Sunday arrived in true Sunday fashion, with a stinking hangover after frequenting the Stone Water Grill, in Koreagan Park, yep you guessed, over done it again!

So I got the phone call that everyone was down stairs waiting on me so off I set. I thought, well its my last weekend so why not go all out, off on the road again on the bikes. I am glad we got the Scooter this time as it was comfier and my backside felt quite bruised at this point from all the bumps we had gone over on these roads the day before.

Again the culture was different with all sorts of stalls and brick-a-brack stalls all assembled up the roadside, and I have got to say a long way across the city, it took us around 2 hours to get across the city in that traffic and that was on bikes, you would need all day in a car!!

We arrived at the Zoo and this place was amazing with all sorts of creatures, things I would probably never dream of seeing like Cobra, White Tigers and Indian Elephants.

After seeing all the different sights at the Zoo we decided to travel a bit further to the Corinthians Oriental Bar where I got Scrumpy Jack for 70 rupees a pint, absolute bargain, this place is outside Hardapsar if you want you know lol.

After a couple of pints we headed back to the Apartments to enjoy some English Football and a few pints, a fantastic end to a fantastic weekend and one I will not forget.

Thank you to the lads: Rakesh, Sunny, KK, Suraj and Ajay to treating me to a fantastic experience here in India and making me feel like I am already Indian on my last weekend here in a beautiful country. I will miss you guys terribly................................

A little about us: We both work in Learning and Development for British Gas in Stockport and Leicester. When we were this opportunity at the end of April 2012, we were ecstatic at the chance of going to experience a whole different culture, well for me anyway LOL! I am could not wait to get there, do a "Stirling Job" and enjoy myself. Which is exactly what I did, as you will see. You will find me doing things you will least expect. I enjoy & love my life and everything about it. Its better to stay away from negativity or else, by the time we realise its too late... Almost... full info

Nice
Hi, i liked the way you have put so many photos in your post. This post is even more special to me as I am from the same city and used to live around 5 kms away from the zoo. Unfortunately I dont live in India anymore and I have relived my city once again because of this post. Thank you for this. This means so much to me.
