Can't keep still

I'm heading off again - on Monday, Carrie & I fly back to Trinidad. We're only going to be there for 2 weeks, but Carrie's going to be doing some work with the people she was volunteering with before my accident interrupted it all.

My knee is doing much better now, thanks for asking. NHS has been, frankly, wonderful. Next time you're sitting in a waiting room, just think what we in the UK get, and take for granted - for free. I'm now walking around without a stick, just a bit slow at the moment. Can't think of a better way to build the muscles up than wandering round the world.

So we're resuming our round-the-world trip. We've had to shorten the time we're spending in some places, and I shan't be trekking up Machhu Pichu this year, but we're still going to do it. We're dead chuffed - this seemed like it was never going to happen when I was having knee-surgery in January.

From Trinidad, it's on to Chile (no mountains for me - just coast and vinyards). Then Easter Island; Tahiti; New Zealand (22nd May - 11th June, in case anyone wants to meet up); Malaysia (where Carrie hopes to be volunteering 1 month near KL then 1 month in Miri (on Borneo)); Hong Kong; and finally Namibia (more volunteering).

We'll be back mid-November - see you then! Or come out and see us - Malaysia or Namibia are where we're spending most time.
