First of al i am sorry for any bad English used in these entries, i have had a few complaints...mum and Claire, thanks for pointing it out. I do not get long to use the internet so do not go back over to check. We left Goa and had a 22 hour journey from hell that should have taken 16 hours. I felt tired, dirty and bruised from the bumpy roads when we eventually left the prison coach that had taken us from Goa to Bangalore (in land from Goa). The Indian people ju...

We stayed in a lovely beach hut and the beach was less crowded with Indian's forcing you to look at what they have to sell, it was more unspoilt than the first resort.

Arrived in Delhi yesterday greeted by lots and lots of people, poor people and children begging and the biggest cow i have ever seen. We braved the roads for some lovely food that evening (avoiding meat at the moment, not ready for delhi belly). It is busy, colourful and the roads are dangerous but the people are very very welcoming, helpful and speak very good English; we are like local celebrety's. Today we had a tour around Delhi, lots of people wanted to t...
