I thought I had posted this blog a while ago, apparently not, so I will just continue it. After our Cape Reinga adventure I went to bed and had an early night, only to be woken up by the loudest snoring you could possibly imagine. It was like some great monster and everyone in the room was woken up by it. So I decided staying in the same room as Tiggy was not a great idea after this! But in the morning, we went out on the Canoe with Nick and Rob. It was such a beautiful morning, all bright and sunny and we paddled around a bit and then jumped in the ocean. And we caught fish, and learnt some Maori stuff like sharing our spirits thought touching foreheads/noses together. And we (I say we, ... read more

I last wrote whilst in the midst of Holi festival in Anjuna. I then had a mad dash to my hotel, where i got more covered in lovely colour, and then to the airport. Everyone there wished me a "Happy Holi", except the check in guy who said, "You're gonna have to wash that off your face or they won't let you through security" He was obviously getting in to the spirit of things. My face was orange, which is only just off the shade my face generally is anyways! But anyway, I arrived in Mumbai to find some of Adi's Rellies' in the flat, and they invited me to join them for dinner. And then forced me to eat, and eat and eat. Well the result was the next day I had the shits again, ... read more

Have finally reached a computer, or at least made the effort to walk to a computer place! I've been in Goa since last friday, but here is the low down on what I've been up to since Baroda. Adi's mum arranged for me to be looked after in Mumbai, the housekeeper/office worker called Zup Singh collected me from the train station and took me back to the flat for amazing food. Then I went to the office and met Mr Johnson my Mumbai guide. He took us to a museum where they almost confiscated my sun cream as a suspect liquid or something. We then saw the Taj Hotel and Cafe Leopolds and the gateway to india. it was nice to get some kind of understanding of the layout of the main touristy areas, for I ... read more

It has been raised that it comes across in my previous blogs that I don't seem to be enjoying my experiences here in India. This is not the case. I'm having an Amazing time! I just like to share everything thats happening, and it can seem like i'm complaining alot, but seriously, things are awesome. The following shares my experiences of the last few days...... We set off from Jaipur to Bharatpur pretty early on friday 13th, the less said about the bus journey, the better. But lets just say we were very (very, very) happy to arrive at the haven we were staying at near the Keoladeo Bird sanctuary in Bharatpur. Can't remember the name of the place but it was something like Birder's inn jungle Lodge. It really was a beautiful place and just ... read more

So as you can see, I am in the most romantic city in India and apaz, one of the most romantic in the world. I mean, what isn't romantic about dodging cow dung, the millions of motorbikes and drifting off to sleep to the sound of millions of nocternal K9s scrapping outside? haha. actually it is a very nice place. once again people are really friendly, and love my hat. :-) But wait, I've skipped ahead a few days, so lets go back to Jaisalmer... We arrived in Jodhapur which lets face it, is a pretty bleak, polluted concrete city. I didn't really like it here, we got auto-rickshaws(tuktuks) about the place, and each time you had to cover your face to stop being fumagated. Not so pleasant. It is known as the blue city and ... read more
