I'm not really at this location, but I have no idea what the province is that I am in and a location is required to publish. Actually in Varanasi at the moment. It has been ten days since my last blog - there has either been no internet, internet not working or we simply haven't had five minutes to spare. Our Tour Leader, Uttam, is Intrepids number one leader in India and he has activities planned for us 24/7. Today is my first day with Delhi Belly. Strangely, the group has been inflicted with colds rather than diarrehia. It is the last day of the first tour today. We are flying back to Dehli in an hour. We then have two days in Dehli before the next trip starts. We have done so much in the ... read more

Final day. Got the Metro to the Mall and went up the tallest building in the world. About to leave now for a desert safari with sand duning in four wheel drives, sand boarding, belly dancing, camels etc. Went out to dinner last night and then cocktails at a bar and Ben ended up losing the camera, hence no photos. Great start to the holiday! The blogs will start to get a bit less frequent now as we leave for India tomorrow morning, so who knows when we will come across a computer next. Dani is coming over to Jaipur and meeting us for the weekend, so we will be meeting up only two days after we leave Dubai. Happy Birthday for tomorrow Gene. Love you.... read more

More rugby on TV this morning - two semi final matches. In the afternoon we went to the souqs in the Old Town and did a bit of bartering which was good preparation for India. It was great having our very own negiotator there, you forget what it is like to haggle. We then went to Ravis Indian resteraunt and then to Barasti, a bar that is in the top 10 in the world. It was on the beach and had a night club attached which gets around 10,000 people on the weekends. ... read more

Got into Dubai at 6am on Satruday morning. Dani and Trav picked us up and after a drive about went back to their apartment to watch of course the rugby! Dani and I went down to the pool to sunbath and catch up. Then we went to the Atlantis Hotel (the famous one on The Palms). Then to the Verge (the worlds tallest building) but it was booked out so are going there another day. Then we had dinner on the lake front at this amazing Lebonese resteraunt right in front of the fountain display that they have at nights. They play music and the water display is like it is dancing in time to the tune. The song changes each time - it is amazing and moving. Dani and Trav said last time they saw ... read more
