From the peaks of Ladakh
To a tent in an ammunition depot in the dark
Under a shady tree on a railway track in Binnaguri
To walking with a wild elephant in Bengdubi
Driving an imaginary bus in Karu
Sitting in the fog of Mirik lake with a view so true
Staring in wonder at the world’s largest brackish lake
In Glenarys, the world’s best bakery (according to me) eating a cheese cake
Going to Nepal for the day just to shop
On 280 kilometres of straight road in Rajasthan without stop
In the centre of India between the marble rocks
To run 15 steps into China I pull up my socks
With no electricity for 5 days in the lap of heaven
To learning to ride a horse at the age of eleven
Living in a bungalow opposite the place Snooker was invented
To seeing a Havelock sunrise on a hammock that was rented
Laughing at the sight of two donkeys at the gates of Pakistan
To the orange tree which through the year had fruit on it in Bhutan
In my life I have seen all this and more
Never will die my desire to travel, find and explore
