Racing north to Hong Kong....

Hello again to you! It's been a while hasn't it? We had a lot of problems with the internet over Christmas and so it just wasn't possible to write this next episode before now. Unfortunately that means I've got a month's worth of travelling to tell you about this time instead of the usual 2 weeks! We've covered alot of ground in this last month as we headed north from Phnom Penh in Cambodia to Hong Kong where we are now. Ultimately we're on our way to Beijing where, in 3 weeks time, we should hopefully be boarding the train to Moscow for the last big trip before going home. As I've got so much to write about this time I shall attempt to do what many of you will undoubtedly think is impossible by now and that is to not go into quite so much detail. If I write in my usual style then we'll both be here forever! Oh, a quick message before I begin: GOOD LUCK with your trip, Noel. I hope and believe you'll have a wonderful, wonderful experience!!! So,...

Photos 08 - La Paz, Bolivia

Image
I'm posting these photos before I've written the corresponding installment to my travelogue. We are currently in La Paz and these photos were taken earlier this week. The next 'post' will contain more information about these photos. We're both using the same camera at the moment so some are taken by me and some by Lynn. 01) Our hotel in La Paz is right on the edge of the 'Handicraft Market'. Most of the shops around here sell colourful things like these bags and purses. (Photo by Rich) 02) We're also only one block away from the 'Witches Market'. All sorts of potions and charms and lucky trinkets can be bought from this place. Perhaps the most disgusting items for sale though are the dried-out unborn llama foetuses which you are supposed to purchase and then bury in your front garden to ward off evil spirits. Not sure I'd get it through customs, to be honest. Oh, and they really stink! (Photo by Rich)

Beijing to St. Petersburg - The final leg....

Greetings to you all! I hope you are all healthy and fit. Well, Lynn and I are now back in England. Our tremendous year on the road has, sadly, come to an end and we're now back in the land of mortgages, pensions and bills... how thoroughly depressing it all is! Anyway, sincere apologies for not writing this last episode sooner. I could give you 101 excuses as to why I haven't done it but I'll give you just the one and a damn fine one it is too. Excuse No. 1 for not writing sooner: We had no internet connection. See, I told you it was good. Now we've got Broadband installed though my excuses have dried up and so here I am, back at the computer, about to embark on a lengthy bit of typing so you can finally read about the last 12 days of the trip. Read on my friends... On Tuedsday 7th February we wake early and pack the last of our stuff. At 06:40 we have to be at the Beijing Central Train Station for a 07:40 departure to Moscow. Most of our packing involves sorting out t...
