Well it had to happen thankfully not on an overnight train, but my claim to fame is, diarrhoea at Ramborth Fort a maharajahs palace we stayed in for 1 night. Sting from the police stayed there a few years ago. It was beautiful, missed out on wearing a sari for dinner. Went for walk round village saw loads of kids wanting pictures, they were so funny. Saw sawmill, pottery being made and bangles. Went by jeep through desert to Pushkar a strict vegetarian town no meat, eggs or alcohol. People wanted to give you rose petal, but you don't take as it is a scam they want to do a prayer at the lake and charge you 50 pounds. I went on a camel ride into the desert it was fun my camel was called Boli it kept stopping and eating. We camped overnight in a big tent the sand was cold and hard, but it was fun. Pushkar is in the desert and it was really warm, it is getting to summer time. Bought a scarf to keep the sun off my arms for 50rupees, not got good at the haggling yet. Found out some of my pictures won't print as I thought I needed camera on email mode to put them on the blog. They will be ok on computer so no pictures of me in print at the Taj Mahal. Well better to learn now than at the end of this trip. Did not think I would feel so stupid as I do. Still trying to get pictures on the computer please be patient and cannot figure out how this message board works. Lovely reading everyones messages HOW DO I REPLY. Got trein back to Dehli yesterday 7 hours got back at midnight train was nice loads of food, although after my upset tummy am a bit wary of food. Have nearly finished my hand wash already.

Darjeeling tomorrow new place new people, will misss security of my little group lou, andrea,casey, terry, binau,cameron, paul and jen. Heared from Chitra in Darjeeling there has been a strike which may mean I have to stey in a hotel in Bogdora for 1 night but it is just a slim chance. Fingers crossed it does not happen, but I know where I am staying and who to contact and I have her number. Nervous about volunteering hope I will be good enough. I do miss everyone especiallly as everyone else on my trip is going home and I am not. But I am exited about going somewhere new. I have everything crossed that my taxi comes to pick me up for the airport.
