Nice report that on Padam (India). I forgot that the only access to the Himalayas was NOT via Kathmandu and Nepal only. A great alternative to see this great mountainrange, beautifully reported.

ralph,

diving is definately good in the RP!
i didn't do Busuanga (Japanese wwII) or Palawan, but
i did at Panglao, Siquijor and Apo Island...

For the Visayas I can recommend the diving with Eriko Hoshi (Sea-Explorers, Panglao), Chito Cumaya (Dive Society, Negros) and Ronald van de Vooren (Sea-Explorers, Siquijor), the latter wrote a book about it:

Hi Ralph,

Thank you so much for reading my report on Table Mountain Cape Town. This article was written purely to try and give momentum to Andy’s plea to use the new mountain database. I hope the incentive motivates everybody else to enter the competition.

It is an article that I felt uncomfortable about writing because I did not have enough photographs of Cape Town and its environs to illustrate it as I would wish. So I am quite embarrassed but appreciate your very high rating and again thank you for it!

We stayed with family in Cape Town and most of the photo’s I took last year in my short visit are personal reminders of that visit. I try not to include myself or family in published pictures – but was really stuck this time and had to break the rule! Hence the picture outside that memorable restaurant “Le Petite Ferme”.

Thank you for taking the trouble to leave your comments and sign my page it does mean a lot to me. Finally as it is Christmas Eve, I do take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas.

Christmas Cheers! Brit.
