Hi Dan. Yes, I think it would be possible if you are fit and start early. You can stop for lunch at Refuge A. Good luck!

Hi, Kate & Andrew!

I intend to climb the Olympus sometime between June, 15 and June,19 in just one day. with the night before spent in Lithoro. Please, tell me if that’s possible, because from your beautiful presentation I didn’t find out the total duration of the trip.
Thanks. Dan

Comment on from hurghada to aswan: what lies behind a smile by andrew

Yes, it really did take that long. It doesn’t look that far on a map, but the bus had somewhat of a “local” character. Consider alternatives.

Or how did you do this ?

Comment on the great underpants debate by Megan Mallen

Megan Mallen — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:22:23 +0000

I am pissing myself laughing at the debate (i know its old but whatever). We backpacked for 18 months and our email address resulted from our very own underwear debate. threepairsofjocks. Whenever i am asked for my email i also have to explain why it is what it is. Always gets a laugh though. Are you still travelling?

Comment on patrick mackerras and the battle of britain by robyn josephs

oh mr mackerras, he is too modest in the classroom about these achievements…he never even mentions it, and he has actually, although it pains me to say it as i did fail his subject, done something quite impressive. a first step forward in a marathon. hope he never traces this, i’ll never be able to look him in the eye again!

Glad to see you both are home safely. I was starting to get a little worried after Veggie Friendly wasn’t updated for a few weeks.

Gorgeous pictures of India and nice to read a bit more about your adventures there.

Thanks.

Comment on Kevin07 at the Taj Mahal: is the photo real? by Vijay

Vijay — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 18:22:07 +0000

Didn’t know about kevin rudd until we met in bangalore. anyways i’m all for someone who wants to get foreign troops out of iraq soon. right now so many ppl are getting killed, the withdrawal has got to be done fast.

looked at kevin’s website. under global outlook:
(2) implement a phased withdrawal of our combat troops from Iraq, in consultation with the Iraqi Government and our allies.
That’s great. Its got to be done soon.

But,
(4) stop the Howard Government’s plan to sell Australian uranium to India and take a stronger approach on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament.
That’s crazy. India already has nuclear weapons and enough enriched uranium. What’s the point of not selling fuel for electricity? How is that going to help anyone? The less india & china make nuclear-power, the more the demand for oil, the higher the price of oil. The only way to reduce everyone’s dependence on foreign oil and prevent the price of oil from sky-rocketing (& therefore help global economy) is to encourage those countries whose demand for oil is about to grow enormously (like india & china) to use nuclear power.
