Despite the fact that (with my apologies) the site is about as patchy as the avaliability of internet to fix it, justhost are recordingover 10,000 hits a month without any listing on the major search engines.

So yeah, apologies. Upcoming or already here are the photos you missed from Cuba & Burma, some from Nepal and the Everest region as well as Palestinian refugee camps in Syria and Lebanon, the journey of Shiela, and a whole heap more.
Along with that you will be treated to (in one whole heap it would seem) all that has been going on.
In the slightly distant future, a chat with the Free Burma Rangers, pictures from Israeli occupied Palestine, trekking in Jordan and maybe, just maybe Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

[NEW] latest stats:here, eyes right:latest shots, below:everything else, lost:search

I have just broken my 5th ""indestructible"" camera. According to Olympus the thing should be able to survive 10m of water, -25 Celsius, a drop of 5m and being sat on, but not, alas, me.

Jumping off a bridge it seems, is too much for it...

In Italy, for girls, it's dangerous, but in Lebanon, it's OK.
