Hello there! So its been longer than normal since I've written a blog, mainly due to us absoultely loving Pokhara and therfore staying longer! After I wrote in Varanasi, we travelled for two days to get to Pokhara. One day on the bus to the Nepal border, then we slept on the border and then the next day we got on another bus to Pokhara. Both bus journeys were about 10 hours or so. The bus they put us on in Nepal was definately no Tourist bus, it was a local government bus! But to be honest it wasnt too bad, [View Full Entry]

Hell there! So tonight will be our fourth night in Varanasi and I think I'm going to have a bit of trouble describing it well...but i'll do my best. We got a train from Agra to Varanasi and that train journey really sucked for me, was feeling really ill and barely got any sleep, was o happy to get off the train. We got to Varanasi in the morning and the rickshaw driver took us to his hotel, it was decent enough, the main thing we wanted was a tv this time, because the community shield was on ina couple days [View Full Entry]

Hello there! SO we've been in Pushkar for 5 nights now and its been fantastic, such a great change from the madness of Mumbai!The first full day we had in Pushkar, we headed straight down to the famous lake, where all the Ghats are. In these Ghats, people come from near and far to bathe and cleanse themselves. As soon as we got down to the first Ghat, we got approched by 'holy people', we had heard before some are not so 'holy' and do a blessing for you then make you pay stupid amounts of money so naturally we were [View Full Entry]

Hello there! So from Hampi, we had a train to Goa...which got cancelled so frantically we had to arrange something else! So 4 buses and two trains later we got to Anjuna Beach, Goa! We had heard that Goa was a bit of a Ghost town as we were there in 'off season' and Anjuna Beach definately was, there was nothing going on, but to be fair we were cool with having the whole beach to ourselves! Well i say the whole beach, there were constantly Indian girls trying to sell us bracelets and things whenever we hit the beach. At [View Full Entry]
