    Very great work at the topic of India. You tell me all aspects of life in India, even their life style, culture and people. Children in rough getup show their real life aspects. The last picture makes me laugh a lot to see a naked man. Women are also appearing there dresses. I want to say you congrates for this great article.

    Oh dear, I dont think I have laughed so much – the English Couple, obviously close rellies of Barbara Windsor, had me in hysterics. Well done. I was a cruising virgin until crossing the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2 last week – although a sailor, why did we choose mid November to do this crossing – and I came to the conclusion that it was people watching at its best. Well done.

  4. andrew,
    your travel to chang mai remind me of 1985 when ed erik(age 13) and i went to chang mait. we had a great time riding elephants, going to a lot of wat’s. ed finally opted out and them we walk a cross the border into burma, where at once we were offered a bong for 50cents. ed, now being a usn capt wanted to run right back but erik and i kept him at bay for a couple of hours in the small burmese town. we have so many funny and good memories from there. thank you for yours.
    love

    John had a pen friend who lived in KL and we spent a wonderful holiday there a few years ago. We enjoyed Mallaca and especially a wonderfully restaurant called Mama Fatsos where we ate crab curry which was the best ever! We also spent a few days in Penang which was very interesting due to its colonial past.
    Loving your blog as usual
    Take care Pennyxx

        We should have more festivals in the UK they do look fantastic and a great way of getting the community together mind you the weather helps.

        The large scale models are ugly though.
        Love the note about the bolster, It must be something we [ from lancashire ] have a thing about – I love them too. You can imagine how I giggled when I saw the photo – It wasn’t the photo – I was imaging your faces. What are they saying?
        Funny, funny funny – scene is set what ever next I wonder?

    andrew. Oh! I am so sorry to hear that Bali has gotten worse. When we lived in Guam, the early “90’s we went to Bali often as a retreat from Typhoons, etc. At that time it wasn’t too bad. I learned to never look at anything they were selling unless i really wanted it. and our son Erik just emptied his pockets and turned them inside out. He won his battle. I did not.

  22. jennifer's avatar jennifer says:

    Last posting – all looks good but as you say the bus is very small and it states on the front it is in fact a rescue vehicle???. They will be hard pushed to attract many tourist if as you say the water situation is very poor. Gordon looks happy though so I guess all is well.

  23. jennifer's avatar jennifer says:

    Andrew you sound like Geoff. Your getting to grumpy. Gordon has the right Idea. Don’i complain until you really have to they wont listen when you need them to. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. xx

    Oh Dear what can I say about Ed. Not a lot – glad you ditched him boys. Pity you didn’t ask him for his 3rd of the bill. I would have loved you to take a picture of his face. It was a pity to see STARBUCK’s have also invaded this capital city . Effraim loves Tokyo so I hope you both did apart from the invading french man. Where to next on your never ending journey. xx

    The images you portray with words are just magical. no sure I liked the G string photo it rather spoiled the tattoos which is a first for me. The guy in the hat and sunglasses looks like an older version of J Depp quite scary I thought. How the hell did you get these pictures, I know you said they are open about their trade but This image is close up and personal. That’s why Effraim saw nothing untoward its all taken care of by the big boys.
    The girls as always look great so I expect you both enjoyed photographing them.

    Glad you feel you want o return at a later date.

    HAPPY SAILING. Jenni

    Sorry about your jumbo flight attendant experience. “Bless his heart.” Perhaps there were a couple of air marshals hidden inside and ready to burst out, if needed.

  37. Moo's avatar Moo says:

    Hi you two! Always looking forward to your next fabulous excursion. Just FYI, the country is spelled Colombia. I haven’t been there since I lived there at twelve years old and am very excited to read about your Colombian experiences. You must try arepas, mmmm so good! Makes my mouth water just thinking about them. And any dessert with dulce de leche, like an arequipe, yum! If you want to be healthier, try the corn on the cob street vendors as well. And if you go to Bogota, the Gold Museum is not to be missed. Keep a close eye on your belongings! My father had his windshield wipers stolen and then the kids tried to sell them back to him. After a good look at my 6’1″ pissed off father with a big red beard they handed over the wipers and scampered off. Much love to you! : )

    • andrew's avatar andrew says:

      Hi Moo!!! How lovely to hear from you
      Thanks for the spelling tip. Gordon is most upset as he is the editor and said he paid special attention to “Colombia”~! Not enough, obviously!
      Sadly we are only in Cartagena for a day. We were supposed to be there for the evening as well and we had a restaurant booked. But at the last minute the cruise ship changed the hours and now we are leaving earlier. So just a few hours to enjoy that fabulous city (we have been there before) and that is it for Colombia
      Much love to you – we miss you

    I have to tell you that I just love your blog. The pictures are stunning and of course your writing is witty, entertaining, and educational…rating very high on my fabulosity meter! (I even love the beautiful borders.)
    What do you think? Does Cartagena or Cuba win the prize for the world’s most incomprehensible spanish?

  39. andrew's avatar andrew says:

    Moo, many thanks for those lovely complements. Strangely enough we are off to Cuba when we get off the ship – 16 days driving ourselves around! There will definitely be blogs although the lack of wifi maybe a problem! We will let you know about their version of spanish. Have you been to Cuba?

    Hi Robert, I am sorry if you find the blog too negative at times. I have written several blogs about Buenos Aires back in February 2013 if you want to check them out. Buenos Aires is one of my favourite places, but I think it is important to show that there is so much more to a place than what the average tourist sees.
