A weekend getaway to Coorg, west of Bangalore in the lush green Western Ghats

Second part of the day in Hampi

A fantastic day seeing the incredible rock city of Hampi in northwest Karnakata, India

Today was enjoyable and a bit random: Julian are I were invited to a wedding function! Of course, how could I say no?

After a long flights, some India. And Julian.

A few days of exploring Eastern Washington, hiking and peering at spring wildflowers

Another visit, with a mezcal tour, caves, and food of course

Last day. A pleasant start to a relaxed and hot day, finishing the GR20 in Conca.

A long and hot day; I cut it short when I see a spectacular mountain ridge.

A bright shiny day scares the grumpies away! Except for the tedious ridgeline, a good long day.

An early start, a soggy ending, a sad refuge

Back on the GR20 today--a half day from Vizzanova on the sourthern section of the GR20.

Four days of relaxation at a villa by the sea, and a couple of road trips to the rugged northwest coast of Corsica and a visit to Bonifacio.

I wanted a nice relaxing day, so I pushed it hard and combined two day's walking into one.

The tough day wasn't quite all that, and we enjoyed walking along the ridgeline in perfectly fine weather and the fantastic views.

Another fine day along the GR20 -- and the 'easest day' so far.

A much longer day than expected. More 'moderate" than "easy"

A wonderful and exhausting day up and over the high point of the GR20, through snow and scree, and a wonderful refuge at the end.

Sun came out! A great hike over to the Haut Asco ski area.

A hard half day walk to the Refuge

A very long transition day

A wonderfully sunny day for getting out and about, with a visit to Kew Gardens.

Off to London on the way to Corsica

A big charismatic megafauna day ends up meh, and onto Brunei.

A moderate hike in the morning. Afternoon flight to Sandakar.
