People
A trip of this length in so many sections involves a cast of thousands. On average I changed my set of friends about once every four weeks. (Anyone suggesting that this might be more to their benefit than mine can leave this site NOW !). This 'cast list is therefore likely to be incomplete. If I missed you, sorry.
The pictures on this page are uncaptioned because I figured ithat if you were there then you know who you are. If not then why would you care ?
If you were there but aren't on any of them that's just down to me not taking enough pictures. Sorry about that too.
