yeaaa for vegetarian food!! i have a tip for you instead of 'shanti shanti' turkey's version is 'yavash yavash'!! you look beautiful sarah in your indian attire! carl you look hairy!! xx
Hey guys! indias hectic eh?! out of all the places in india i went to i thought to myself munnar would be the hardest for cycling! you two are gods! those passes are never ending and are sooo steep! i remember there were some very bad bends too and some frightening descents. Indian children are sooo cute arent they? your school sounds tough but i bet it os worth it for the kids. when you guys come back to england watch the new danny boyle film slumdog millionaire. it gets india down to a t! hope your both well love tara xx
