Sorry you didn't like it.
I think maybe you misunderstood the crux of my story. I was very flattering of Iran, surely one of the more fascinating nations on the planet. If you read the other comments, pretty much everybody thought I presented Iran in a very positive light. As for the animal photos, they tie in with one of the stories I wrote on Tasua. By the way, I love your country which is an example of how a primarily Islamic country can function effectively through tolerance. I did a blog on Istanbul a few blogs prior to the one on Iran.

very nice one
Hi to erverbody! We have been to Hikkaduva in Feb. 2012, we stayed at the "moon beam", nice one but I think too expensive! But it was close to the beach and the very best extremly closed to "Ranjiths", I even don't now if you knew the 3 brothers and the location?! Extraordinary Hollidays for 4 Weeks, we rent a bike for the hole time, the countryside is unbeleavabel!! We also have been to India , Rajastan, Goa, Kerala, but I think up to now it's too crowded!! My Girl and me prefare SriLanka! You have to excuse my englisch, it's indeed not perfekt! best Regards from Colon/ Germany

Your English is fine
Seeimg as I don't speak German. As for Ranjiths, he's been there since I first went to Hikkaduwa in 1980. It's a great place.

Wow!
What a ride, you two! Appreciate you allowing us to share your experiences along the way. Amazing trip and though we may not be near as adventurous, we do want to hit many of the places you visited. Thanks for the updates and God bless you both down under!

Thanks for that
Right now it's payback time. Trying to move back into the house which isn't in as great a state as we left it, putting it mildly. Still, nice place to come home to. I trust we will be crossing paths again somewhere sometime. I'm already looking forward to it.

I shall miss the little witticisms and charming insights
Also, I quite like the two lions clutching a shield on my passport, they make minced meat of emu's and kangaroos ;) Although, the particular ones on mine probably not, as they have faded away to nothingness, can't even read which country I am from anymore. To ensure an extra life, be good but not too good, or else you will go to nirvana. Don't be too nasty either or you will revert to animal form in your next life. It is a delicate balance.

Very witty.
We cant even claim that emus and kangaroos are smarter than your average lion. With heads that small and bums that large in comparison, you just know they have to be stupid.

Is this the end of your travels!?
I certainly hope it isn't, and that you are planning other journeys in the future! So many people I've met ask me about the much sought after Australian work visa so I always explain two things. First, it is extremely difficult to obtain, and no, I am unable to help them since I have no idea when I will return to Australia. Second, though Australians earn a lot of money, the expenses are very high - so all I do is the covert the cost of items such as groceries, restaurants, public transport and rent into local currency and their mouths almost always drop open. I too consider myself extremely fortunate to have a kangaroo and emu on my passport; it has enabled me so many opportunities to chip away at the paint on this planet.

Not in the short term
No travel plans just yet but this is definitely not the end of the road. I'll have to do some travelling vicariously through travelblog for the short at least. I'll be keeping my eyes on the site. Safe travels.

Home and Away
Bob and Linda
Somehow I missed this last blog...
as I have been following your entire journey which has been fantastic. You can always do China once you get your new passports...not that far from Oz. Anyway, it's been a great ride. I look forward to your next adventure.
