Morsomt å "følge" deg på veien. Nesten like morsomt som å ha deg med på timene mine en gang i tida :D Du er en stayer og en fighter, så jeg gleder meg bare til å kunne gratulere med fullført tur etterhvert!

Håper det går bedre med deg og at du får hvilt hele kroppen. Gjør ting som gir deg ny energi, slik at avslutningen på turen blir bra :-) Hei Robert!

I am sorry to hear about the unfortunate broken toe. I am impressed and inspired by your handling of it. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery. Bruce Hi Robert,

I have been following your walk since first reading about it in the China Daily three months ago. I am sorry to hear about the unfortunate broken toe. I am impressed and inspired by your handling of it. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

Your Chinese Wall walk would be even more impressive if you could do something similar until your toe heals (although I've no idea how to carry a rucksack while walking on your hands). At least you would get a completely different perspective on the wall! Though, quite frankly, four weeks more rest/vacation sounds sensible, I don't think you have an all too tight schedule the coming year? Take (better) care.
