Thanks for all your comments

SFflyer123 - I have some photos of the non-travel components of the trip but rarely take any photos of the actual travel. Part of this is because I'm often in countries where whipping your camera out is not advisable but frankly is mainly because I find that documenting the travel process by photo diminshes my enjoyment of it at the time. I can see how this might seem a bit selfish with respect to compiling a trip report for others to enjoy and have thought about including photos but as my enjoyment of other's reports is largely based on the effort they put into the words rather than photos I decided to focus on this.
