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....
Happy happy! Lucky you Kevin with the weather and the food; I've just spent 3 days in the Lake District rugged up against the cold and the rain. The different ale tastings were fun as well as trying 3 or 4 different whiskys. Keep the blog going it's great fun to read where you are and how you're enjoying everything!
Morocco Great travelogue. Seems like a fascinating place despite the pitfalls and hassles - but then my brown skin wouldn't stand out as much! Definitely on my list.
Maraksh Oh Kev, what a wonderful likestyle you're experiencing, make the most of it buddy..you're living "the dream" each day I see Caroline and I'm sure she's wishing she was with you, enjoy... :) and thank you for sharing your adventures with me and trev
Love the photos, especially the food Hey Kevin,
Looks like you are having a great time, catching up with old friends and making new ones. I especially loved the Tapas photo (yum), though all the shots with Buddy were adorable, too. Are the wine windows bowed, or is that an optical illusion from the camera? You look none the worse for 1:30 AM wear. Hope to see you in Russell before the end of the year. Mecca
Hi This part of Spain quite different. Hey, change your camera, the photos are too dark. We're all missing you as I'm sure your chickens are too. C. told you Rob fixed your new coup and the hen and her eggs are in it. We are waiting for babies any day. We all had snitzel at C's night after last which was yummy. I have a tummy flu, still happening today but who cares? Its windy as buggery outside and I'm staying in, anyway. This wind really gets up my nose (literally: really gets my sinus and hayfever). My teenager chickens are coming along with 3-4 eggs per day (8 hens). Well that's about it. Enjoy Nance.
kiaora Kiaora kevin.
Good to hear you haven't run out of steam yet. It's been quite a while now!!
Spring has sprung downunder. Tomorrow's the equinox, and it's all good from there on. We look forward to Summer breakfasts with you in a couple of months.
Ciao Ro and Terry x
Ole! What fun you're all having and all in beautiful sunshine, you lucky people! It's great to read about the experiences and as there's little sun in Yorkshire I'm enjoying the bright, colourful photos. Where next? Much love, Heather
Barcelona Kevin, your time in Barcelona brought back many memories of my time there in the early nineties. On one occasion my bodyguard/media advisor was robbed in Las Ramblas around 2.00am but I caught the thief after a lengthy pursuit - used to be fit! Best restaurant I found was Los Caracoles in the Ramblas. Regards, Bill.
