Amazing to read your narratives Hi Pete: My wife and I met you when we were all staying at the Black Sheep Inn in Ecuador 2007. Afterwards I followed your blog and the you suddenly disappeared after posting an entry at a crazy festival in The USA. So pleased that you are still going strong. Your accounts are outstanding! Thanks.
Did you temporarily interrupt your journey to return home? Can't see your old entries anymore. I wonder why.
All the best, Gerald
Awesome blog.... Carne and vino, the best combo!! Pete, thanks for all your amazing updates!!! This one in particular has made me pine for Argentina which I think held some of my best memories for me in South America. Keep on enjoying your travels and can't wait to chew the fat when you get back....perhaps over an argentinean steak...or as close to as we can get here :) x
One train journey I am glad to have missed I usually love train journeys, but your slow train to Mandalay combined two of my greatest fears: heights and spiders. Plus the train moved so slowly across the viaduct as to prolong the agony of teetering above the precipice! Great blog, glad that you are enjoying Myanmar - it is a magical country.
Brilliant read Another informative and amusing read. I nearly gagged at a few points though and am glad I'm not eating my lunch!! The personal spittoon was probably (definately!) the worst! It is one of the things I am not looking foward to when we are back on the road.. excretion of bodily fluids I am not used to seeing here in the UK.. yuck!
Informative and hilarious...... Thoroughly enjoyed your blog. Love those photos and the hilarious captions! I better remember where and how to hang my laundry (underwear) there to conform with traditions!
Very informative and enjoyable Hi, just want to say that your travel blog is very enjoyable to read. I'll be backtracking your journal from this entry, please don't mind me.
Fascinating This made for really intereresting reading, I love it when you learn something from a blog and I sure learnt a lot about this one! The information about the treatment of the mentally ill is incredibly sad, you just can't believe that this kind of thing goes on but sadly it does along with many other things that a Western brain cannot comprehend.
You never said how big your leeches got.. did they turn into the big fat ones we are more familiar with on the films!?
harau valley Looks like an incredible place,can you tell me of an easier way to get there,i would like visit but hopefully there is a better way..
thx you ryan.
It's confirmed You write the best blogs !
Hope you both are keeping well, looks like your still looking for the perfect curry! Again another set of great photos and the write up is seriously second to none, even if you can't find the perfect curry, i think that you bring many smiles and and quite a few laughs to me at work,and the others who read your blog. The ginger beard definitely never suited you, get freakin itchy don't they! Keep safe and enjoy your travels Pete.

And Papaya Juice ;) Lovely blog about the beauties and difficulties of Sumatra..had to laugh at the geckos in the coffee, I found them in the remnants of my juice - guess in Sumatra you leave your drink out for the geckos. Glad to see you are enjoying Sumatra.
I so much enjoy your writing and sense of humour. I'm a fan of your blog since 2007 and certainly will never unsubscribe. Thank you so much for sharing!
berstagi ive got some of the same pictures from gunung sibayak in my travelblog. Its nice to know folks are still making their way to sumatera. I was through 2 years ago and would teleport to pulau weh right now if i could. Have a great trip and drink/eat a cendol for me!
well done ;-) Thanks! I enjoyed reading your blog. It was very informative. Although the criticism seems to outweigh the positive elements, I appreciate your dark humor. We traveled a lot in middle America and I was reminded of our experiences there.
Take care and keep up the good writing

Wowzas!! Hey Pete, thanks so much for sharing the beginning of your latest greatest adventures! You have a real gift for transporting a person to the place you are describing, enabling me at the very least to live a little vicariously through you :) Safe travels and I look forward to the next exciting update! Take care, Annelise x
