They even checked every page of a time magazine i had i8n my bag. I guess they where looking to see if the dahli lama popped up. The baron terrane was like a lunar landscape from the plane what a shame i couldnt get here. Our 2nd stop over was in Che http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Shanghai/blog-369952.html Nepal. I was finally here but what a state i was in. I had been ready to leave India for a while and Nepal felt like the right place to be. Suprised by the lack of mountains on the start of my journey from the boarder to Kathmandu i sat back on the crampt local bus and chatted to some indians. The foot hills started to appear in the distance as we stopped to eat and as we departed the bus i co http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/blog-358159.html I woke up in Agra to find the bus had stopped i looked into the isle and i was the only person left on board. I quickly jumped off the bus to find my ruck sack standing alone at the back of the bus. Were they trying to lose my baggage for me After getting to the hotel i went to the roof top resturant. u can c the taj from here. What a building e3ven from a distance. After i had eaten i took a lo http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Uttar-Pradesh/Agra/blog-349914.html Dehli well what can u say but pants. Overpriced every1 is trying to make a fast buk out of u and the polution is the worest i have seen. Only good thing was being able to watch some motorcycle racing at a sports bar. So off to jiapur. There r a lot of rip off merchants here all involved in gems and its serious according to the locals. The Pushker camel fare is only a few days away so a few si http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/blog-346516.html What a stunning city and we found an amazing place guest house that overlooked most of the city. Think we deserved it after the last few days of traveling. Udaipur has real character surrounded by mountains with a palaces scattered on top of some of them so the raj can down on all he rule over. The whinnding streets r dressed with tinsel and fairy lights fire works exploid everywhere at random http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Udaipur/blog-342216.html We spent 12 hours no a night bus back to panaji the capital of goa. Rested and enjoyed some seafood whcih will probably be the last time for a few months.The bus to ahmedabad left the next morning at 9am and we sat down brasing ourselves for the 36 hour ride. 13 hours in and we where pulled off the bus by the guy who seemed to be in charge U stop here in pune. WHAT WHERE THE HELL IS PUNE. http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/blog-341517.html AFter getting back to baga we booked our tickets to hampi all the trains seem to be booked so we had to do overnight coach return and then we had to book a 36 hour coach ride once we got back to goa to go to rajasthaN.The coach ride seemed to fly by with the help of a couple of valium and the dreams where rather entertaining. i awoke refreased in hampi with the giant temple towering over us and http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Karnataka/Hampi/blog-337926.html The train to goa was far better than expected but it feels like u r in a capsule cut off from the rest of the world probably because i had no winsow for the whole journey. met a guy on the train who was staying in goa so the 3 of us decided to have a bit of a piss up when we got there. After this we ventured to the local chemistbecause of the all the stories u hear about what u can buy over the co http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/blog-337919.html Blimey mumbai is crazy. Landed while sleeping because i had made good use of the free bar on the BA flight so i didnt see anything on the way in. So when we got out of the airport by i was shocked to say the least not in a bad way but because the sights sounds and smells just create sensory overload. Both of us where quiet all the way to the hotel. The hotel was basic but that i the last thng u r http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/blog-334134.html
