... attend as mourning with tears will hinder the deliverance - so many brave faces were displayed whilst we attended the three cremations that took place whilst we were there - over 200 per day the norm...!
The city of Varanasi itself is a very noisy and polluted place with nothing much to appreciate - all life (& death) happening around the Ghats.... Definately worth a visit but no more tha a couple of days and again, worth proper planning before the visit. A highlight of the visit ...

... the gorge up the gorge” debacle followed by kilometres of what, bog? on top of a mountain?!! where the hell were we?!! Also, damn the reservoir where, having run out of water, Ryan requested that I wade in and try and get some water for boiling. Cold! Muddy! Undrinkable! Squidgy!

... raining still!

It has been a bit of a blur today, as well as the Royal Marsden we have been to Addenbrookes in Cambridge, THe Queen Elizabeth in Birmingham and now I am sitting in a cosy front room in Sheffield with a real fire!
I am excited about tomorrow as we will be going back to my home town of Newcastle. Yippee!!
I have taken a few pictures of the day.

Last brief entry, just to say we are safely back home, arriving yesterday with Sue picking us up at Manchester airport.

We've had a fantastic trip - very memorable! Thank you for following our trip. Hope it hasn't been boring, certainly hasn't for us.

... addition, because of the steep learning curve, we felt that time spent in France, where we could speak the language and where caravanning and camping are far more popular, would be a more practical start. And so it proved. We had the benefit of 6 weeks in first-rate campsites, and for the most part excellent weather, to "learn the trade". Our mistakes were many, but hopefully we have learned from them and, as Chris pointed out ...

... I wasn't doing so good. A lot had happened to bring me down and I think this whole thing kinda demonstrates how you can turn a negative into a positive. Only you can hold you back and only you can lift you up so lift!

This Friday I'm putting on a gig to raise money for the school I volunteered at. Heres hoping it goes well and we manage to make a difference!

P.S I've uploaded some of my favourite photos from my trip feel free to take a peak and if you want to see the rest just ask :)

... driver that I needed to have a ticket in order to board the bus. And oh yeah, there's no ticket office. Awesome. I sprinted to an internet cafe to order a ticket. I popped in my credit card number, and still, nothing. Awesomer yet. I had no choice. I turned to the guy next to me, a Czech exchange student whose English was still a work in progress, and slowly but surely got across the message of, hey, I need to get on this bus but they're not accepting my credit card, so ...

... Sudanese people. Weeks 3 & 4 - From Wadi Halfa we rejoin our expedition vehicle for our drive across the Nubian Desert. We spend much of this journey hugging the banks of the Nile, passing through sleepy Nubian villages where we can rest in tea rooms or potter around the local souqs. Khartoum is our next stop and it has a fantastic setting on the confluence of the Blue and White Nile. Our stay here is on the banks of the Nile at the quirky but interesting Blue Nile ...
