The last leg of this 28990 mile trip (I have this figure memorised because I bought a 29,000 mile ticket - 11 more miles and I would have had to buy a ridiculously expensive 39,000 mile ticket!). For all those of you that have managed to stick through my previously crazy long blogs, please take the time to pat yourself on the back. I recently had the chance to look back at them and can only apologise for my verbal diarrhea. I'll try and keep this one nice and short for two reasons: 1) You've probably got better things to be getting on with this bank holiday 2) I'll be home in two weeks to bore you in person. All beware the dreaded scrapbook that I'll be putting together. Having spent 6 weeks training as ... read more

New Zealand - what can I say - wow! I'm having an unbelievable time out here. I arrived in Auckland on 8th November with horrendous jet lag - didn't catch a wink on the flight.

I arrived in India on 6th October 2006 and went straight to Ahmedabad. I stayed with family friends there who made sure that I was EXTREMELY well fed and looked after before setting off on the trip proper. On the 9th, I made my way to Delhi to catch up with my travel buddy Som (the person who's in most of my pics), and then on to Bandhavgarh NP to start the tiger-fun. On the way we had to take a 7-hour (!) cab journey thrugh Nowherenigar and Randomabad - a journey that was only 150 miles so you can imagine how bad the roads were. Bandhavgarh itself was amazing. We stayed with Shivang, Rupal and their 7-year-old boy Eshaan. Me and Som thought we might be helping out around the camp but in true Indian ... read more
