Well its been a few days since my last blog entry, and I've been pretty busy, trying (and failing) to haggle with numerous stall holders in lovely Jaisalmer. I managed to buy myself a scarf which you will see when I've got some more time to upload some pics. and generally had good times mixing with the locals and eating lovely Indian cuisine! Yesterday we went on our camel safari, which was great. bloomin painful, I'm not sure any of us managed to get tyhrough the experience without bruises...especially the guys, i'm sure you can imagine what i'm on about.

Well, here goes my first blog from another country! I've now been in India for just over 2 days but it feels so long since I left the UK.

Well, after months and months of ummm-ing and ahhh-ing over what to do, where to go and such like, I finally made a decision (can hear the cheering). My flight to India heads off on the 29th of Jan and then I'm gonna be doing the 'Intrepid' - 'North India Unplugged' tour from Delhi to Kolkata. Then I have a few weeks to travel round India before flying out from Mumbai on Friday 13th of March. From there, I head to New Zealand where I shall be making my way to South Island over the course of 5 weeks before flying to Melbourne. From there I head up to Cairns (takin about 7 weeks) to get my flight across to Singapore and then Thailand where and I'll be spending 7 weeks travelling round South East ... read more
