Keep Smiling's Guestbook

Hectic schedule, blogs delayed!
You'll have to be a bit patient Dave. We have so much to see and too but, alas, the days are too short. Grey haired nomads are ahead of me with their blogs (David writes faster than me) but I'm ahead on picture sorting. The reason for the ban on photos in Dharavi is simply to prevent it becoming a tourist site, to maintain the residents' privacy and to avoid embarrassing them with a proliferation of pictures of the poor conditions in which they exist. I wholeheartedly agree with the policy, although Reality Tours will provide high res photos (taken a year or two back), all of which I have and some of which I included in the blog. Keep a look out for future blogs. David and Janice are still reeling from culture shock!

The Andaman Islands - wow!
That should be a great trip Mel. I'm envious. We're now ending our third week and have just two more weeks to go. India is as wonderful as ever. The Grey haired nomads are still gasping at new sights daily!

India never changes
Bob, you must come back to India- although you could leave it a few years and it would still be the same chaotic, colourful, incredible place! The Grey haired nomads, on their first trip to India, are my elder brother David and his wife Janice. They asked me to bring them - it's my ninth or tenth time here!
