Reflections...
I love a summary blog, but this was a summary blog with a difference - thanks for the enjoyable read. Sorry you had a bad experience in Australia, and I can see how something like that would colour your view of the place at the time. I need to read your southern African blogs at some point - it sounds like you had a fabulous time. Here's to many more years of travelling together! :)

Searching for rainbows
What a trip...what a life...truly inspiring. Life can be an adventure. Sounds like yours has been a blast. But what rings out is it would not have happened if you had not done it together. Now that is really special. Sensational blog...sensational collection of photographic memories.

Beautiful France!
Thank you for this blog entry. It reminded me that there is much more to France than Paris! Incredible natural landscapes here, and beautiful little medieval villages. Indeed, I also thought your picture of the waterfall at Sethenex looked very rainforest-like!

Annecy
Oh yes, you will love it. It is really beautiful. Just better to be avoided in peak season (august) and on weekends. And the lake is stunning!

France
Indeed, I completely relate to your point on not visiting one's closest neighbours - I've yet to set foot in the Republic of Ireland myself! Great to read about your trip to France. A little perturbing to read about talk of civil war, this has not been reported in our UK media at all. I shall keep France and the French in my prayers. Good to hear you found such peace still in your spiritual master's presence :)

civil war
yes, it is completely strange what the media says about the civil war in France. It is in the news in Germany and Switzerland - but friends in france haven't heard of it. Well, I do not believe what media is telling us in general. In my opinion, there are some areas in the big cities that are better to be avoided (this is the same since years). But police seems to be really present. So, one just should use common sense at the moment. Germany, i.e., is not safer at the moment.....

How is this possible?
Never been to France. Geez... you need to get out more. Glad you took a trip to explore.Doesn't sound like those earlier trips should count. Cheaper gas in Switzerland is hard to believe. Glad you enjoyed the cafes.

France
Well, France is not the only country or place that is missing and that is close. But one has only so much time - and there is so much to see...... ;-)

Near or far
We know what you mean about overlooking places closer to home, we are often guilty of that... but there's so much of the world to see, and only so much time. We enjoy looking around supermarkets in new places too, it can tell you a lot about the place and its people :)

Supermarkets
Oh yes, this is true. Supermarkets tell so much. But in France, the best baguette is not in the supermarkets but in the little bakeries all over the places.

Feel sorry for you
Although I haven't visited any northern parts of India, I am really eager to visit. This Poor Man's Taj is so much alike to the real one. Visit Us

Love of Mountains
Glad to see you are out enjoying mountains as they bring you joy. Great move to ski in Italy and get a free sauna thrown in. You should write a tips to Europe blog with off the beaten path locations and things we foreigners don't know about.

Ski Getaway
Sounds like you had a wonderful ski getaway. Great to read about such a quiet valley with not many other people around. The accommodation indeed looks very cosy :)

Holiest place on earth
Dave and I have traveled to many locations that make this claim. How does one measure that statement? What an experience and life you are having. So glad when you share your pilgrimage. Your love affair continues. It is great life has given you something that fills you up.

Holy places
Yes, it is true tha tmany places claim to be the holiest ones in the world. Measuring based on facts that we can see is one thing: Vrindavan which is a small town (esp. in India) has over 5000 temples. That means around every corner there is a temple. Nowhere in the world there is such a density of temples/churches. That means, day and night there is a constant singing in the air. It feels like Vrindavan never sleeps. It is not noisy at night but you here the singing of some prayers even in the middle of the night. It is the place where Krishna spent his childhood. On another level, which man can not see and touch a lot of things are happening in Vrindavan. Many small and big miracles. Some of them are sometimes visible or one can experience them, some are stories and some are personal. Happy you enjoyed our blogs about our pilgrimage. Happy travels!

Thank you
Thank you for enabling me, and other readers, to experience this amazing pilgrimage with you both. I find it particularly amazing how you were able to find so much energy for it, with its busy schedule and all night dancing towards the end! There must definitely have been some positive source of energy there for you both. I wish you both a peaceful time to relax and contemplate your journey post-trip. Thank you again :)

Vrindavan
That was quite a heady experience reading this blog...the thoughts and experiences of a devotee on pilgrimage with her spiritual master...extra insight provided as you were an official or authorised photographer. Thank you for sharing.

Pizza!
Wow! Pizza delivered whilst travelling on a train in India! What a unique experience, and indeed a great idea to avoid travel sickness amongst the group :) Good to read about Rishikesh - I visited around 10 years ago and really enjoyed my time there.

Yes, the pizza was quite an experience. I was surprised that it worked out and was delivered on time, nicely hot and fresh! ;-)
