Hi to all of you who have chosen to read my travel blog. Although I haven't left Australia yet (9 weeks to go), I am busy kramming, learning about sites such as this..totally perfect to let my children and my friends know what I am getting up to... and educating myself on homeopathics vs vaccines etc, plus the monumental task of flights, accommodation, reading and researching places I will explore, travel visas and insurance. Let alone the housekeeping task of having chooks, goosy and my dog looked after while away. I am exhausted already. This is my first travel experience and while I know I ... full info

Vardi (Indian for Farm)
Interesting farm that actually cycled through manure from Gir cattle into worming compost farm to fertilise their Anolli plantation which in return halved their irrigation.
Holy Cow!
Cow with tika. Dharnsura street
Rotti for the holy cow!
What an experience to give a rotti to this cow. I always thought they scavenged and it was all words without actions. These people came out onto the street from their homes and fed a rotti and then touched the cows head for blessing
Dharnsura cotton vardi
Storing cotton bolls in the ceiling!!
Uttaryan Kite festival

Ahmedabad Dog catcher!
Yes I saw a dog being dragged along by the dog catcher. They definitely need more of those...on every street corner thanks.
Honest to goodness
Ahmedabad and anything goes... After long travels the food outlet Honest seemed a good place for a BURGER! If you see a very bright orange palm tree also, then I know I am not on drugs!!!
Choice is Choice!!
After so much Gujarati food it was great to hit Choice in Ahmedabad for a tasty (and yes spicy) club sandwich.
Men and Menndhi
I just loved this. They were so quick too.

Sonnelben's mamma. I cried when I realised who this old lady was.
