A little thank you (I'm getting soppy in me old age;)

Well I was gonna blog to you good people but my mood is mixed.... had one of those frustrating moments when you have to argue your corner (they were trying to charge me extra for a bus I'v already paid for) and are left feeling really bad.... the whole argument and (hopefully) sucessful avoidance of extra unnessacery charge left a bitter taste and made me feel bad and like a bit of a git (I think I let frustration get to me).... but anyway, I found this blog stat thing herer at blogspot which tells me which countriesmy blog page views come from... I copied and pasted it below... this is like a summary of my all time hits but some that don't make this lists include views from as far and wide as Pakistan and Slovenia... I don't know what they were looking for but they found this.... some of the viewing numbers are probably a bit squed by me checking that my posts have gone up and probably Mum and Dad checking the thing daily;) ... but it's nice to know people are taking an interest and are following my adventures through this tour... It's really nice to feel connected to important people back home... yesterday was a prime example... I had a raging hangover and wasn't having much of a merry christmas as I was in bed listening to Ricky Gervais podcasts most of the day... but then I had a skype call home... I saw My Mum, Dad, Nan, brothers, sister-in-laws and even my lovley cat  Suki (she feel....  through the ice of the pond recently, but thankfully she didn't get a cold:) it felt really great to see them and bought a lasting smile to my face.... I'm not looking for any sympathy, travelling is amazing and such an awesome oppertunity.... but it can be frustrating at times, and it's at those times it's really nice to know people at home are well and to  contact them even just a little bit... so instead of being too grumpy in this post I just want to say thanks for taking an interest in my travels and thanks to all those of you who take the time to send me messages... I really appreciate them... really! ... So maybe I will write more later if the sun shines on me some more and takes my frustrated mood away... but for now THANK YOU people, have a Merry Boxing Day:)      Pageviews by Countries
