We left Guilin for Hong Kong, and I think both of us were looking forward to five start hotels, even though we loved the boutique hotel of Yangshau and we …

Hi Dan and Sally,
Great to hear your having a good time!!
Love the russian porridge by the way, and looking at that 'doggie threesome' picture, you could amount that to pure rape from looking at that other dogs expression - were the russion police called!!!
Anyway, keep trucking...
Love, Nick, Lou, Noah, and Martha xxx

I loved St Petersburg - so beautiful yet such a sad history too. No doubt you enjoyed the Hermitage. Now to your sighting of Piglet - who knows, your sighting could be The Pig himself. He was last seen many years ago atop my backpack while hiking along the coast in Victoria. Then he either 1. jumped to explore the coast solo (preferred senario) or 2. fell and became warren padding for a local fox (not so much the preferred senario. Looks like it was senario 1 though & after seeing all to be seen in Victoria he's headed back to St Petersburg (maybe his favourite spot from his Scandi/Russia adventure in 2003/4?!)
xx ps yes - have been to Nepal..trekked the Annapurna Circuit for 3 weeks
