I've just gotten back from Germany where I went to a screening of pleasure marriage - a film that I play the main character in. Anyhow, while there I made a little video for my sister... I place it here for her to randomly find at some point. There is another posted on My Potato and friends here!

**************** I'M BACK **************** While on the Andaman Islands a good friend I made offered me a 5 month dive season at his school/resort. It would have meant waking up everyday to white sandy beachs backed by palm trees, all the warmth and ease that living on a tropical paradise island brings, and of course diving everyday twice a day for free in

****The Andaman Islands**** After a 5 day boat journey across the bay of Bengal from Calcutta I reached Port Blair, the centeral 'city' of the Islands. From there I took transport to Havelock Island where I spent 2 weeks in the peace and quiet. What a place! The island still holds an unspoilt natual beauty that is difficult to find

**********Treking in Tibet********** We took a bus to a Monastery called Ganden, (east of Lhasa for those of you with a map) and from there pplanned to trek to a monastery called Samye. The Ganden monastery was really beautiful. As with nearly all the Buddists institutions here in Tibet it was obviously lacking in the Monk contingent it would have been occupied with in the

******The Gosaikund Lakes****** With the Situation in Tibet susses out as much as I can from this end of things, I have booked a 4x4 leaving Nepal on the 17th July - the day before my visa runs out. With that done, we decided to get a bus to the Langtang Valley and do a treck from there that would lead us to the Gosainkund lakes. However due to another Moist strike nothing was

******Chitawan National Park****** In the south of Nepal, in the Teria region lies the Chitawan National Park. This piece of jungle stretchs all the way down into India, crossing the Indian border like it was a barrier created by humans for humans only. This being the off season, the place was quiet both in human and animal terms. The rains mean that they

I return after a long, hard and rewarding 17 day treck around the Anapurna region of the Himalaya. The views were spectacular, the mountains awe inspiring, and the trek excellent. The route took me and my companion (a Bristolian named Damian Page) up through contries that varied from resembling the rockies of Canada right into the heart of the mountians and the Throng-La Pass. The pass at

I am all set to go and tomorrow morning I'm heading out to the Anapurna region to hike around the mountains their. I will be out of contact for a while, anything up to 25 days potentially though probably less. So I wish you all my love, and look forward to sharing my stories on returning to civilisation.

********Dheli********* I arrived in Dehli with one of the guys (Joel) who set up and runs: www.project-himalaya.com Joel was a dude and as well as enjoying his company I got a good feel for the treking situation. I spent two days in Dehli, and it was a real game of two halves. The first day I stayed on 'white road' in Pahagang, named so because it is filled with white

*****KILLING TIME IN KUWAIT***** On arival at kuwait airport I said goodbye to the Soldiers from Chillie that I had met on the plane. I bid them "Swerte" - good luck. I hope that the war in Iraq does not claim them as casualties. The entire flight was filled with soldiers heading into Iraq. It seems that they fly to Kuwait commercial then take military transport from there to

On the 17th May 2004 I fly to Dehli to begin my journey to the Himalaya's. Why am I doing this? My reasons are many; I wish to see mount Kailash the ancestral home of Lord shiva and there perform Shiva Abishekum; I wish to bath in Lake Manasvarova if possible, and there clense my body, mind and spirit; finally I want to learn how to do Tibetan overtone singing - a form of meditative chanting

I'm in India, seated in the offices of Aerotherm products with the sounds of angle grinders and other spark produce metal tools from the factory floor below. I've had two very contrasting experiences here. The first week saw me living with my entire family in just one small room and a gas cooker at Swamiji's ashram in Mysore.

Me Gusta Bolivia! It is a very nice country. The people are very friendly and the climate is varied but lovely. There is a drink here called Api, it is made with Maze, suger and Cinimon and is served with a piece of fried bread of a fried cheeze very thin light Pasty type thing. A good way to start the day. The odd thing is the drink is hot and filling, and the pastry is light and fluffly. It is

So I'm here in Bolivia. Arived in Oruro this morning at 6am on a train. The place is amazing. The Markets extend well out of the designated areas and along alot of the streets. I bought my self a Llama Poncho to keep warm, and am eyeing up a Llama hat as well! This morning we got breakfast in the Marjet area, and we drunk a drink called Ape. It was made with Maze, suger, cinnamon and some other

Well it's been a while! I travelled to Mendoza and in a nearby town we went to a natural bridge. Made by Sulfer bearing streams that have eaten away at the rocks, the bridge spans just short of 30 meters long, and 19m above the river it spans. It was cool. Natural hots springs also constantly rushed out forming endless streams running along the bridge, so a constant 'rain' of drips fell from the

Tuesday 13th May 2003 (logged late due to internet Problems) I am here in Bariloche, and it is a beautiful town. Went out on the town on Saturday Night and this country run´s on a completely different time scale to England. The locals don't start heading out till midnight, and some places don't even open intill 2-3am! We were on our way to some kind of club or dance place, and towards the edge

Here I am, in Pucon and yesterday I bagged me a volcanoe. It was amazing! We started early in the morning in order to kit up properly – special trousers, hat, gloves, crampons, sun glasses, ice axe and gas mask. Then set of for the volcanoe. We had the option of using the ski lift at the beginning and miss the first hour, but instead decided to hard core it and walk. It was one Kilometre of a

After a 4 days on a boat I have now arrived in Peurto Mont.The Boat experience was real good.We made friends with The 2nd Officer 'Christian', who was a dude! Very patient, welcoming and a good teacher, he answered our many questions and took us through the basic functions of the ship, showing us how to plot and navigate - and alowing us to test our skills by checking our position on the map by

I am currently in Peurto Natales, awaiting a boat that will take me 4 days through the Chillian Fiords to Peuto Mont. I travelled to El Chalten, where I managed to top the Grey Glacier. We met up with a group of isralies and we hired 2 cars. Leaving the house at 6am, we drove to the Moreno Glacier to watch the sun rise... Oh my word! Spectacular. This Monster of a glacier stretching 14 Kilometers
