OK, so today has been a bit pants, but the one thing that almost always cheers me up is recalling our three month trip. What’s scary is it’s now over two years ago since we left these shores. Indeed, two years ago we were admiring the Cherry Blossom in Japan.
Something that comes close to that is reading about other peoples travels, which help either give ideas for future trips, or encourage you to think back to travels of your own. Roger Darlington trip, with his wife, to Indochina are in the former (if only I can pursuade Frances to go for it), and Natalie and Steve’s travel journals are in both.
Natalie and Steve are currently in New Zealand, and their Photo’s at flickr bring back plenty of memories. You also get to play spot the difference, with an almost identical picture of the view down into Doubtful Sound. Here’s mine, and Here’s Steve and Natalies. This is helped somewhat as the bus stops in the same place: It’s a stunning view, giving a real sense of the grandeur of it all. They’re keeping an excellent travel log, which I highly recommend reading to help take you to far off places.
So, the prize for cheering me up go to Natalie and Steve. And they weren’t even trying. Probably in bed, as it’s four in the morning over there right now.
