missing
In just a few days, sleeping will be done on this here rock, diving by day, and hopefully spotting turtle vulva by night. Then comes some serious botanising, trekking jungle and mountain ridge for the greater part of three months with festering clothing and missing tent-pegs for company.
My former stomping grounds have more internet cafés than Seattle does Starbucks outlets, so one or two updates could be forthcoming from any of the unmarked (but frequent) stops on the itinerary below.
And that's that. Which leaves me to ask that you people take care of yourselves; I can't look after your interests from 7200 miles away.
Bye bye!
Farewell, Dr Intrepid; fare very well indeed. I'm hugely jealous, naturally; also admiring.
We'll try to survive in your absence. You do understand, however, that any harm that befalls any of us here in your absence will be your personal responsibility? Just checking ;-)
And you have the gall to be jealous of my meagre 20 days in the east Pacific??
3 months hunting orchids on Luzon and peacock-pheasants in Palawan?? You swine, sir!
Have a fantastic time...
Well if you're going to be galumphing around in those many places, you could at least make a pit-stop in Karachi and have one of the servants do your laundry.
Oy! Have fun, Sin. I look forward to the pictures when you return.
