Having just spent a week in Goa, I'm missing it already! Anjuna is pretty good, I can imagine how fucking class it would be in high season! Maybe next time! Basically it's a little town/village at the back of the beach, with hotels, bars and restaurants all around. All along the beach there's clubs, bars and the most expensive accommodation, a beach hut costing at least 2500rs a night! Fuck that! I end up walking back up the beach to the cheaper area just back from the beach, bump into a guy on the way back and end up in a room in the middle of a residential area, 5 minutes from the beach and 282rs a night. Spot on. Got offered a job one night when I was out, I was so tempted to stay ... read more

The train from Delhi to Udaipur is 12 hours, probably the easiest journey I've had so far! Slept well and woke up on time. Udaipur must be the laziest city in India! Nothing's fucking open 'till 10AM! When compared with everywhere else opening at like 7/8 makes a difference, when I arrived at the station I couldn't book my fucking ticket for the next day cos no one's at work! Get to work you bums! As a consequence I ended up staying an extra night than I wanted to, and paying an extra 200 fucking rupees for the train! I suppose there's worse places to have to spend an extra night. I go to the cheapest place the guide book recommends, 150rs for a dorm room, lal ghat guest house, it's really really nice, probably the ... read more

I'll start briefly in Varanasi, so I thought I'll get back to the hotel two hours before the train so I can pack and chill before a 13 hour train journey. First off some kid leads me miles away taking me to a tuk tuk stand, then the fucking driver doesn't know where my hotel is! What kind of tuk tuk driver doesn't know where things are in the city?! Dickhead! So we're driving around for like an hour, at this point I'm thinking in going to miss the train. I get to the station with five minutes to find the platform and train, which in India is one of the hardest things, especially at Varanasi train station, there's fuck all in English and no one who speaks English, nightmare. I manage to just about find ... read more

Haven't posted anything for a while, been trekking and then Pokhara is too beautiful to waste time typing a blog out! We set off on the Annapurna circuit trek, not really knowing or thinking about what a trek a really is, in hindsight it would've been greatly advantageous to have checked this out, because it turns out trekking is fucking hard work and lots of walking! As oppose to the brisk walk we expected. Stupid to think that really when the highest point of the trek is 5416M, but there you go. So we set off in high spirits, excited for the scenery we would encounter over the next three weeks...yes, 3 fucking weeks! The start of the trek was littered with Chinese mines and lots of construction, slightly ruining the beautiful mountain scenery surrounding us. ... read more

Chitwan! 6 - So I board to Chitwan express, a bus apparently famed for it's AC, only to fine out the "AC" is a fan. Never mind, not too bad. The journey to Chitwan was fantastic, amazing views, and death defying road. Literally overtaking buses and having about an inch of road before falling to certain death into the fucking river a couple of hundred feet below! I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about it though, it wasn't scary, maybe people are just pussy's or over exaggerate... To be fair, there was a lorry on it's side, but at ground level. So I arrive in Chitwan and I don't really know what to expect, or what I was expecting! But basically, this wasn't it, and it was fucking shite. Quiet little town ... read more
