I will count that donkey ride as a very fond memory of many I have. Another was when our ballon basket turned over in the cow field upon landing! Wish I had digital camera to pass it along. That's what makes travel fun, when there is a thrill, or a glitch that turns out right (remember Ngaire with the taxi in China taking him to the top of a skyscraper to show him the ship?), or a new thrill, or even a moment with a local. So many things to enjoy with travel, even if it is just meeting new friends aboard with nary a travel experience!
