<< Previous - South America

After the adventure of Latin America, Europe was a welcome break. In Dartmore England, Brent tried to pet a wild(?) pony. We flew from Curacao to London, UK via Miami and bought a new VW van to tour Europe in.

The typical London photo in front of a palace guard. From the UK we went to Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, Luxumburg, Netherlands and Denmark...

...here Brent & Duane are asked by Barry to sacrafice themselves to the Swiss bull for a good photo. Brent's not to sure!

But he looks like he is enjoying the Swiss alps...

We returned to the UK from mainland Europe and sold the VW Van for the same price we paid for it. Then we flew to India. In India it was decided to be safest to hire a car and driver to take us around southern India. This is the driver with Brent & Duane.

Being wedged between the two humps of a Bactrian camel is not very comfortable (for the kids or the camel it seems)! Anything for a photo opportunity I guess.

Here Brent & Duane pose at the entrance to a temple. A religion that celebrates sexy women must be OK (see carvings)!

As temporary converts, Brent & Duane meditate on their adventures to date - or more likely are asked to pose by Barry!

Later they get a ride around the temple on the back of an Elephant.

Brent tried his hand at tea picking and considers his future potential in the business.

India by car, camel, elephant - and now why not rickshaw!

From India we took a boat to Penang Malaysia and toured Malaysia by car. On the East coast of Malaysia, boats of Vietnamese refugees were washing ashore nightly - and this was one we found on the beach one morning. So Brent & Duane explored it.

From Malaysia we took a train to Thailand. Here Brent & Duane pose infront of the palace doors in Bangkok.

This elephant is about to give Brent a fright. For a baby they are still pretty strong animals!

Ahh - more beautiful women with Brent & Duane - or is that for Barry's benefit?

A man with a python was offering the chance for people to put the python around their necks. Most people refused. However Barry was never one to pass down a photo opportunity. With the python slowly squeezing Brent & Duane together, Barry takes this photo and then notices the python-man collecting money from the Japanese tourists for the chance to take a photo of two white kids with a snake around their neck. he had to physically drag him back to remove the snake. During this time, Brent & Duane were getting increasingly agitated as you can see from Brent's face!
