Hey Rich, here I am again! I hope you can remember on me ;-) I've seen you've got a lot of fun around the world. Great! Of course I did a lot of things in Cape Town as well. So my plans about Ecuador becoming clearer: I think I'll go from the beginning of may till the end of july/beginning of august next year over there! Hope we'll met us maybe again!

So have fun and keep in touch, lots of love, Lore x

hi Rich

The pictures are fantastic you must be having a brilliant  time.  I'm so pleased you got your distinction i'm really proud of you, well done.  I'm just going to see Grandma so I'll let her know how well you've done.  Say hello to Alex for me when you meet up in Goa.  Enjoy yourself.

Congratulations on the distinction. Really really pleased for you and you deserve it. I'm in awe looking at the photo's of your Everest Trek!!

Hi. Well, as you can see I'm back safely from my trek and I'm pleased to say that I made it to both Everest Base Camp and the summit of Kala Patthar - at 5545m only a hill by Himalayan standards but definitely the most challenging thing I've done. Photos and postcard updated.

In other news, I found out today that I got an MBA with Distinction so thanks to everyone who has helped and supported me along the way.

It's been a pretty good week!

Hi Rich, hope you are well and your trip is great?Just to let you know - early Dec I will return to Hamburg and start in Jan with my new job.

Take care

OK, i'm now thinking about quiting work! Latest pictures look awesome.... although i was disappointed you didn't try to take on a bigger crocidile! Sorry to see that you failed in your attempt to chat up the philipino hookers... don't worry i'm sure there's plenty more in Thailand! Not sure you'll find many at Eversest Base Camp though! Looking forward to see those pictures. Looks like your having a great time, keep on having fun.

Hi Rick

I'm sat here, in my little box-room, of my little terrace, in the little village of Englefield Green. It's getting dark. And it's raining. But who cares? I'm living out a virtual-adventure through your photos and stories! Keep it coming!

Hi Rich I live next door but one to your grandma! I'm one of "The Girls" I expect. Your mom gave me your web site and suggested I get used to it so that I can invite your grandma to come in and look at them. Really impressed by them all!! I went to SA too and your animals brought it all back. Look forward to more of the same....How exciting

Hi Rich

Looks like you are having a great time from the photos. The Hong Kong skyscrapers remind me of New York. It looks great when its all lit up at night.

Nepal looks an interesting place, and from the postcard it sounds it. Are you trekking into the mountains at any time you are there e.g. Everest Base Camp?

Have fun, and keep enjoying yourself as it looks like you are doing that.
