Too funny! You are definitely funny! Poor kid. I bet that was really rough going through all that sh*t. Your husband is a saint. Just remember, he put up with everything you put up with AND he put up with you! Egypt never did become a great country again. huh?
Fantastic Blog! While reading about my favorite country (Thailand) I began reading about India and caught your blog. I was very well written and I could find no spelling errors - how strange is that anyway? But I enjoyed reading about your adventures and was envious that you traveled for 3 1/2 months. Anyway, I saw that you missed going to Thailand and I heartily recommend you get there on your next trip - unless you have already been there. It was truly amazing. I also have visited some of the places you went to and the pix were great fun to look at. Take it from a blog reader - yours was the bomb!
Thank you! I am planning to make the trip in Spring 2007. I want to do the big climb, though, so have started training for it. Thank you so much for your wonderful journal!!! (Guess you must have finally uploaded those pix, eh?) I am really looking forward to following your trail. Namaste.
Taxis and Delhi I am surprised you did not go to the Jama Masjid, Jantar Mantar and India Gate. Delhi is probably the most historical city in India.
On Taxis, even locals get cheated - in ANY city. In my experience, pre-paid is the way to go.
Taxi tip The only way to take a taxi in India is this - take the first one you see. Don't haggle. Don't ask the price. Just follow him to his taxi. When in the taxi, tell him your destination. When you arrive, let him and the doorman empty your bags. Then ask the doorman how much you should pay the taxi from 'such-and-such' a place. Adding a good tip for the doorman, give HIM the money, saying, 'Can you pay the taxi for me?' By then you and your bags are in the hotel... The taxi is paid. No one is cheated. And you have a lifelong friend in the doorman.
Catching the bug... Golly - between the two of you and the totally delicious Tom Williams, I am COMPLETELY sold on going around the world next year, or at least going to somewhere far away aside from Singapore! I love the reports... sad that I'll miss you when I'm in Sydney in 2 weeks tho! Be safe, love you lots!
HAVEN'T WE BEEN HAVING A GREAT HOLIDAY!! I lost you guys for a while, could not open the travelog, but I have finally gotten on again, and have been running to catch up.
I feel like I am on this holiday, you guys are SO desciptive. The Greek islands had me disassociating for quite some time. Thankfully I was at home. I love the descriptions and the it is all hilarious!!
Enjoy the rest of your trip and thanks for taking me along. It has certainly worked for MY budget.

It is sometimes also difficult for us to live with those jerks!Please just ignore him and the ones like him that you will probably meet during your journey and just enjoy my beautiful Istanbul!
Wow! I am drooling - it's beautiful - so nice to see something that is so different from what we see everyday. And I loved the Ephesus photo's too!
Glad I am not a coke drinker - but I'm sure water is nearly as expensive!

Glad you had a great time here! Hello guys! It's me, the girl from the telmotango hostel, I love your blog, it's interesting plus funny at the same time, a quite difficult charasteristic to achieve in travel blogs...heh!
I also loved your pics, they look way better than most of the pictures in BA postcards...!!
Well, I'll keep reading about your trip to Peru...good luck! - Marilina
Smiling now! I may be sitting in a 2 bedroom unit in Carlton (saying that suburb is so great for honing the Aussie accent!) but you just transported me to travellers' heaven! Even without photos. Thank you. I am still beaming. Dave, keep that arm moving. We don't want any clotting! Love to you both. - Tracy Barrell
the guinea pig... I'd just like to say, that while i am thoroughly enjoying your adventure updates (Catherine, Dave is so witty!) i am NOT impressed by the picture and report on Dave eating guinea pig. They are too cute and furry to be digested...
But i look forward to the next update :) - Katrina
