We have recently been hit by an attack of Le Artistique. I blame the extraordinary colours of autumn in Japan … and the surrounding hordes of Chinese tour groups laden down with photographic equipment – we are still nothing if not competitive!

Hmmm, a pretty varied part of the world this one: fat bottomed sheep, buddhas (well, maybe some similarities there I guess), sand dunes, pilgrims and Mt Everest. It’s crazy to think we saw all of these within the space of 3-4 weeks!!
In all the excitement recently, I have completely forgotten to post up the various background pictures that have been adorning the top of our website over the last few weeks. The purpose of sticking these up was to serve as a high level / retrospective summary of our route (as well as the usual ooh-pretty-pictures reasons) so here you are.
I have also rediscovered the “random header” function on the blog, which I will turn on for the next few days. This should allow you to see a different header image from some point along the road every time you refresh your browser (and hopefully won’t crash our server). Enjoy!
Flying Visit to Beijing
Start of the Silk Road in Turkmenistan
Architectural Overload in Uzbekistan
And as a special treat, a few that we haven’t (technically) got to yet…
Nothing to see here – please move along. Everything is completely normal. Please do not adjust your eyes.
Apologies for posting these slightly out of sequence – we got caught up in the excitement of Vanuatu (OK, and getting clean again after Vanuatu) and forgot to explain what all the pictures across the top of the blog were.
…as if our “caption competition” explanations ever clarify anything…!
And so we move on to the Sepik River, home of ancient customs, sacred taboos and the world’s most bad ass dugout canoes…
Easter Island – home of stone heads, quad bikes and the best ice cream shop in that particular stretch of the Pacific Ocean!
The Salar de Uyuni. No fun AT ALL to get to; has to be seen to be believed.
We have gone slightly background crazy in the Galapagos – no doubt helped by the extraordinarily large number of photographs we have taken. Let’s just say: if in doubt, go to the islands and see for yourself.
