In Limbo

March 25, 2010 at 8:16 am · Filed under Uncategorized

The dictionary defines in limbo as:

an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place. or a place or state of imprisonment or confinement.
Here we are In limbo in Bangkok Airport….
like that Tom Hanks movie we’re neither here nor there…
Vietnam….you don’t know cause you wern’t there maan!
one day…one day we will make it there…there where the family awaits and lolpops line the golden syrup streets…& Gary glitter right…?!
So we get a visa on arrival to Naam…right? so you arrive and you get a visa right? WRONG you actually get a letter of approval….
OMG
this is abit mad…at the port gotta run!

Challenges

March 9, 2010 at 1:26 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

still in Pushkar….this week Chrissy’s knee’s have been killing her and my poor wife had to be admitted to hospital. a tough time for us and draining mentally…physically she is getting allot better and we have every reason to hope she can make a full recovery and relatively fast….

then my bike broke down which was more funny than sad as me and a local boy pushed the bike 3km with no engine in the desert…and the medical insurance have been a hassle etc…

I really was ready to leave Pushkar already…anyway….

life (and travel) throws challenges our way and if anything I believe people have a chance to rise up to the challenge…

so this week I will carry Chrissy around and try and not go nuts here in Pushkar….

i’ll let you know how it goes :-)

HOLI the Hindu festival of colour (though no one around could say much more about it) was loads of fun in Rajastan and the streets were filled with colour wars and jest (and some annoying youths trying to hug your wife to feel her boobs – the downside of India really).
effigies were burnt, water bombs thrown, colour everywhere and a Purim to remember…
we are now off to Pushkar…see you soon!
lot of love
