Like the author standing still, as he gazes on Esztergom, hesitant to plunge onto Hungary, I am hesitant too, to be over with A Time Of Gifts for now.
I will finish on the night of 10 September, 3rd year anniversary of my second night anniversary in Srinagar, when I was up deep into to the night listening to music and soaking in the luxure and coziness of my hotel room, finding it hard to believe I was there.

Ah, the nigh end of one of the most wonderful books I will ever read; I take comfort in there being two following sequels and a corpus of Leigh Fermor's works left for me to yet delight in.
O' Paddy, if only you could also be my Pipps Schey.

Reading with exceeding delight, but like a sloth, accompanied by Google Earth, Leigh Fermor's Biography and Nick Hunt's account of him retracing Paddy's footsteps, but in 2014.
