I decided to write a travel diary of the journey, which became one of 8 that I wrote between 2001 to 2010. (You can see the others in the writing menu above).<br \/><br \/>After this particular diary I created a slideshow from the photos. Unfortunately over the decades the format the slideshow was in (Flash) became almost obsolete. So tonight, rather than get on with the things I was supposed to be doing, I decided to rebuild and create a video version. I also changed the audio track to a version of the original song I&#8217;d used previously, which was Elvis\u2019 \u201cFor The Good Times\u201d, to one I\u2019d done about 10 years ago when mucking about with some karaoke disks I had.<br \/><br \/>Anyway, if you\u2019ve got 3 minutes to spare please have a look, and if you\u2019ve got hours to spare maybe check out the travel diaries.
