I´m quite looking forward to getting to Asia and seeing a few temples now, although I´m sure it won´t be long before I have the ame problem there…

I’ve travelled to most countries in Europe and i whole heartedly agree that churches DO all look the same once you’ve been to a few! Some of my mates disagree but it’s good to hear that i’m not alone in my opinion!

Cheers Kirsty, I know what you mean about that, I’ve heard the same in several countries

One thing I’ve learned is that locals are the first people to tell you how dangerous their own country is. I can’t tell you how many people in China were horrified at the idea of me travelling around alone… it is one of the safest places I’ve ever been. Same goes for lots of places.

Nice post, enjoy the rest of your travels!

I personally think the boat photo is still you’re best yet.. for a non SLR that is.

Has it been 3 months already? Some good lessons learned. We’re still at the getting our feet wet stage but are already finding some of your observations to be true!!
Cheers!

This is the first post that I have read by you and I like it, especially like the picture of the boats as I’m a photographer in training as well.
I can relate to the budget thing as I just arrived in Iguazu after an 18 hour bus ride in the Cama Ejectivo class which was just brilliant.. It can’t be compared at all to the chicken busses we took in Asia, can’t go back to that after this! :)

I think I’ve become a Colombia bore. :) Hell, I started a whole blog about it as an outlet! I don’t think I’m a budget traveler so much anymore, or at least I think I’ve graduated to flashpacker status between my 3-course French meals in Laos and the requirements of keeping a blog regularly updated.

Looking forward to your next leg.

It’s always interesting to stop and reflect on how it’s going. I agree with you about taking days off, it can make everything else seem more interesting and fresh. On my last RTW trip, I also gained an appreciation of outdoors stuff, having always lived in London and considered myself a city lover. I’m looking forward to spending lots of time outdoors on my next RTW trip.
