Hi all, Thanks for all your messages and calls over the last few weeks. I went to the hospital today to get my ankle checked out and I can now put weight on it and only need one crutch most of the time. The doctor recommended we started physio but when I explained our plans he said that "Walking is Physio" so we are off again back to India where we will have a few weeks of leisurely sightseeing then to Nepal where hopefully I will be OK enough to still...

Standish is a villlage on the outskirts of Wigan just off the M6. There is a Spar and a Somerfield and lots of Kebab shops.....So why are we back here exactly 8 days, 6 hours and 27 mins after we left. Well it has been a pretty hectic couple of days.

We woke up the next day ready to face the hecticne...

We got a really nice room in the Hotel we wanted, the New Bhandari Swiss Cottage which sits on the High Bank away from the ...

Wow I have more energy than I thought and can actually manage to write two in one go (we will then be up to date and the pics will follow soon). Although not on the obvious travelling circuit I have been to Bodrum several times and have a lot of friends there so it would be rude not to pop by.
