Hello! FINALLY we have left the elephant park where there is no signal and no computers so we can carry on telling you about our Indian adventures! So as Ellie said, Tordi was a lovely little village that we stayed in for one night on 22nd March. It was very old fashioned, very industrious - with either farm work, laundry/tailor work, pottery and many more. The next morning, we made our way to Pushkar where we would stay for two nights. The highlight of t...

Hello! This is a very delayed entry so may not remember everything of what happened! We arrived in a little village called Tordi Gar after a 4 hour journey in a very uncomfortable jeep ride! We were given a necklace of flowers and a glass of 'thumsup' (Indias version of coke) and were gretted by the owners.

He arrived in his little tuk tuk and put our luggage in the back, they may look small from the outside but they are quite r...

Yo yo yo! So yesterday we visited the Red Fort. It was beautiful but there wasn't much to see. Ellie told me to write that because I wrote "it was boring" and she told me off. First off we had a lovely lie in, to counteract all the early mornings we have had this week. So we dordled for a few hours, Ellie packed her stuff and was really unnerved that it was easy, I think she was expecting more of a struggle. Then the hotel owner's son (and our new friend Pu...
