Pakistan, Dec 2012

Infamous Marriott, in the centre is the spot where 600kg bomb
exploded in 2008

When the Mosque was built, Americans
wanted to check if there were 4 missiles
there, or so the myth goes...

When one doesn't write for months, nobody reads...
Apologies (again)...
Since last post I have:

• visited India again;
• visited Bhutan again and bought a magic yak tooth necklace there;
• visited Pakistan for the first time (country number 41) and stayed in the all new/renovated room at the infamous Islamabad Marriott;
• got my driver's licence (!!!)
• bought a car;
• moved house so I live alone now (no cats...);

And tomorrow I am flying off to South America which will add countries to my collection!
42 Chile
43 Peru
44 Colombia
45 Mexico

Since my laptop decided to have a sabbatical, I will just be taking the ipad and will learn how to post from that... ;-)
See y'all on the road again! Now I have to pack!
