Deothjung Hotel Trashigang

I love the Dominican republic we just got back
and it was fantastic. We stayed at this beautiful luxury villa in Cap Cana
called Villa de Cap Cana. It was amazing! We had a private pool and wonderful

Paro is just about as touristy a place as it gets. The claim to fame of this wonderful land is the Tiger's Nest. By the time we reached Paro we had had our fill of monasteries and monks and scenic beauty. Frankly all we wanted was now to get away from the world into some peace and quiet and ...

... in Rajkot.  England lose by 158 runs. A quick dash from the south of India from where Mrs FB had been dispatched back to England.  To make the game a plane had to be caught (desperate times, desperate measures) and a train (5 hours) to arrive in Rajkot 36 hours before the game was due to start.  Little to say about Rajkot apart from the fact it ticked all the expected boxes - dusty, polluted, noisy and dirty.   But fortunately redeemed by some fine ...

Dr. Dipak Ghosh exclaimed "What a catch!" Monpa youth gave a proud smile as he posed for photograph with the huge mahaseer, a fish found in the Himalayas. We were on a fishing trip on the River Jiabharali close to Bhalukpong. Bhalukpong is the entry point of West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh.

Hi all! I expect you have been wondering what has happened to us. No we haven't fallen down the side of a mountain in the car (though there has been plenty of opportunity) and we haven't been eaten by bears (though Miranda did see a bear print in the mud while trekking). We are actually writing this back in the capital Thimphu, having travelled all the way to Eastern Bhutan and back. Available time on the internet has been a bit difficult until ...
