Wow - mixed feelings about India It does certainly look squalid and filthy - but they look happy living that way, a very descriptive entry - I could almost "smell it", looks like you're having a beauty time though, do you think it would have been the same if you'd paid FIRST class? or you think the roaches would have been polished before you boarded the train? ha ha
See Caroline at times going to the ferry or walking with her freinds - she's looks fabulous! See you when you get back, and please don't bring any bed bugs home with you okay? hee hee Bev
Come in number three your time is up! I'm also not sure about that Dalwini dancing "girl?" A rug; have you smelt those camels? Hey, it's fantastic to see the sights through your travellers eye but I think it's time to come home. Looking forward to hearing many a tale.
what a wonderful trip Very Interesting Kev, it is good to see Malcolm with you, I spent a few days on a houseboat exploring the Lake Dal in Srinagar in 1973.
I can see not much has changed.
Intrepid traveller Once again many thanks for a fun, entertaining blog; you've made me laugh, kept me amazed, and marveled at the photos! Wonderful memories for you - stay safe and I look forward to seeing back in Russell.
5 Stars only for ME! After the rat, I'd be on the first plane home. Those carpets should make you appreciate the one in the front hall!. You guys look like 3 rogues. Sounds like an interesting time! Love, C
Robin Irwin Robin is a guy I worked with and knew well many years ago in Suva and I met up with him again in Savusavu about 5-6 years ago. I would like to contact him again - by email or phone so if you have either of these numbers i would be very grateful.
Lovely story you tell and it brings back many happy memories.
Kind regards,
Mel Eden
Nice one Kevin.. glad you made to my Ma and Pa's hometown ba'ta-at!!! I am envious of your travels and wish i could go again -maybe sometime when i've got some money.. Not sure whether to be impressed or otherwise with your exploits in Marrekesh!! baahaa 20dirhams... I must swap my horrendous Bangkok experience with you when you get back to Russell.. good luck with the rest of your trip!!
Hi from NZ Hi Kevin, it was great seeing you in York, only a pity that is was for such a short time. As per the title I am safely back at Okiato and yesterday was sunbathing weather .... yeah! Today it's cloud and rain and warm woolies .... nah! Take care in India and beware the masage gurus!
Lautrec chateau Thanks for that. I didn't realize that chateau was so far north, and west. It's amazing to think of distances travelled in those days by carriage. Too bad you couldn't go in. That would have been a treat for me....
