In gili meno now...

Our apologies - I tried to upload pictures and write entries for this blog but I kept loosing them before I got them published.  Internet woes in India.
We are now in gili meno enjoying the sunshine.  Check travelpod blog as I will be updating rest of news from Nepal and India here - sadly the days are passing too quickly and our adventure will soon end.

Trying to update...

Watch both blogs as I am finally having some success with updating our adventures.  My apologies!

We are in Warangal, India until Nov 30 as we participate in the course on Community Driven Development.  Our days are very busy!!!  We will post pictures soon.

Habitat build Oct 20 to Nov 1

We are in Pokhara, Nepal and can see the snow covered mountains from our build sites.  So far, the builds are going well.  The Canadian Team is building three homes in mud and stone then cement floor and block walls.  Nick and I are on different sites but both are progressing well.

Nick is explaining the last photo the meritsof buying the blue wheelbarrow.

Showing my Bayridge spirit...

Trek in Nepal

Here are some pictures from the trek.  The views were awesome!

A little rest and relaxation...

Nick and I arrived back to Hanoi today after two nights in Lan Ha bay.  A beautiful location!!

Beginning to get caught up...

The last two weeks have been great - please check both travelpod blog and this blog for updates!! These are pics from today - Nick buying pineapple and us at the temple in Hanoi.

In Derby - seeing the Rams today!

Happy to be in Derby with friends!  Going to a match today - go Rams!

And it is a sunny day in England!!  Life is great!  Thank you Trace and Terry!

Welcome back home!!

We arrived at Heathrow Airport - excellent flight!  The customs officer welcomed us back home after learning that we lived in England 10 years ago.  All has gone well so far and I am happy to report that I have carried my own pack!  We are on the train to Derby and thinking of mushy peas and chips!  A  shout out to Merissa as you were in my thoughts the first time i heard mind the gap!  I also loved seeing a random piano in St Pancras - with many travellers playing us a song!   Rowan would have liked this! As usual when traveling you see awesome sights.

Excited for the next part of the journey!

When the first day of school began this year, Nick and I enjoyed some camping and visiting with family!  It was awesome to be able to squeeze some extra days to enjoy the sunshine!

We are excited to begin our travels today!
