First stop......INDIA !

---

well, first leg, what a place to start, nothing like being broken in gently....NOT ! India may be to some people's taste, but i'm afraid it was definately " not our cup of tea " as the old colonials might have said, two days after landing we'd decided to leave ASAP! Cue whistle stop tourist time, we came, we saw, we buggered off damn fast!!

From this view you can't see the shit.......you can still smell it though!!!!

Palace on the Lake
This was built by the Maharajah so he could keep cool in the summer.....Would have been cheaper to buy a fan if you ask us!!!

Where's Wally
As my interest is of Bolivia that is where first entered your journals, I back-tracked to find out where you originated, only to find the first entry was at India - dead end !! or did I miss something. Glad you liked Thailand, surprised you briefed over Malaysia, Maybe you should've tried Penang/Langkawi/KL, we are off to Sabah, Borneo in February this year(06),also Malasian to see OranUtans and Probiscus monkeys etc. Yes Perth and WA is nice (where we've lived for over 20 y). Barbara and I come from Bristol and I guess that you guys are from the UK ? Thanks for Good Blog.
