Visits
Bones in Evora
Holiday time and so another opportunity to see bones and skulls.
Not such a worrying explanation this time in Portugal.
Land mines
A visit on a quiet day in Siem Reap to the land mines museum. An hour each way on the tuk-tuk which was an interesting event in itself. An interesting story of further inhumanity.
What grabbed me was the reality of the
child soldiers and recounting Pol Pot.
In Vietnam
Winding our way from HCMC to Chau Doc on the bus yesterday. A long day with a certain level of anxiety as we went from taxi to shuttle and then to the bus without being sure if we were waiting in the right place. The 6 hours on the bus wasn’t to bad in the end.
A lovely day in the countryside on the back of mopeds today.

Abel Tasman, a Hike and Eleanor
A week late but all the same……
Four days away tramping the exquisite beauty of Abel Tasman, with beautiful weather and the company of your daughter.
It was great fun. Beautiful. Lovely weather. Huts were good quality. Good exercise.
Will do more in the future having learnt from this experience regarding kit and food.
Here is the photo gallery.

Tongariro Crossing
We have lived here for twelve years and this activity has always been on the agenda. Now it has happened. A scorching day, with lots of energy needed and aching feet the result.

escarpment pictured above. High fives.
