Alia India is great! But I have to say the best part about it is the beautiful beaches! The beach we are at now is Varkala beach. We are staying at a hotel nearby and arrived there after a 4 hour train ride, packed with people. Sadly, It could have been better. Way better. What happened was, there were two window panes beside the seat I was sitting on, with a space in between them. But just as I was looking out, this mouse about the size of my palm, popped out of nowhere, running between the two windows, and [View Full Entry]

Samir's article. Today we went to the edge of a jungle, where elephants are trained to work in the forest. There was also a mini zoo and elephant rides.

Samir's article. Finally drove to London and went to the wax museum. Most of the museum was just about how great celebrities were, but the wax people were really real looking. Then we went to Thames river where we saw Big Ben and took a cruise down the river and saw London bridge. All the people (except me) in my photos are made of wax. Write later. [View Full Entry]

Samir's article. It is our second day in London. Visited the Hampton court palace, and the Bushy park where there are about 80 deer walking around about a foot away. In the palace greenhouse is the worlds largest grapevine, which is about 248 feet long. London is not far from being the same as Vancouver, so not much has happened yet, but am going to the wax museum on the 19th. Will write more then. [View Full Entry]
