They made it to the snow! At the foot of the Indrahar Pass - 3400 metres.

DAY 446

One more from Bangkok and then I'll let the boys take the limelight again ... love these zebras. No sign of any protests by the way - it was very much business as usual as far as I could see. Even the curfew didn't seem to be being taken very seriously.

DAY 445

Meanwhile I'm in ... Bangkok (!) for a two day meeting. So lovely to be back there. I stayed in Siam Square but made it down to Sukhumwit one evening. It has changed a lot but it will always feel like coming home.

DAY 444

Ed and the boys are near McLeod Ganj where we went last June. This time they've walked / ridden up to a place called Triund, near the snow line - 2875 metres up.

DAY 443

While I have been continuing my ridiculous tour of Asian cities with a trip to Hyderabad, Ed and the boys have headed for the hills. Ed was very keen that I include this photo of a packet of crisps, perfectly illustrating the effects of high altitude and low pressure (?) on things packed lower down on the plains. Doubles as a pillow when times get tough.

DAY 442

This matchbox says 'My India' at the top (India written phonetically in Hindi, as opposed to the Hindi name for India - Bharat) and at the bottom, slightly oddly, it says 'big size' even though the matches are quite small.

DAY 441

Bike shop #12. He's selling various different types of fruit. I particularly like the umbrella attachment - very important given the 45 degree heat we've got at the moment.
