@Chap Very nice. Of course I had to google goshuin. This forum is a learning experience in many ways.

Thank you Sam and sorry, I should have explained.

Goshuin are stamps, handwritten Kanji and symbols done by monks. Usually you have a book where you collect them. It's a kind of proof that you have visited a specific temple or shrine.

Off to Germany‘s most northern island on Saturday. Packing as an IH addict (wife)

@Chap I loved collecting these on my trip too! - I have a half-full book! - naturally I'll have to go back and collect more to complete the pages!!

I'll upload some photos of mine soon - these are stunning!

@Giles doesn’t this go in breakfast of the champions?

We do this walk every time we come to Paros. What photos can't capture is the smell, wonderful....

Abandoned olive grove:

This olive had a trunk a good 6 feet in diameter, just a few years old then

@Giles How many people have done the same walk over the millennia?

A few.....

Thinking about going back to Nepal again this winter to trek the Manaslu circuit. Will be using Bangkok as a hub so will probably spend some time in Thailand as well. My wife has no desire to climb mountains on a holiday and would rather explore Vietnam and Laos. Will probably meet her in Laos for a couple of weeks once we get the logistics and itinerary figured out. Exciting times!

@Denman-John excited to ride along here and happy you’re heading back!

@SKT Thanks Sean. I haven’t booked my ticket yet as we are still trying to figure out the details. I hoping to be there at the beginning of December and stay for a month. After that, hopefully somewhere warm where I can thaw out and wiggle my toes in the sand.
