Back to Botswana Barbara, Once again such an interesting read, and again I almost felt I was with you. Have just read your blog while I am here in Cornwall, down at Falmouth docks with rain teeming down and the wind battering the windows, but who cares. i am on holiday so it is all wonderful. We have just returned from a day at the Eden Project, somewhere I have long wanted to go. Even though the weather was pretty 'ordinary' the day was wonderful.
HOPEFULLY SEE YOU AT BOOKCLUB
CHEERS

reunion It was great to see you all again. We were very wistful as we looked at all the photos. Michael and Joel have become handsome- and no doubt well-educated young men. We sort of miss the young boys we loved in Shashe but are excited to see what the Lord will do in their lives and through them to others. You all look well and I'm sure enjoyed the trip to Botswana. The pictures were very good.
Hi from Bookclub Hi Barbara
As always great to see what you have been up to. Thanks for including me.
We are all well at Bookclub and enjoying a few good reads. We recently completed Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey. You may remember the last book of his - Rhubarb. This was much better.
Keep me posted.
Love to all Deborah
Note Just to make sure you know: the statue in front of the main train station in Zagreb is a statue of the first Croatian king Tomislav. :)
Wonderful post and photos!
Greetings from Croatia :)
Building up frequent flyer points! Great blog on Singas with very special photos. Loved the one of you and Michael in the pool! Looking forward to seeing Michael and Joel soon in Joburg!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reply Hi there Greg
I went trekking in April just before the monsoon period. I'm just a bit tardy at getting my blogs up! During the monsoon the rain buckets down so I don't think it would be very pleasant either. The area is fantastic to visit and I'm sure each season has its own wonders!
Wonderful experience with the boys Yes I am counting down the days (4 weeks to go) for our family Safari and travels in South Africa. I pray the experience we will share with our children on this holiday will be a blessing just like you have experienced with yours. Although our children are a blessing all the time!!
Birthday girl next week - will catch up with you then.

Joel Meadows - HBK to the max! Hey Mrs Meadows (or is it Barbara?) great to see another blog, i loved it. Nepal sounds so amazing! Hopefully i can include it in my travels next year as well. The first paragraph was brilliant - you belong in an Indiana Jones movie!
Anapurna trek Once again I enjoyed reading your blog Barbara Mary. It brought back happy memories of my trekking so many years ago; nothing seems very changed although the villages appear more prosperous and it seems much more set up for trekkers. Your quotes about children brought tears to my eyes as I have just farewelled one of mine yet again and this time don't know when I will see her again. How we must treasure our children but never restrict them. Del
Climbing near the roof of the world! Great text and lovely photos! Again a fascinating story of your adventures! Especially loved the photo of the boats on the lake.
Great blog Mum! Loved reliving our 2 weeks together in Nepal and remembering all those great times we had together! Thought you summed up the trek really well adding lots of interesting stories and facts, while still keeping it short and sweet! Looking forward to travelling together again in two weeks when you visit Singapore! :)
Good Read Hey Barbara - I really enjoyed reading your blog. I intended to do Annapurna a few years back, but couldn't get out of Kathmandu owing to the riots. I'm putting it back on the list now! Your blog also made me want to travel with my mum! Thanks, Ellen
Great memories! Hi Barb, just looked at this Europe blog and loved all the info and photos that you've put in it. You've given me some excellent ideas for places to visit and see for our trip to Paris in Sept! Thanks!
Great blog, Barb Wow, Barbara, very interesting blog! Really enjoyed the commentary as well as your choice of photos and I'm amazed at your incredible sense of adventure! Fantastic!
Yo Globe Trekker So interesting reading about your travels Barbara, I am so envious but at the same time absolutely thrilled that you have had such an amazing opportunity, and more importantly, that your boys enjoy the company of their mother on their travels. You are so blessed to be their friend as well as mother. Keep us posted with further travel news. Lots love as always, Paul and Nicky
Very interesting! Dear Barb,
This was most interesting! What adventures! We're heading
to Namibia in about 30 days but our adventures will most likely
be less adventuresome! What do the boys plan to do once these trips are over? Love, Joan
My two sons are regular bloggers as they have been travelling all over Europe and South East Asia. I am doing a bit of travelling this year myself so thought I would get in on the act as well! It's a great way to keep a record of people, places, photos and life experiences.... full info
