Pride in the hills
I’ve had a really interesting few days. The mosquito’s have organised themselves and managed to form a message in braille which I think reads “Your blood is ours” but I may of mis-translated that, it could read “Welcome to Pai”. In the tourist books Pai is touted as a bit of a hippy commune and… Continue reading Pride in the hills
Throwing myself off a moutain
I have been an avid cyclist for a while now and even though I owned a cross country bike I never really took it offroad that often.

Trials of a traveller

I sit and wonder what is so fascinating and what is going through the mind of he person who… Continue reading Trials of a traveller
Welcome to the jungle
A backdated entry for those reading via e-mail, this happened while I was in the jungle a few days ago. Yes another musical reference and from a band I hate, yeah I hate Guns And Roses, there I said it. For the past three days I have relaxed in a wooden hut trying to apply… Continue reading Welcome to the jungle
A first for me
So my last few days have been really relaxed, I have tried to write a bit more of the book but again not been able to focus on the things I think I should be focussing on, typical.
