Bundi
You could have been there for a very long time . Next time take a handful of leaves , camel droppings , whatever , and drop them on the initial foray . Then follow them back. Could save a lot of international embarrassment . The UK could do without additional strife at the moment .

That time again !
I guess there's always somewhere at sometime in India when there's political unrest. Hope it won't be too much of a problem . There's always Weston Super Mare and the donkeys , instead of Kolkata and poor little unsuspecting goats.

Rain ?
I don't think too many people in Britain will have ANY sympathy for you whatsoever re the rain. The news has just covered the SNOW - anything could be happening , wars , gun fights - whilst news item after news item shows kids on sleds, cars in ditches and disgruntled mothers having to look after their kids because there isn't a school open in the country. The funniest interviews are with visitors from Germany or Scandinavia who look as tho they think we are completely bonkers. Anyway, hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Winter in Spain !
' Sit on the patio !' - 'a bit nippy !' - We've just had to shovel our way through the snow to get into the house. Squeaky just put his paw in the stuff then ran indoors shaking his paw frantically - I don't expect he's seen snow before. Anyway , don't let our discomfort spoil your holiday - will you ?

Europe for a change !
I'm glad you like Seville. Tho I don't suppose it comes close to Sikkim. Sorry about all the rain - but the snow storms have just started in the UK. London and the SE expect to be hardest hit. Don't suppose you're going to a bull fight are you ? Not really your thing. Have a sherry and plenty of tapas instead. Have fun.

Could be a real man !
Surprised you have never heard of Jack Baines - I haven't either, but thought you might have. Actually, Neville Shute wrote about some English guy who ended up in Burma after the war - he ended up starting up a lucrative business and married a local girl. Shute often wrote about real people he met or knew.

Hi Sarah, I was in Thailand, but missed the Chinese Martyr Museum...I wasn't as adventurous as you (on this particular trip!) and mostly stayed in Bangkok. It's a crazy city. I enjoy your blog and hope to follow you thru your journey! Ann Marie

Levels of enlightenment !
I suppose being questioned about David Beckam and Manchester United at level three was par for the course. Wonder what the questions would have been at level 9. The God particle ? The Large Hadron Collider ? The Higgs boson ? Stephen Hawking ?

All mod cons !
Washing out of a washing machine ? What's wrong with slapping it on a stone by the side of the river ? You know - a little 'picturesque rustic poverty '. You could have been mistaken for a hill tribe woman or are you still wearing your old travelling mate the pink shell suit ? Have fun - take care !

Off again !
I see I'm the only one so far to comment on your blog. But I guess that's what Mum's are for. Have told your American fan that you are on the move again. She is such a kind lady - I am sure she will have a look. Take care !

Are you still away or now back?
I still haven't yet figured out how to use this thing properly (just in case you hadn't guessed!) What does a "prod" do? Anyway, are you still away or now back in the land of the living and the hard working again? Sounds like you have had a great time - when's the next one?!?!

Fawlty Towers !
What a hoot ! Trust you to choose a restaurant where the Moroccan equivalent of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES was carried out in full view of the clientele. Perhaps you should have asked yourself why you were the only diner. However, at least you were appreciated by a 'dickhead' so the day couldn't have been all bad. Looking forward to your comments on Fez. Take care !

Photography !
Sounds as tho you're having a great time. DO pluck up the courage to ask 'nicely' if you can photograph people - better momentoes even than buildings.

Bert Flint's House
Looked up Bert Flint. What an interesting story. I see he lives there - don't suppose you bumped into him? The Ryad Bahia looks great on the web site - what gorgeous colours ! Are you getting fed up with tagines yet ? Have you tried any of the French food ?

Mooching in Marrakech
Well it didn't take you long to find a way to make us all jealous, did it ? Thanks for the texts - much appreciated. What I want to know is where the accompanying photos are - taken by your professional entry camera? How about a pic of a local snake charmer or a cup of mint tea, if you can't manage that. Take care ! Have fun !

Just my cup of tea!
I thought you had signed up to learn Hindi at work! Shouldn't you be fluent by now? I think you fell down a grain chute ( or were saved just in time - not sure,long time ago) when you went on a junior school trip - so this fear is probably not unfounded. Glad you are packing so much in to your fortnight - sorry it hasn't quite come up to Sikkim standards. So you won't be wanting me to buy you a house in Kausani then? Thanks for all the text messages too !

Srange confectionery !
I'm delighted to read that you are on the track of yet more unconventional sweets for me to try. I should like to point out to anyone who is reading this blog that the only reason that these offerings remain gathering dust is because no one else will make an attempt to eat them - including Sarah. It is not because I am ungrateful! Anyway, I'm pleased to hear that you are enjoying yourself and will wait to read your account of being conscripted as a temple musician!

Following (but not too closely,of course!)the travels of my daughter!
All sounds very exciting ! I expect you'll come home very blessed after this trip. I know Rupert ran the gauntlet of many Holy Men in Pushkar and look at the change in him! Mussoorie looks lovely from my explorations on the the web - a bit cooler too.Have fun!

Mum's revenge!
Internet freak - huh! Don't intend this comment to sink into a slanging match but would like to point out a few grammatical errors. You may be on holiday and thus excused lower case mistakes but spelling is a different matter . Who is this Rover Ganges upon whose banks your hotel resides? Some huge statue to a god who reveres dogs - I believe there is a monkey god - so a possibility! And 'twop days travelling' - surely a mistake which could only be attributed to your younger sibling!

Wendy's friend
Hi Sarah--I remember when I was travelling in Tanzania and I was climbing Kilimanjaro for awhile (7 days?) always looking DOWN at clouds and then after I decended, it seems very strange to be looking UP at clouds and be on flat ground! I read your whole blog and feel like I was right along with you. Take care

Hello 'fat bum!'
Souns as tho you might be the only tourist in the area. I dont like the sound of those aggressive dog packs - we have a single aggressive cat and that's bad enough. Not long now and you'll be back to the relative sanity of N London.Hope the return journey goes smoothly.

The British 'royals' got everywhere when India was completely 'pink'. No wonder there are so few tigers left in the world. It took rather a long time to become more 'enlightened'.
