Zanzibar Heaven!
After Dar, Zanzibar was a welcomed relief for me too. I enjoyed reading your experiences and hopefully will get around to blogging mine. Nice picture!

Baboons
Wow, how great! Loved the blog.

Such wonders of nature. :)
I'm glad more and more people decide to shoot cameras instead of rifles at them. I long to be able to go there and witness such beauty myself. :)

Kingdom of Brunei
We loved our time in Brunei. You've captured a lovely photo of the mosque.

Nepali Trek Next Generation
What a lovely story about going to see the Lamas family.

Good read
So that's a true monsoon. Looks like we've been exaggerating our coastal rains. The river looks spectacular, like Hagwilget Canyon near Hazelton BC. You must be walking in headwater country. And it looks like Nepal, like Canada, has water. Nice layout in your blog. I like the balance of text and images, and easy navigation. Engaging. Thanks for sharing your travel stories, dd

Well you are in Asian leopard cat country. Wouldn't it be cool to see the foundation wild cat of the Bengal breed in the wild?

Great read
Glad to see my birthplace. I'm born and bred there

a few corrections
I'm glad you guys enjoyed your Mostar trip. However, you do seem to have some of your signals crossed. Where you parked was most likely on the so-called east side of Mostar. Up until May 1993, the Bosnian Croats and Bosnjaks (aka Muslims) were allies against the Bosnian Serbs. In May 1993 a conflict broke out between Croats and Muslims. The east side is often referred to as the 'Muslim' side and the west as ''Croat.' Although i reject the idea of an ethnically divided Mostar - reality sings a different tune. In short - you were on the 'Muslim' side not the Serbian side. Most Serbs were left or were driven from Mostar...with a very small Serbian population remaining. The guy that was 'watching' your car was, simply spoken, an opportunist. It's easy to convince foreigners of impending danger (especially with bullet hole ridden buildings around) and scare them into paying. What plagues Mostar more than anything is economic depression. People are generally poor, particularly on the east side. There is no right or wrong side to park on. Those days are behind. What i do recommend is for anyone traveling to BiH with foreign license plates is to park in a lot with an attendee. That way any crooks (not Serbs, Croats or Muslims)...won't have their way with your belongings. Hope you come to see us!
