thanks I just stumbled on to this website quiet accidently.Thank you for being quite optimistic about Sri lanka .beinga sri lankan I can only say that You are always welcome in Sri Lanka!!!!
excellent Thanks for a wonderful view into a world that has always been mysterious to me. Great photos! Inciteful writing; just enough travel facts mixed with your impressions to be very compelling. That's one important aspect of travel that many blogs miss. One only needs to read so much of how drunk someone got... thanks for the clinic on how it's done right!
Tallin KGB headquarters Did you note that the KGB headquarters is now the Russian Embassy? I had a delightful visit in January, 2003, in a vain attempt to get my son a visa to come visit me in St. Petersberg, where I was working for a year. It's a better Museum of Occupation than the official one, as it is equiped with actual Soviet bureaucrats. Their main task is to torment Estonians trying to get into or out of Russia, but they will gladly display their formidable talents to other capitalists. Reason for denying visa: my son had already been to St. Petersberg, and there really isn't that much to see there. A must-see attraction, so don't delay--those Soviets aren't getting any younger.
P.S. Tallin cold in the summer? Perhaps, but you miss the icicle-breaking ceremonies which are very cool in January.
please, thank you Your pictures make me sick! they are so good, they make me feel foolish for even attempting to capture the things I see. Every post is stunning, you must sxpend a lot of time on a laptop organizing and choosing the pics to post. Whatever method to your madness, nice work. One more thing- Dont ever go back to Chile. That way when I move there my pictures wont look so amateur-ish!! :) KEEP TRAVELLING AND KEEP POSTING!!!
I love your photos I had muesli and yoghurt at aussie lady's cafe.
(my staple boarding school food I havent had for years)
And tiger leaping gorge took a while to grow into. But it all worth it.

eased cravings Hi! what a great blog! I just came back from India yesterday and reading your blog is helping to ease my cravings of returning. I shall peruse your other blogs to give me inspirations for future travels!
Truely Inspiring! Thank you so much for the incredible feast for the eyes! Your photos are breathtaking. Im on my way to India in Oct. for the first time, and reading your blogs and enjoying your pics is really fanning my travel fire! Keep em coming!
Looks great Hey guys India never looked so good. Awe inspiring photos as always, you really should become a professional travel photographer. Any chance you might sell your work one day? Keep the blogs coming.
Reliving a previous trip through your stories and photos Hi. I travelled through Northern India three years ago. It is great to relive my experiences through your great photography and stories. At the moment I'm back in India, travelling through the South. It was fun to see that you had the same boatman for your trip to the Keralan backwaters as we had! Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Girls?? I guess I was trying to be polite ... see "City Of Djinns" by William Dalrymple for a sensitive account of the lives of some of India's estimated 750,000 eunuchs.
Where are the cricket pics ??? They wouldn't let us bring cameras into the ground, for fear we would angrily toss them at Rahul Dravid in an attempt to get the run rate moving (great batsman, India would have been lost in the tests without him). Apparently when Pakistan visits they have to watch for this sort of thing.
Oi, Nutter ..... yes you! I'm gobsmacked that you went right into the heart of a favella in Rio to get a few photos. What's wrong with the usual tourist snaps of Sugarloaf mountain and the Copacabana? I always thought you were bonkers. Now I know for sure. Still, it seems you got out alive and with an amazing set of photos to boot. Did Kim accompany you?
By the way, do you want your mountain bike back as we're off to Sarawak in September.
Sri Lanka Great Photos.
I visited 2 weeks prior to the Tsunami and went back last December. It's important that people visit - otherwise the poor just get poorer. The Sri Lankans are some of the friendliest, kindest people I've ever met.

Highest "Navigable" Lake I think they just want to claim Lake Titicaca as the highest something in the world. I know Lake Tilicho in the Annapurna region of Nepal is higher (between 5,000m and 5,200m depending on the map you look at), so I guess the fact that Lake Titicaca is used and navigated constantly by people as part of their daily lives gives it the title of highest "Navigable" Lake.
Who knows though!!!
Departing shortly from the desk next to that vacated by Sken Like A Ribble Fluke, another couple of Brits, Kim and Richard, attempt to find spiritual meaning and purpose beyond the twin pillars of Dilbert and the next interest rate rise.... full info
