Hey Tom, Am so sad to not be able to catch up with you. had some very nice month here in Nigeria, actually Lagos. And i sort of happened to have something similar to your exerpience in Ghana. That is probably, what kept me here so long. Anyway, I will be going to Cameroon tomorrow and finally fly back from there towards the end of May. Maybe I will pick up from there later in my life, maybe not. I wish you all the best, say hey to betty and hope to see some other day...

Hey Tom - I'm the kiwi you met at Mole in Ghana - what's happened - your site seems to indicate you're back in London, but the last diary entry I can find is from Cameroon on Dec 16, and I can't find any of the Nigerian stuff I saw previously. Looking forward to hearing how you got on.

Tom, Hattie and I reunited in Yosemite in July where we shlepped heavy packs over tall mountain passes for no good reason. Much fun despite not being able to walk down stairs for about a week after the trip. We missed your smiling face but made snarky comments about the swarms of national park tourists in your honor. Hope you're well.
