

I'm moving to Sydney! |
