DAY 449

Summer holidays and it's so hot in Delhi that it's hard to think of anything to do other than hole up in the air conditioning and go swimming. The boys have started building 'bases' in an attempt to pretend that they are somewhere other than in the flat.

DAY 448

We're all back in Delhi now, but here's one last photo of their trip. The boys are riding Jembo and Sunil is guiding them. Sunil and Jembo went with them for the whole three day trek ... the boys were very sad to say goodbye at the end.

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.
