Last port of call...

This will probably be my last blog for a while so I decided to give you all a break from my treacherous writing skills and instead let the story be told through the photos. Thank you for all of your comments over the last year, they definitely make all of those hours spent in internet cafes worthwhile!

I jumped a few fences to get in here! :P

Nice writing
Joel, I enjoyed your writing in this blog. It contains a rare and haunting beauty, you transcend the mere confines of the page and transport the reader to wherever it is that you have been. The photos are ok as well :P

Thanks Joel, I will miss the blogs -especially your entertaining writing. I fear, such are the paradoxes of life, that I will be less in contact with your life now you are a suburb or two away that I was when you were on the other side of the world! Hopefully we'll catch up again soon.
