And yes we met some of the kids in the old photographs who now have their own children.<br />Remind me to tell you one day about my own efforts to build a dugout canoe during a stay on Groote Eylandt.<br />Royromseys@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514422454057409496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310578015477094974.post-59581914303528592392013-05-21T02:22:57.952+00:002013-05-21T02:22:57.952+00:00Am I repeating myself when I write that I envy you...Am I repeating myself when I write that I envy your travels as a youth and your capacity to note changes over the years? Are you by chance a blood relative of Michael Palin of train travel fame?<br />Having suffered from a numb bum from canoes I enjoyed immensely your account of time on the water. a description that guide books gloss over. These boats are indeed fragile, one beside us in the Philippines smashing into many pieces on hitting a rock in the rapids. Our guide's comments, "He buggered!" referred to the owner's lack of income for the following month or two in building a new boat and not his being swept downriver in the white water. A question, however, about the headmaster. Was he getting sizzled at the bar, sozzled at the bar or perhaps both in view of his impending return to duty?<br />Yet a further question. When sharing older photographs did you by chance meet with locals you stayed with all those years ago and/or did those you shared with know those in the original shots?<br />Roy and Jean, keep on with these stories. They are not only interesting but highly motivational to those considering further travel.Bob Martinhttp://bigpond.comnoreply@blogger.com
