Thanks for a great Trip Report. I'm glad you returned safely. I'm going to go and read the full report next. I go on many solo travels as my wife doesn't want to go on those "adventurous" trips. I just shared a few details of your trip and the look on her face was priceless! It's always great to have a comparison - an "adventure" for some will be "normal" or "routine" for others. I visited Africa (Tanzania) for the first time as a solo traveler a couple of years ago and can't wait to go to a few other countries.

I admire your courage, calmness and ingenuity. Honestly, I'm also a little jealous of your travels!

Happy and safe travels - you know you can handle anything now that you survived this ordeal.
