Thirvanammali

Shivartri in Thirvanammili

These guys had the lemons sewn onto their bodies, I guess to prove that they are strong and brave like Lord Shiva

This is a Female Sadu who was at the temple reading palms.

Not sure why girls dress up as Shiva....???

Graduation day for the Chavs

Just received our qualifications.

Chavutti Thirumal Massage Course

I was a model for one of the courses and was so impressed that I done the course myself.

People were at first shocked at my size and the size of my feet. But as you can see it doesn't seem to be a problem. I haven't had any complaints so far.

My foot nearly covers the hole of this young ladies back.

As you can see the massage is better for the client if they are naked

Thailand (Ko Phang nang)

Our private beach...

Sunset from our beach huts.

Action shot taken from my bike, a bit risky but there you go.

My mate Toby getting ready for our dive. Do you think that he looks a little nervous?

Our beach side accommodation, not bad.

Chanatal Lake at 4500 Metres.

Bumped into this Russian guy camping along the route to Chanatal lake and stopped for coffee with him. For some reason he wasn't to keen to have his photo taken. Not sure why, he didn't speak English and I don't speak Russian.

Chandatal Lake, a beautiful setting but just getting my bag from the bike to the camp site was such an effort. The altitude was above 4500 metres and I had Altitude sickness.

These roads were so rough not only for the bike, but on my arse.

Landslides and more landslides. Just another day.

The road to Spiti Valley.

This is the Spiti Valley. It was so beautiful and at the same time a Barron desert. The thing that I will remember most is the clear night sky's and the stars. Stars like this I have only seen in books and on TV.

Just another obstacle to pass, this are common place and you get used to them. I gave up wearing my boots and wore crocs, getting wet boots in the cold mountains wasn't much fun.

This was my hotel for my first night and I was so grateful to find it. After driving all day in the rain and getting extremely cold it was like finding an oasis in the desert.

Me arriving and at the hotel above and very cold wet and hungery.
