That has been what delayed my ‘I’m back home’ post, and then essays and deadlines delayed that…..and now I’m incredibly behind! So I’m just going to use some photos to describe the end of my trip.

I find it very hard to write in internet cafes. hence the slowness. I’m sure everyone who used read this has given up on me by now anyway. Oh well, I’ll carry on alone here. Only a few more entries then I’m finished!!
