As I reach the half way point of my adventure...
... a really nice gesture. I have plenty of pictures but I need to get them off my hosts camera.
We have also said goodbye to Bob on Saturday evening. He is heading up north for a few days and then returning to the US to plan his next trip. I have really enjoyed his company and he was very popular with the family. Everyone is going to miss him and I wish him a safe journey home.
