Well, I'm writing this on the train from Paris to Noramandy. Another whirlwind three and a half days have come to an end here in Paris. I was happy to go to Paris because I don't have any decent photos of the place. I've passed through a couple of times in 2006 and 2011 but …
Well, tomorrow I leave Moscow for London. It's been an incredible time since I left Beijing a little over two weeks ago. It's been another whirlwind trip, but it's still going. However, I hope to slow the pace down in London because everyday is either travel or packed with things to see and do. And …

So, we had one full day in Dhaka, and the next day it was time to take the ferry south to Bhola Island. We got up to a few things on that day – more on those on the Dhaka post coming in a couple of weeks. But it was to Bhola we headed on …
