| 16th July 2009 Bonnie | the Taj Mahal - From: Agra & Delhi Amy and Simon, Robert and I have been totally enjoying your writing and photos. Thank you so much. The fact that we are also in the urban planning world makes your observations especially interesting to us. Yes, the Taj is amazing and difficult to describe. I had been wondering recently if it really is as wonderful as I remember, so it's good to get your confirmation. I went on an especially hot day, before bottled water, so I was buzzed on about 12 bottles of Coke when I saw it. Bonnie |
| 16th July 2009 Di | Wow - From: Agra & Delhi YES! |
| 9th July 2009 Di | Yay - From: Rajasthan Decidedthat the washing could wait - was anticipating this treat overnight. Just as well you did the trip this way round - travel fatigue getting from nepal to india may not have been as fun! Love the camel photos. |
| 17th June 2009 Andrew "By Nature" Biggs | Indeed... - From: Goa ....no sex on the beach in Goa then?... The drink I mean... Hehe... Can't believe you chose fosters, possibly the worst beer of all time, but I guess if it's cheap, what else is there to do! Heh! |

| 16th June 2009 Jane and Sam | Sam likes curries - From: Goa Don't worry Simon, I'm still impressed that you went to school with Ross Taylor! Do let me know if Indian Mc'Ds isn't as spicy as NZ, and if they really do have lamb big macs, or big maaas, or whatever.... Glad you guys are having a great time, Goa looks amazing! And I'm glad to hear the curries aren't too hot! A tropical beach and a not so spicy curry would go down quite well right now ... it's snowing on the Rimutaka hill today! Looking forward to the next blog! |

| 18th April 2009 Karene | WOW - From: Escape from Nepal WHat an adventure! Some very smart choices had to be made but you would have been so hot, dusty and exhausted. You look very relaxed, surprisingly, at the boarder crossing. What a great feed you had when you finally got there! No Darjeeling tea? Thanks for keeping us up with things. It's great to see your pictures and to hear that you are both OK, even despite adventures. What a story to remember! It's definitely NOT in the 30's here. I'm in ChCh and it's a cool 19 degrees today. Kind regards to you both. |

The photos are really awesome and your rich descriptions give us a good picture of what you're up to. Thanks heaps! I'm so envious and would love to have seen these things myself.

I sent it on your email. Anyway have fun and stay safe. |
