Travel is sometimes a paradoxical experience


On arriving in La Paz which has a population of 1 million people, we are awestruck by the sight we see when we travel through the outskirts of the city and then arrive at a mountain top which overlooks the concentrated city below. It is pure magic and our heads become light headed from both the altitude and the view.

However, when we reach our hotel and check in with cyber world we receive news of a loved one back home who is not well and has been taken to hospital. We are grateful to our wonderful family who are going the extra mile to provide love and support whilst we are so very far away.

Travel is great to experience. The sights, sounds and cultures are always so great. But sometimes it is only when you are away, that you truly value family and friends and the stretch of land and sea that divide us from hugs, kisses and reassuring words and deeds bring home the importance of letting people know you love and care for them

Good night to our loved ones and special thoughts and best wishes to you all - and Jean for a speedy recovery.xx
