Liz and Bruce Genuine Travel Bugs

With the year slipping away and with Bruce and I having spent 9 months incountry, it's time to spread our wings again. This time to Nepal, India and Sri Lanka. I booked with Tripadeal because of the interesting itinerary and value for money price. My first foray into using Tripadeal so hopefully it will be the positive experience I am hoping for. Paul (Wollaston) is coming with us, so the past week has had us busily arranging visas for the said countries, with the Indian visa being particularly tedious with regards to the copious amounts of information required, reformatting photos and technical hitches. A quick granting of the visa was gratifying.
Last time I visited these areas I was in my early twenties doing the overland trip from the UK to Nepal in my trusty Austin diesel vehicle which had been our transport on the extensive two year journey. I sold the vehicle to a local Nepalese who was going to convert it into a people mover for use in Kathmandu. Ahhh memories.........time to make new ones.

discovered on a recent trip.

Just a quick update to say we are alive and well. Heading towards the winter solstice here in Australia so it means half of the year is almost over. We are recently returned to RV Homebase after spending three and a half months in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and then Queensland. Precious time spent with family and friends in all the different States. In Adelaide we celebrated our huge milestone of 100,000 cache finds with friends well known to us and new friends as well. We had an awesome Celebration cake provided by Good Look and a Sausage sizzle provided by none other than Freddo. One of our earliest geocaching friends.
We followed the coast for a lot of our return journey to home which was fun when the sun was shining and not so much fun when the rain was falling. We managed 15,000 kms travelling and chasing those boxes in the bush and elsewhere. I am sure a lot of you can relate to that.
