We arrived in Goa the next afternoon and were unimpressed to find that to get to the Asterix hotel in Vagator, where we planned to stay, we had to travel for another hour and a half at least, about £12 by taxi. Jade was also not feeling very well so even worse. We then found that we could instead take three local buses for about 45p each and so set off to the bus station. The buses generally went fine, apart from the standard slight unsureness if you are going a...

On our second day in Udaipur we were up early again to go to the train station and meet Krista (who came down for the weekend) and have another crack at booking the train tickets. After almost having a serious tantrum in the ticket office, on talking to the most annoying man ever, we eventually ended up with Waiting List tickets to Mumbai. There were no official tourist quota left but often if the waiting list number is only low you will get assigned a seat as pe...

We left our guest house at 7.30ish to head off and meet our group for breakfast.

The tuk tuk took around the other side of the lake on what was actually my favourite trip in Bundi so far, it looked really beautiful with the twinkling lights and a better ...

We left Jaipur early Wednesday morning (17th July). The hotel manager had told us that there was a bus leaving for Pushkar around 11 so we thought we'd get there early to find the bus stop. First we were told there was no bus until 2, but then luckily we found a bus going to Ajmer leaving straight away so we got on that and changed at Pushkar. Both of us being used to getting on buses that then don't leave for hours we got on with our stuff and Jade went to get...
