- Here is what you all want to see, of course, a stunned mullet of a man in a camera repair shop, unwittingly testing the handiwork of Mr Repairman. Even the poor lens stood up to this kind of merciless visual onslaught, so he must have been pretty good ;) : - But no-one really wants to see me (apart from me :D ) so here is the last part of India,... more

- This lot are mostly rather good, if I do say so myself. Mind you I have to say that to weasel my way out of such an appalling title don't I? :roll: Well it's another valid Star Trek ripoff and that's all that matters. - In a vague attempt to make everyday objects look interesting, I travelled 5,000 miles to find objects that are everyday to... more

- Mangalore, and I can't even remember what this is. It's that fort, right. Well it looks pretty and that's all that matters: A church with a belltower - y'know, I think we might be in Madikeri right now...? - No, it's Kerala for the first time, and the spinning of rope from coconut husk ( a pretty tedious process, but essential) in the middle of... more

- A Note From My Liver (to: Myself)

- This isn’t for anyone else’s benefit, but is for my own undastardly (for once) purposes. It’s highly personal and not especially interesting, so, unless you have 10 minutes of your life you feel like sparing for no good reason, or you know me personally and want to sympathise/taunt me, then there’s not much here to interest ya. I hope you’re not... more

- It wasn't even 3 O'clock in the morning. Before three AM they started, and unsurprisingly I wasn't sleeping after they had got their groove on. I could have almost murdered them, those bloody Christians. Yes, the small cathedral around the corner (Kerala is such a place that you can have small cathedrals, and they can easily tuck themselves... more

- Good news/bad news: Bad news is that my camera lens refuses to leave the safety of its battered shell in an orderly manner any longer, so for all intents and purpose it is broken. The display even tells me: `lens error, restart camera` which is thoughtful of Canon to have included, but a little inaccurate in my case. `lens error, buy a new one`... more

- I have a slight confession to make even though it is more a statement of pride, in a sense. Apart from 2 beers on the Backwater boat trip two days ago, taken with lunch in the middle of the day and quite metabolized by about 4pm, I haven’t drunk a drop of alcohol in, now, seven days. That’s a week, for those of you not up with post-Babylonian... more

- I resent the fact that most people will say “don’t run” in mildly perilous situations involving slippery surfaces or gravel slopes, that it’s generally accepted that you shouldn’t jump fences to take obvious shortcuts out of courtyards and compounds, swing yourself under the railing next to the entrance instead of walking the long way around, or... more

- Current time -> 08:24am Last night or, rather, this morning since I finally left the lobby computers (and the poor guy who sleeps in the hotel lobby) at 12:30am, I could not sleep. Not for love, money, toffee, nor beans could I sleep, probably not even for unified world peace could I leave the realm of the awakened such was my state of... more

- I'll get these photos up to date so I can start doing this like a proper travel writer if it kills me. There a LOT of photos in this one, but first of all in an effort to stay on top of the proper travel writing process; which is where a writer tells you about where he has just been while all the thoughts are fresh, and provides relevant and... more
