Travelling Fraggles&#39; Guestbook

We weren't lucky enough to stay right there...
Denise told us how you guys stayed right there. It must have been magical. Particularly over Christmas which would have added another religion into the mix. We're off to southern Africa in a couple of weeks and hope to emulate some of your experiences there too!

60 Countries and many more
I think it is great you let it unfold and happen naturally without planning. 100 probably needs some planning but I'm not sure the others do. Full of history and beautiful architecture. Glad you are enjoying the food.

Yuk to vile
Ok, that is descriptive. I'd go to McDonald's in that case also. Always good to see Buddha's and Temples!

Happy New Year
Glad you are getting caught up on your blogging. This is a city I long to see. I always thought the fireworks would be grand to see. I can't imagine how many people were in attendance.

And to you!
Yes we're almost now caught up with the blogging, If we hadn't nipped up for a quick trip in Indonesia for a week a couple of weeks ago then we would almost be caught up.... Only 3 weeks though until Africa. We're woefully unplanned and have some key bookings to make so that currently has to be the focus, but one day we'll be on top of it all!

Sick while traveling
There is nothing worse than getting sick on the road. The two of you are master negotiators... always getting the best deal.

An island of healers, witchcraft and magic
Next time we go to the Philippines we will have to add this island to our list. You got your 24 hours worth out of the bike.

Philippines
A beautiful country. You make us want to go back. Had to laugh at your bliss of the air conditioning. So many miles so little time.

Sagada
No matter where one is from this looks like a place where silent reflection should be the only sound.

K2 Hostel
Hi Guys- how did you book a room at the hostel? Thanks'Gill

9th July 2019

We didn't
We just turned up. It's busy but its a massive Chinese affair so likely usually have a bed, That said with that many people staying there it must be possible to book in advance as not all could be walk ins

Classic travel journeys
You traveled amazing highways and scenic dirt paths. Your love of dangerous road and mighty mountains world wide have made for fantastic blogs... and life experiences. Life is not about gathering things but those amazing experiences that no one can take from you.

Stone cities
The history of civilisations of antiquity I find exhilarating. China has so many ancient civilisations where evidence is here and there. I have seen evidence of the Shang in Henan and Sanxingdui in Sichuan Provence (Bronze Age). Do you know the civilisation in Xinjiang that built this stone city?

Good question
That's a good question DD. The info we got there just talked in Dynasties (as the Chinese tend to do), so we only know it dates from the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). Tashkurgan has an interesting history have been the Captital of Western Regions at one stage and a kingdom of the Pamir Mountains at another. The name Tashkurgan means "Stone Fortress" or "Stone Tower" in the Turkic languages, a nod to another part of its past.
