Hello Everyone! Well I am back in the lovely England! I arrived back on Friday (2nd March), after a 13 hour flight from Thailand. It has been great being back... seeing family and friends. It's just like nothing has changed. This trip has been by far the best thing I have ever done in my life, without a doubt. Just to think... I have swam with 400 wild dolphins, stroked tigers, seen 20 metre high geysers, seen the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, seen and been inside the Sydney Opera House, walked over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, been to one of the world's most beautiful beaches (Wineglass Bay), met the most friendly people in Fiji, seen one of the World's most beautiful places (Fiji again), been on one of the world's best train ... read more

It seems that India just wasn't meant to be.... Got randomly attacked and bitten by a dog on a small street in Pushkar, after popping out of my hotel to get some water. It literally just went at me for no reason - it was lying on the ground and I was just walking past. Hobbled back to my hotel, and was completely freaked out as hadn't had my rabies jab, and the wound was quite deep. The lovely man from the hotel took me to the local hospital (on the back of a motorbike!) which was FILTHY and literally looked like a World War II bomb shelter. Either that, or it reminded me of the S-21 torture prison I went to in Cambodia - just a dirty stone building with blackened walls and rusty furniture. ... read more

It wasn't quite India yet but I had a great time with my work friends in Jaipur; an Indian restaurant in Woking. My work colleges kindly bought me some wonderful leaving presents to take with me travelling and we proceeded to consume beer and curry into the evening. It was sad to have to say goodbye to everyone, especially those I'd known the entire time I was working and others who I'd only just started to get to know. I will miss Rubicon evenings out like these - they were always a riot. So I promised everyone I would visit and catch up when I got back - which I most definitely will.... read more
