Dharamsala, India

Ah, Dharamsala! Western style food and a mountain village. The mist hasn't lifted the whole time we've been here, but apparently the views are amazing. - We've had a look at the postcards! The main reason for coming here was to find out more about the situation in Tibet. Many of the indiginous people from Tibet arrive as refugees to Dhara…

Pauline & Robin Well! I have just caught up with SE Asia.......and........WOW! Brilliant reporting Jeanette!! I could feel the heat....see the sights.... smell the scents...and almost sense the culture & ambience of the areas you visited. Pat yourselves on the back for helping us 'wrinklies' to share your experiemces. In some respects I am so envious...but then I don't do snakes too well, and I like toilets that flush, and I like being able to wash my hands...whenevr I want!! Do I detect a desire to dive now? My very dear friend happens to have her master divers qualification and only too willing to help you both! Hopefully, we may be lucky enough to enjoy a little 'soiree' in the near future - well about Xmas time I suppose. You are going to have to do a 'presentation' you know but we'll supply the food etc...I won't mention work of course, or UK, or winter, or being in one place for more than 24 hours!! It will be so good to see you both...but I wonder how you guys are feeling??????? HMMMMM! Love to you both from Pauline Robin..and Archie XXXXX

Just how are you going to ever come back to the UK with so much more of the world to experience...but hey! That's 6 months away yet..and are we looking forward to hearing and seeing you again!! Glad that problems are few...just think how boring it would be without them!!! Just make sure there are no c...roaches, or other wildlife lurking in your backpack on your return home.

Pauline Brilliant read!! Just been catching up on your adventures so far - a touch of 'green eye' when you talked of the Salmon and Eagles....marvellous experience to see in their natural habitat. You have already done so much - I bet it doesn't seem like a month of your 'big adventure' has passed either. Keep well and safe...thinking of you and wishing you joy!! XXXXXX
