We took the ferry over to Nainamo on Vancouver Island where we met my Aunt Thelma. It was great to see here after so many years. She took us to her home in Qualicum Beach. It is such a lovely place, so peaceful. She took us out for some fish and chips and from the restaurant watched the sun set over the beach. It really is a lovely place. T…

Hi Fiona, finally caught up on your
travels - it all sounds amazing! You certainly got around in India - I know your Mum was very envious! I'm sure Christmas must have felt quite strange and I hope you brought in the New Year in the
Highland Tradition!
We are looking forward to seeing the big firework display off of the Kessock Bridge on Saturday to celebrate the end of Highland 2007
Happy New Year to you and Lauren and I hope you have lots more fun to come!

Hi Fi
Love the blogs - first thing we do each night after work is look for the next chapter. Following your progress on the atlas - the more disasters I'm afraid the better the read!
Lots of Love Mum x

Hi Fi,
Just beboed you but found your blog here too so thought I'd come on and say how cool it all looks and sounds. I'm sure you're not wishing India away in any way but I'll bet you'll be excited to return to the 'Pore too. Give it some love from me and Phil when you get there.
Keep the blogs coming, they're very interesting.

Hi Fiona
Just looked at your videos - exactly as we remember India a couple of years ago. The spice market scene is great - honking horns and general mayhem! Just watch out for traffic lights at the road junctions in the cities - a red light is just a mere suggestion in India!

Hi Fiona,
Enjoyed reading your first blog about Delhi - you described it very well, I could almost have been there. Great to see some pictures too.
Look forward to the next installment
Very envious Mum and Dad x

Hi Fiona,
Greetings from Key West. You will be discovering all your senses in India. It is an amazing place and I expect quite a culture shock. I have to say that in all our travels, India was the most challenging, so if you can cope with life there, the rest of your trip will be plain sailing. Try to stick to vegetarian food if you want to avoid Delhi Belly (hope this advice is not too late) Looking forward to reading about your travels. Take care, lots of love, Lesley and Roy

Hi Fiona, I remember how it was for us a year ago, you will be excited and desperate to go. All I can say is that Ails year went very quickly and she loved every minute of it. Charlie and I even managed to hold back on changing her room into an office lol. Hope to see you before you go but if I miss you will keep an eye out for you on this page. Have a great time, keep safe and have fun. Very jelous Sue and Charlie xx
