Well we've now arrived in Bikaner, another desert town like Jaisalmer (although with less charm!) and it's baking hot, hence why we're sitting in another internet cafe, whiling away the time until it gets a bit cooler this evening. Just to give you a bit of an idea about what it's like in India, Amy thought she'd give you a few of her observations about the country, from a woman's perspective... OK so as a woman in India it's universally accepted that it's not ...

Sorry it has been so long since an update! Rather than give you a long description of what we've been up to, I thought I'd just give you some of our observations about India that we've picked up along the way, along with a few interesting stories! We had an interesting day in Pushkar, where after walking along the market-lined streets for a couple of hours, we decided to head homewards whilst filming the scenery.

The next day we did yet more sho...

Hi everyone! Hope you're all ok! On Thursday 31st we went on a village walk in Kande, and visited the local school and hospital. It was really interesting but you felt sorry for the kids there, as the school was very basic and only a very very small number go on to University. On our way back two little girls gave us their addresses and asked us to write to them which was quite sweet. On Friday 1st August we had a chilled out day and just read some books in t...
