February 19… After the morning safari, I took a car from Sasan Gir back to Junagadh to catch the train to Ahmedabad. The train departed exactly on time (first time that’s happened here), and I travelled in AC2 class – no one else in the compartment for the first few hours, which was nice. In Rajkot, this lovely older Indian couple arrived to share the compartment. He was a businessman, she a retired politician at the Gujarati state level, I think and they were headed to Ahmedabad for a conference the next day. They were so helpful at Ahmedabad, making sure the tuk-tuk driver was giving me a fair price for the ride to the hotel – too cute! February 20… It was a travel day today, as I flew from Ahmedabad to Chennai with IndiGo ... read more

After 3 hours of painstakingly downloading photos there was a power cut, now several hours later I'm trying again!!! Hallelujah, I think it's worked!! If we get lucky again pictures of India may follow. Just enjoyed a few days relaxing at Fort Kochi, and on the backwaters. Tomorrow we are off on the ferry and train to Alleppey further down the Kerala coast.... read more

V noci zas tie kurvy utocili ale uz menej. Rano som sa chcel oholit,zistene,ze som v KL nechal ziletky. Domov teda dojdem riadne zarasteny ale asi si radsej kupim neake to nadobicko tu. Uplny debil som, nechapem ako som to tam mohol zabudnut. Batoh som nechal na recepcii,zobral krabicu s vecami a siel na postu. Posta cca 300m od ubytka na juh. Krabica vazila 5,6kg,tak som vybral igeliku s roznymi vstupenkami a inymi papiermi a hned to kleslo na 4,6kg. Plan bol pozicat si lepiacu pasku a poslat to tak. Lenze takto to tu nefunguje,vraj musia byt baliky zabalene este v zvlast plachte (mozno nemusia,len ma postarka natiahla a dala zarobit svojmu kumpanovy). Tak ma poslala mimo postu,mam ist do obchodu kde sa robi laundry. Vysiel som teda z posty doprava ,hned prva odpocka doprava (smer ... read more

Este vcera som si zamenil 40r za 680 rupi,filipinske pesa podla predpokladov nechceli. Najskor som skusil zrejme sukromnika na menenie ale daval zly kurz,tak som nasledoval ostatnych ludi a zamenil to pri pultiku federalnej banky,kde bol omnoho vyhodnejsi kurz. O 5/30 som sa dolamany vybral najst mhd do mesta. Pri opustany letiskovej haly ma zastavili vojaci,vraj kam som sa vybral.Musel som im ukazt pas a letenku. Nechapali,ze som pristal pred 6 hodinami a letisko opustam az teraz. No aspon ma zhruba navigovali k bus zastavke.Ta sa nachadza pri parkovisku medzi domestic a international terminalom. Security vonku bezproblemov naviguju ak sa clovek opyta. Do fort cochin a mg road ide prvy bus o 6/30. Po pristaveny oranzoveho busu c.621 vodic najskor odbehol na kavu,potom sa vratil a mohlo sa nastupovat. Moc ludi neslo z letiska,zhruba 7 ludi ... read more
