@ Jungle Mom, you came through again! I knew you would and I was thinking of you when I wrote that bit about a boat on a jungle river 😉
Thanks for the links — I’ll check them out this weekend. I know I’ll enjoy them.

@ Aledys Ver, in Holland it is possible to manage without a car. Have you taken to the bike yet? Wish I were with you when cruising all over Argentina in your car there. Sounds great!

@ Anna Y: I think I’ve seen your old Russian car in Armenia 😉

@ Lady Fi, I think we should all go back to little old tin cans! Well, maybe not, but the memories are good.

@ Mary Witzl, yours is one of those stories that is so much better once it is all over and done with! No more trouble I hope!

@ Braja! A boat on the Ganges! Not too many can say that!
