Interesting Thanks for the post. We're heading to Laos tomorrow and it sounds like the 4 thousand islands are definitely worth a visit. I guess they may have changed a bit by now though. We'll see.
Very interesting! I've been to Goa last year as my fiance is Goan and it was beautiful! We are planning to go there for Christmas this year and I was searching online for some info even though he told me so much already. Very well written, happy you've had a good time! Thank you.
Re: Dentist! Thanks for your comments David & glad you enjoyed the entry. In retrospect, it was a great experience tho' I probably didn't think so at the time! Thanks too for the suggestion, will try and check it out sometime. LB
Flea City! Thanks for your comments Zac. Unfortunately, at the budget end of the scale, such experiences are all too common in India . It's a wonderful country but at times, it can test the good humour of a saint. Flea City it is then! LB
Ha! Funny.. I stayed at the Elite Hotel a couple weeks ago and woke up with well over 50 bites too! Then I came back to Panaji last night and got bites AGAIN at a different hotel!!! I hereby dub this 'Flea City'.

Eehw Bed bugs !! You two sure know how to have fun ! !
I'm envious of the parakeets, the ruins and Divali but I'm not sure about the"Elite" hotel !
Lovely to hear from you
xxxxx
Sounds Lovely Hi Guys,
Good to hear from you ! India sound a fasinating mix of wonder and terror, with a healthy dose of smelly thrown in. Life in Cornwall continues much the same as ever, starting to gear up for Christmas.
Will write again soon
Love
Shelley & Mark
Hello! Hello my little Darlings, Glad to hear you are both OK and still living the dream, Have been away myself for a few weeks so I am just catching up on your exploits. Hope to see you in the not too distant future all the best Ken and Pauline
um well you sure covered your w. a. visit pretty thoroughly, your observations spot on. - (especially about me being full of YOUTHFUL ENERGY ha! HA! TRYING to think when I last saw a Pobblebonk ...... how is your back Viv? Hope it's on the mend. Helena is going bananas because she wants to watch Noddy on the computer - while she's here I'll get her to say a few words: HELENA; hELLO! oink oink Bye bye

Yuk, Worms? Have just read your Penang epistle. Sounds like you are having a great time, in spite of illness and worms (yuk!). It was great to read of your exploits while, back here in the UK, it is chilly and threatening to rain (again). Since we last saw you we have had a fantastic trip to Mauritania and Mali, reaching our hoped for destination - Timbuktu - and going to the Festival au Desert - lots of elaborately dressed camels and dashing men - like something out of Lawrence of Arabia. Lots more stories to tell of our trip but that can wait till we see you and catch up with each other. Hope you are both well now. Love from Trisha and Neil xx
Lucky things! Hello darlings - would so loved to have been with you in Sumatra! Sounds like Lake Toba hasn't changed. Keep on having glorious times to keep us jealous as we plod through our work!
Don Det Here I Come! Laurie & Viv,
Your description of Don Det has given me pre-travel goose bumps. I'm in Canada, counting down 3 weeks until I board the jetplane for SE Asia and I've fallen for Laos already. Thanks for the pulsing narrative.
Happy travels, Brad
China Visit Good to see you're having a good time in China. I suspect that this will be the first of a few journal entries for China. Looking forward to reading the next few.

Introducing... Nomads.
When people ask me why we travel, my usual response is to say - "Because, when I'm travelling, I really know that I'm alive". My wife is more likely to say that it's because she hates cooking and can eat out every day but the simple fact is... we love to travel. The experience is usually so intense that every detail becomes indelibly etched in our memories. I might not be able to remember what I did on any given day at work last year but I can still clearly remember the events of our first trip to India in 1994 - almost as if it only happened 6 months ago.
