Absolutely incredible trip report. Epic. An instant classic. What more can one add to such a comprehensive report on travel to these destinations? Other than perhaps photographs, which I missed, despite the fact that the prose did a superb job of conjuring up images in one's head.

Thank you so much. Your report is priceless. I particularly appreciate it because I can tell that your perspective and taste is one that I would share and I think many others here would as well. This is a reason that Tripadvisor is next to useless for many of us....Credibility....
