on May 15, 2012Sad to see the always happy Nina slightly discouraged at the end of the journey. Probably completely forgotten by now. Take good care of yourselves, so that you grow old to look back at these beautiful photos with the knowledge that you lived your youth to the fullest extent, in a most impressive place on the globe.

on January 15, 2012Hell Danilo, you have done more interesting and demanding tramping and climbing in 2011 than most of us fit into a lifetime. Keep it up (safely!) and keep the awesome images coming. Dave
