Hi Trent,
Do you recall meeting me in a town close to the border between China and Nepal? i was the person you came to visit in the disgusting hospital.
You may recall we both knew Paul Jens (Torquay). I was pretty crook but not close enough to death to stay in the hospital for more than a day. I made it through the border next day but was totally exhausted and very sick. I actually had tumours on my my thyroid ( but that was never going to be diagnosed in the horror hospital in China). Alls well that ends well. Was operated on in Melbourne, have almost completely recovered for my my Bangkok to Hanoi trip which I intend to take later this year. Thanks for dropping in to see me.
Best,

Declan Ryan

what an awesome journey you’ve had so far – never feel you’re cutting it short of not doing ‘enough’ because it’s what worked out exactly as you thought it would – it’s an amazing accomplishment!

Hope to see you both over Summer x

TC, I was a little worried your tale would end up with a gang of gawkers pushing you off your bike, running away, pulling it apart and selling the spare parts. Hope you got some some satisfaction from the confrontations and that Nic coped ok in the end.

Beth and I went to a yoga retreat in the Daintree towards the end of December and they were big on meditiation there. Perhaps a good place for you and Nic to unwind when you get back to Aus. Ohmmm…

Hey Trent

First time reading the blog. What an interesting and entertaining read. And I have only read the last month. Look forward to reading about the experience riding through the himalayas. The cool wx should be good for the uphills but not so sure about the windchill when riding downhill.

Cheers,
Ed

it’s like india is the straight cordial and nepal is the diluted version that’s so much easier to drink, isn’t it?

have fun!

Classic TC. Thank god for Nic hey, missing out on the tall Montenegrons would have been a shocker. I think they do alright at basketball too. Great update mate, my favourite so far.

And the AFL grand final was a classic!

Hey Trent and Nic,
Wow – I think meditation would be really good to pick up for you
I have never experienced India that negatively, although I have to say that India tested my nerves as well. But the men were never rude. I hope for you that the rest of your Indian experience will be less stressful. I’ve never been to Delhi, and even though the rest of your trip won’t be a stroll in the park, there is hope that your situation will improve. All the best and lots of strength (and patience, my dear Trent) to you. Heike
