Thank you so much for linking to me as it means I have now found your beautiful blog. I look forward to browsing through the archives, but I'm afraid I will have to set aside a rather large chunk of time to do so. I can't wait :)

You know, I think you should go there Peter. It was so relaxing but for the saga of finding anything resembling an internet cafe.

Thanks Michelle. I had the same problem with yours and ending up spending quite some time reading through your site.
