Brilliant
Elizabeth, I have just caught up to date with all of your blogs. I started reading from the beginning a couple of weeks ago. I think your writing style is excellent, I love your sense of humour, keen observations, your optimism, and of course your subject matter! My favourite of which are the elephants and the chetas of Namibia. In my opinion, there are never too many photos particularly of bugs and animals. Please keep blogging and thank you for sharing. Cheers, Mimi

So excited now!
How pleased I was to stumble across your blog whilst looking for stuff about Udaipur. My wife and I9both in our 60's) will soon be in Udaipur after a few days in Mumbai. We will be in and around Udaipur for about 18 days. Just wanted to immerse ourselves in the place, people and culture. We will also be there during Diwali. We are so excited now especially after reading your blog and seeing the pics!! We will also op into the Lake View GH. Many thanks indeed!
