Vero and Thomas' Travels
Hello and welcome!
This website is our on-going attempt at preserving and sharing our trips, all the wonderful impressions, the memorable moments and the odd opinionated observation, with friends, relatives or indeed anyone who is interested.
There is a blog and there are sections with photographs and further background information about the countries and regions we're currently visiting or have seen in the recent past (see Thomas' website for some assorted bits and pieces re our earlier trips between 2003 and 2009).
Recently, we have been crawling, once again, through the Nepalese mountains. We returned end of May, after three months in Nepal and two treks, a longer one in the Everest region and a short one into the Annapurna Sanctuary. Over the next weeks we will put a lot of stuff, words and photos as well as panoramas, online. So please check back regularly!
A few general questions you might have are perchance answered on the FAQs page. There is also a page with links to some interesting sites which we ourselves visit every now and then. Last but not least, if you want to get in touch, see the Contact page. We read all mails we receive (though not necessarily in a very speedily manner) and we appreciate any kind of feedback; however, we're especially keen to hear from you if you spot an error or an omission or if you have a suggestion.
A few notable things: every page has Path and Tags information at the very top. The Path link brings up a map of the section you're currently browsing; it is followed by the trail of pages that led to the current page. The Tags link opens a page with all defined tags, whereas the tag links themselves show an index page for that tag. Below these links is the main menu: its top level should work on all browsers but the submenus do require Javascript to be enabled in your browser. (If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer and the submenus look weird or out of place, please switch off the so-called “Compatibility” or “Quirks” mode. As the name implies, this mode cajoles even the most modern Microsoft browsers into behaving like their stone-age IE6 forefather. Sigh…)
Our multimedia stuff (ie slideshows, photo galleries, videos and podcasts) uses the Adobe Flash player (a truly execrable piece of software but — at least for the time being — the standard for these things). If you don't see what you think you should see please check whether your browser has a recent version of the Adobe Flash plug-in installed.
Have fun!
