    it was a short climb in comparison to many. it is amazing though how those pennies just keep adding up in the basket.
    jack has 61 to go. his is always slow so you'll probably reach the tip before him. maybe you grab his shirt collar and yank him up.

    CONGRATS ON ADDING ANOTHER ONE TO THE DONE LIST!
    your last climb in this set!!!!
    [[[rushing off to see if there is anything else for you]]]]]

    ah yes.... you'll have VIRTUAL BUILDINGS, set 2 to conquer. whew....

        Congrats on the Aquaba Flagpole... am wondering if you put up a flag of your own, while you were there!

        Now it's your turn to interfere with broadcasts!

            Oh yeah, we're regular globetrotters here!

            Well done on finishing the Junglinster! Phew! Now I get the morning news on the radio again!

            Ahhhh... then that must be Jack I see in the distance ahead of me. I'll have to try to catch him up!

              Hello, all you globetrotters! Stopped briefly yesterday at flight level 3000
              (yep...I'm still on Everest.. ) - thought you might want to know whether I'd disappeared under the avalanches or something...

              Any-who, things are really starting to pick up - aside from yet more avalanches to scale.

              Lookie what I found!!!

                Hey Susan... really good to hear you're still climbing!
                Doesn't Everest just seem never-ending when you're climbing it? But you're getting there! Yippee! Looking forward to seeing you plant your flag on the top.

                I love your "find"!

                        Good climbing Jimmie! Now have a good time in France!

                        Sounds like Jack and I will be finished with Ukraine together then. After this one, I'll be changing "set". Where's Jack planning to go?

                          his climbing is slow, you might have to drag him on up to the top.
                          after Kiev Tower, he'll just go on to the next one on the list. that would be GRES-2 POWER STATION.

                            Am done with the Kiev Tower and with that, all the masts and chimneys etc.
                            Moving on to the final set of virtual buildings. I think I'll do these from first to last... which puts me on Cineworld, Renfrew Street, in Scotland, now.

                            I left a rope on the Kiev Tower, dangling down the last few flights for Jack to haul himself up with!
