A few travel journals from my admittedly limited noodles out and about

Hopefully this will be an organic collection of notes, thoughts, chronicles and experiences from my travels which having deemed strong enough to warrant jotting down in the first place - I figure now, may as well be pined up for anyone curious enough to peer into this particular cyber door to peruse. I hope to be able to add tales of other adventures to come but in the meantime please feel free to see how much of my twaddle you can stomach. You can choose from:

• Nepal (1997) - pretty extensive notes from a freebie holiday lifted from work. Destinations include Kathmandu, Gorka, Pokhara, Chitawan and Bhaktapur
• Peru (1999) - again comprehensive jottings from 3 weeks in South America. Including musings on Nazca, Cuzco, Altitude Sickness, The Inca Trail, The Jungle and Puno (Lake Titikaka)
• Peru (2001) - yeah well, I had a friend staying out there and it is such a magnificent place another trip is justified. I've tried to avoid too much repetition - and the two extra years reflects in the appreciation of the place! Thoughts on Lima (coast), Paracas, Cuzco, The Sacred Valley, The Jungle, and the delights of eating pets.
• Loch Ruthven (2002) - Near Inverness, at sunset - one for the ornithologists among you.

A quick word?: These are the journals from my holidays. Times that are very special for me. First and foremost I've kept these records because this bumbling machine I call my mind is fallible and unreliable at storing data. Even just writing these pages brought back floods of memories, sights, sounds, smells, emotions, quirky thoughts I had at the time etc... So this is a very subjective viewpoint. In parts it's overly sentimental, in others it may seem over the top - as the spirit takes me and the words fall out, so I've typed them. I sometimes wax lyrical, I delight in informing the reader of things they might rather not want to know and sometimes wallow in descriptive mires that may seem pretentious or flamboyant. And I'm not sorry. It's these passages that keep the times alive and I hope make the reading more enjoyable than the multitude of fact based and ultimately unpalatable reading I did prior to visiting these places! 

Hope you enjoy!
