Religeon in India. Hi Katie,
Without getting into the politics I think some understanding of the religion is of great use where you are.You probably know this means Hindu:
Vishnu The Preserver
Brahma The Creator
Shiva The Destroyer
As well as 2 million others,including our old favourite Ganesh who everybody loves.
Good Luck and keep on truckin'
Uncle Pete.
Mesmerising Mumbai You really seem to be enjoying Mumbai. In Marathi we call it Jiwaachi Mumbai Karne meaning Enjoying Mumbai to Your Heart's Content. It is really a mesmirising place. It is said that a person who comes here once is drawn again and again by its charm.
You are lucky that you could at least use the loo of the Taj. I was not allowed to enter the famous building due to security reasons.
Best of luck Hi Kate,
I've signed myself up for the notifications. Can't wait to hear all your news, it will make me very jealous as i sit here at my desk.
Best of luck with it all. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
Lots of love,
Tess xx
Good luck Katie! love and miss you and wish you a fantastic trip. I know you will discover so much and bring happiness wherever your bright eyes find themselves. Lucky them!
Hope its not too long before your travels bring you back to Cape Town. We still consider ourselves your home in some respects.
Lots of Love
Trevor

"Travel Passions" Katie,
I read your blog from Auntie Christine's e-mail.Travel has been extensively observed since time immemorial,but it's different for everyone and for every journey.
Firstly, the purpose should never be to run away,unless it has a healing purpose.
Secondly, it is often the case that although the traveller has had many and varied experiences abroad, which are not available at home. He/She returns to find friends have moved on, and maybe matured in a different way.
In fact Henry Miller proclaimed that the greatest journey an individual can take is the journey inward, and from what you say it seems your route is at least partly through travel.(All very Phsyco Babble)
I agree with you that your travels will be much richer with a bit of challenge and discomfort, as it forces you to take risks, and the sense of achievement is a pleasure. Luxury cushions you too much.
Finally, a quotation from Hilaire Belloc:
"I have wandered all my life, and I have also travelled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment".
Which is it for you?
In these days of Richard Dawkins and the like, I'm not sure it's PC to say it, but anyway
Godspeed, and have great time.
Love Uncle Pete
I'm off again.. but this time more of a 'proper' holiday.. with friends, and luggage on wheels and some luxury! This one is all about food and scuba diving!!
