                    <description>I rose from my bed early Wednesday morning caught a bus into town connecting with the Fremantle train around 8 am when we arrived at Freo we went for a vegetarian breakfast at Dome. Unfortunately for us none of the museums were open yet so we visited the Round House first before moving on to the excellent Shipwreck Museum near the Marina which featured the wreck of the Batavia and then the equall</description>

                    <description>Departing Cervantes for the final mobile leg of our journey was a relief although a little bit more dangerous because with a long weekend beginning today hundreds more vehicles are on the roads exiting Perth one of which came very close to hitting us near Lancelin.Our first stop of today was at the Yanchep National Park there are a variety of activities here including caves and indigenous displa</description>

                    <description>It was time to leave Busselton not a bad town but full of ignorant drivers who dont give way to pedestrians and who have no idea how to use an indicator properly. We drove north towards Bunbury before joining the South Western Highway at the town of Harvey so many pretty towns but no where cheap to eat or drink.We passed through a number of similarly lovely towns as we travelled north toward Arm</description>

                    <description>Today we needed to pickup provisions from Woolworths and use McDonalds39 free wifi before setting off on the days activities. Our first stop was the Princess Royal Fortress which commands the main harbor of Albany the fort was built in 1893 after a prefederation agreement to share funding by the existing colonies. Britain supplied the armaments and the fort remained combat ready between 1895 </description>

                    <description>Soon after departing Duke of Orleans Bay we turned onto the road for Cape Le Grand National Park where we came across Esperances own version of Stonehenge a full scale version of the ancient English archeological site as it may have looked millenia ago. Not long after we arrived at the park entrance and I was happy to finally use the national parks pass which I arranged prior to departing Ade</description>

                    <description>Driving out of the Ceduna the last major town in South Australias west I had visions of an endless lifeless plain stretching west to the gold mining town of Norseman. How wrong can a person be apart from a short stretch around Yalata there was an abundance of trees and birdlife although we saw no animals until we visited Eucla. The South Australian stretch of the Nullarbor rewarded us </description>

                    <description>Ruth39s cousin Mark arrived in town a few days ago from the UK via Sydney and the Territory and will be joining us when we drive from Adelaide to Perth. This crossing has always loomed large on my bucket list so it seemed a great opportunity to hire a motorhome and take Mark with us across the Nullarbor to Perth. I picked up the motorhome after work Friday I cant believe they charge a credit c</description>

                    <title>Exploring India's Capital</title>
                    <description>Today we leave Agra which is certainly a relief as it is an awful city despite the fantastic sites in the region. The sky is thick with pollution which is all we would see that day as it permeates out from Delhi.  By 2pm we were navigating the lovely wide tree lined boulevards of New Delhi circling Connaught Place before arriving at our hotel not far from the train station in the alleyways of Ol</description>

                    <description>We awoke at 5.45am and our cereal eggs and toast arrived at 6 Ruth is still feeling unwell and waiting in the predawn cold didnt really help the Gypsy actually a jeep arrived at 6.45am and we clambered aboard to join the three Europeans already aboard. Just before departure one of the hotel staff came forward and handed us a blanket each which came in very handy as it was freezing in the b</description>

                    <description>Our room is great we have wonderful views a comfortable bed and probably the best shower I have had for some time.  Breakfast on the roof was simple but cheap the eggs on toast were suitable enough.   At 9.30am we clambered aboard a motor rickshaw and visited an ATM and a chemist so I could get some bandages to bind my injured wrist it was then off to the little village of Badi where an animal r</description>

                    <description>Our haveli is extremely nice and with it39s thick sandstone walls must be extremely cool in the desert summer heat it is almost like being in a cave. Unfortunately sound echos in caves so it was extremely noisy around 6.30am so we decided to get up and head for the roof for a hearty breakfast of omelettes toast and jam as the rising sun turned the walls and buttresses of Jaisalmers cast</description>

                    <description>We were packed up and on our way by 9am we planned a visit the Hawa Mahal the five story pink sandstone fairytale palace built by Maharajah Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799 to enable the royal ladies to see processions in the city without being seen.  Hawa Mahal means Wind Palace and to fully appreciate it we got ourselves a guide who told us a number of fascinating stories about eunuchs and secret pass</description>

                    <description>Twenty one kilometres down the Jaipur road from Fatehpur Sikri is the Keoladeo Ghana National Park another World Heritage site and a former hunting preserved turned National Park set up in 1982 to protect migrating birds some from as far away as Siberia. We hired a horse and cart at the entrance to take us into the park for around an hour and a half the cart was drawn by a native Marwari horse wh</description>

                    <title>The worlds most beautiful building</title>
                    <description>As we prepared to depart Bannerghatta I look back over our week here and feel some sadness that we are leaving. This was a pilot program and as such disorganised at times the accommodation wasnt perfect as we were confined to the lodge compound between 5.30pm and dawn which meant no visits to Bangalore or anywhere else for that matter in the evenings. The food was not bad and there was plenty</description>

                    <description>Its a cool morning and there is a light fog covering the ground after breakfast we were cleaning our teeth when the monkeys took up residence outside our front door I went out to move them along when the male attacked me and I had nothing but a mouth full of tooth paste so I spat it at him he was momentarily surprised but then he charged at me again I stood my ground and he backed off.It is</description>

                    <description>After ten hours sleep in a comfortable bed I awoke feeling refreshed a good hour before breakfast both Ruth and I are starving as we had not eaten since 3pm yesterday. Again I enjoyed the buffet breakfast eating a fair bit of the western foods but I also tried all the Indian selections as well although I wasnt overly impressed by any of them the omelette rocked though. I then went to the gym </description>

                    <description>Today I visited the World Heritage listed mosques scattered around the town of Bagerhat the drive was very scenic and the roads for the most part surprisingly good. Bangladesh is very clean and very green in comparison to India the roads are almost deserted and pollution is minimal.I visited the Shait Gumbad Mosque built in 1459 and the largest and most magnificent traditional mosque in Banglade</description>

I had arranged a pick up at the airport in Kolkata but when I arrived there was nobody there so I rang my contact who had forgotten me so I had a long wait a gentl</description>

                    <description>We left Aurangabad at 7am and it took seven hours to get to Mumbai not an overly interesting drive but I did see two guys and four goats on a motorcycle and what may have been a dead man on the roadside. The roads here are generally poor and incredibly dangerous fortunately I have only been in one accident in the two months I have been here and that was a motorbike we hit the other day not serio</description>

                    <description>On Saturday 3 March we made an early start as we hoped to complete the hundred kilometre drive to the World Heritage listed Ajanta Caves before the tour buses and the crowds arrived and thankfully the car park was almost empty.Although the crowds were thin on the ground we still had to force our way through the swarming touts which went a little bit like thisSir sir where are you fromSilence</description>
