A Farewell To Martina
|
At some stage it had to happen - I'd been eating off the streets; been
drinking too much beer not enough water; been pretty lax on the hygiene stakes;
it's fulla' flies around here and I'd been boasting about how good life was: I
shouldn't have been surprised. So, when Martina burst in at......Read More

Of Heights And All ThingS Dangerous
|
It was sunshine and blue sky, the usual for around here, as we strolled
towards the Annapurna foothills - a perfect start to our trek. A few hundred
metres up and we were stopped at a Maoist terrorist checkpoint where an entry

A Merry Christmas One And All
|
I'm back. Still a little disorientated. People say to me: 'What was the best bit?' and, at the moment, I can't truly answer. I've been to the end of the world; the top of the world; I've seen the best stars in the world (twice); I've had a glimpse of heaven, a glimpse of hell; I've read Proust;......Read More
