Eileen Happy Birthday Alan. Great to be celebrating your birthday in a different country. Been trying to look at some photos and read blogs, but will definitely need a whole weekend to check them all out! You seem to be having a fantastic time and finding loads to do - some scary and challenging - very adventurous (I'm still a coward)! Next time I see you I'm sure that beard will be down to your knees! Keep having loads of fun - take care. I'll let grandad see your pics (I don't think he will read the blog) PS - thanks for the postcard. Love Eileen, Ronnie and Grandad

The Seery's Happy Birthday Alan- do you plan something fun for today? No matter what you do you will always remember it because you are away on this adventure. The waterfall looked spectacular- I bet you wished you could have had a dip since it was so hot! Enjoy your last couple of months. DDAR
