I’ve had many requests to start a blog of my travels, and until now I wasn’t sure if I was going to do one. Would I be bothered to do it, what would I write, would anyone care…? These questions still remain unanswered, however I’m just going to plough on and see how it goes! I’ll try and give a quick summary of what has happened so far
- Al became a hero in Roy’s (and my) eyes after storming across London with Roy’s holiday money that had accidentally been thrown away.
- I lost a thumb war to a 9 year old girl, and when she asked me for money and i said no she promptly punched me
- We survived the dodgiest Taxi ride in history
- We survived the dodgiest Jeep ride in history
- We survived the dodgiest Ferry ride in history
- We survived a bog standard Tuk-Tuk ride (Dodgier than any of the above)
- We were sent to bed at 8pm by the conductor on the sleeper train, then roundly shooshed by an old lady when playing cards too loudly
- Saw a really rubbish waterfall
- Saw quite a good waterfall
- Nearly ran out of petrol in the middle of nowhere
- Won a pub quiz
And that’s a fairly rough overview of the first week or so, if you’d like me to expand on anything – let me know and I’ll try to give you a full, frank and honest description of what happened.

I would like an explanation of what makes a good waterfall and what makes a bad one please. I like to pick up skills like this in life so that if it comes up in Trivial Pursuit I might get a piece of pie. Thanks, Nicola x

A bad waterfall is one that is signposted from the road, you get charged to park for, you scramble down a cliff face to get to it and it’s basically a bit of water running over a rock at about knee height. A good waterfall is one that cascades off a cliff edge many metres below. I hope this post has been eductaional for you, can you please feedback to me on how useful this response is…
