Yeti
Amazing photos dad. The Sherpas seem to be very doting. I thought yetis were a myth?! Could you see the eyes and mouth on the yeti skull or just the scalp area? Doz

trip
enjoying the blog, have fun :-)

Great heights !
Hi Mike I feel dizzy just thinking of walking so high. At least you haven't had to walk up from sea level. It sounds fascinating and what wonderful views. My friend's daughter did a similar trip a couple of years ago. Hope it all goes well and your new jackets are keeping you warm. I wonder what the overnight temperatures are? Will you be camping at all on the trip? Have a great time Sue

Interesting blogs
Hi Mike As usual your travel blogs are full of information about the places you visit and make very interesting reading. I'll look forward to reading more as your travels progress. Are you going to Poona by any chance? My father was in hospital there during the war and my sister visited a long time ago when on a Guiding Jamboree in India. Hope the rest of your trip to Inida goes well. I've had a week in Greece, back to work for a week, and returned from a lovely week in Devon with the family today. Best wishes Sue

Cycle ride
Glad you are keeping that fitness up whilst you are away Mike!!!

Hi from Dudley
A good blog, keep it coming. We shall be following your progress. Have fun

Thanks, I enjoyed reading this and seeing the photos, altho' I thought your blog ended rather abruptly....was looking for a final entry where you said farewell and shared your overall impressions of the trip. Gives me some ideas for my next visit. I lived in Ghana for four years as an expat youngster and visited briefly in the late 80's and early 90's.

Good pictures
Hi Mike Sorry not been in touch - just come back from Greece. My holiday, although very enjoyable, seems tame in comparison with your travels. Received your card - thanks. I find reading your blogs very interesting - I think I've said it before but you'd make a good travel writer! Hope the rest of your trip goes well. I presume you're coming home within the next couple of weeks. Sue

thx
thank you for posting this. I am going to fly off to ghana tomorrow and very much enjoyed reaading your experiences so far, since they are very much up to date - especially thank you for describing the times, because I also would like to do a day trip to Elmina. hope to read from you again soon!

Shoes
Probably all those shoes that made your bags take ages to come through! Have a great time Mike - see you in September - don't forget to bring some more uplifiting music back with you!

I think last time we were in touch you hadn't decided whether or not to go. Look forward to reading your blogs. Don't think mine from mainland Greece and The Lakes will be quite as exciting as yours ! Sue

Hi Dad
That was a last nice blog to read, and I like the story about the trinket seller lady. Its such a hard life and unpredictable income doing jobs like that. She was probably really happy that you bought that necklace, even if you didn't really want it. It seems most people here have those kinds of jobs, and walking around all day trying to sell food and household goods etc. Definitely makes me appreciate life at home and how easy we actually have it! Coming home will feel like absolute luxury. See you soon!xx

Suggestions for Pokhara?
Your descriptions and pictures are wonderful. Weather permitting, I'm hoping to be in Pokhara for 5 days in mid-September. Any ideas/ recommendations of things to do?
