Right now I'm back in Bali, in Ubud which you would love if you like old temples. They are everywhere! Bali has a unique culture and style, but the architecture is somehow related to the Khmer culture in Cambodia,and there is also vaguely similar in Thailand,but different to most of what you see in India. Yes, you must definitely do that trip with your dad. He would find the history fascinating. I admit to being a bit tired after so much travelling in 6 weeks. Vietnam from north to south was too quick and didn't do it justice,but was good for a taster. Plenty of temples there too. Also too much beer was drunk .. Which tends to happen once a crowd of backpackers forms! We did have a great time though. So many photos and it's too hard to upload many without a proper computer. I am forcing my iPad to function as a computer,and while it will do some things, it won't do everything very well,but I'm glad I have it. Once I get home, then I will sort out all the thousands of photos. Its actually cool and rainy today, which makes a change from too hot. Reminding what it wll be like to be back in England. I have not watched or read any world news since I've been away,which has been a good experience and a break from the gloom,but I know once I get back it will be back to Radio 4 etc. That's weeks of Archers to catch up on haha. So yeah, back to Blighty on Sunday ..
6 weeks of travelling is quite a lot actually especially if you were constantly on the move, even if you were relaxing lots in between. I can imagine it 'taking its toll'.
>Also too much beer was drunk :) What beer were you drinking out there?
I always feel disoriented when I step away from the internet and news on my travels to Oman and India but you're absolutely right on the break from the gloom. Follow the news and it's drummed into you on a daily basis. Life always seems more cheerful without the news.
Blighty is pleased to have you back. Perhaps you could've brought some of the hotter weather though?
