I though I'd start this blog by giving everyone an idea on what everyday life is like for us, here in Cambodia. We shop at the supermarkets, eat in Pub Street, buy the occasional item or article of clothing in the markets, and pay tuk tuk drivers to get us around. The main currency here is the USD.

After months of research, the itinerary is set in stone and I am on the verge of departure for my second trip to India, this time with my sister Ginny. This isn't an organised tour, I have created our itinerary myself, visiting twelve fascinating destinations including Hampi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Orchha, and Khajuraho. We fly into Hyderabad in central Southern India and depart from Amritsar in the North. In between we'll have 35 days to enjoy all the colour and chaos India has to offer. We'll be sleeping on overnight trains, enjoying the luxury of travelling with private drivers for two section... full info

Hello Jackie and Jo.
How lovely to hear from you both! I dive on and devour any emails or comments from home, love to receive them. Glad you're reading my blog, a lot of time and effort goes into them. We're doing okay. I'm losing weight slowly but still have problems with the heat and dust. I'm enjoying the cycling, even in the chaotic traffic, it can be a challenge some days. Looking forward to Petra's (my daughter) arrival in 3 weeks and another 4 family members at the beginning of April. Hope you are both doing well. Are you dancing on tables yet Jo? I'm low with a head old but hope to shake it soon. Off to school today...we'll paint some more of the mural this morning. We don't paint in the afternoon, the sun is on the wall and it's too damn hot! Lovely to hear from you....I think of Toowoomba, the clean air and clean streets. I'll appreciate my home by the time I get back. Love to you both......Deb
