Wow
Quite a change from Eastern Europe when I last caught up with your travels. Sylvia and I are back from our trip to the UK. Slowly getting caught up with the blog. Last time I contacted you, I mentioned two friends of ours who were travelling E. Europe also and suggested you might meet them. Strangely enough, we were travelling in a motorhome around the UK in August and did bump in to them in a campsite near Brighton. Neither of us knew the other was staying there until the day we left to return the motorhome. Small world!. Enjoy the rest of your travels. John.

We noticed you'd been in the UK - whilst we were somewhere else! Sorry to have missed you. India has blown our minds! David and Janice

How fantastic to attend a wedding!
An amazing sunset. Your photography is excellent. Sounds like Mike knows half the country. Always good to travel with a well connected friend or family member. Love the stories. Great, great writing as always.

Hi Lili, You might realise, Mike is a professional i the Travel business, having worked at very senior level for a major UK Travel Company in his day. We've grown to know each other in recent years, though I'm nine years his senior. (hence the little brother) It's the people of India we shall remember, the colour, the aromas and the culture. I'm getting Mike's bad habits; we've been three weeks in France and a week in Wales since India and I have yet to write as word. Life in retirement is hectic for us. Long may you continue to enjoy my ramblings and long may you keep travelling yourself! David
