Looking Back
It had been a holiday of extremes.
Altitude, temperature, bleakness, beauty, exhaustion and spirituality: all had played their parts.
We visited a far-away, alien culture and were greeted with friendly innocence and hospitality.
It was a truly amazing experience which I will never forget.

I think we took the journey with you. And it was wonderful.

Thoroughly enjoyed this journey from the comfort of my home! The view of the snow-covered mountains still continues to elicit a catch of breath.

The sight of snow and mountains still induces a major frisson of excitement in me.
Having grown up in London, I can never really become blasé about them!
