Morning all, Beginning from where we left off in Khajuraho. We had a nice dinner with Anna and Simon in an Italian resturant (I know its cheating but there is only so much Indian food you can take without a break). We decided to sit outside on the roof- which was nice but there were millions of bugs EVERYWHERE! Afterwards we took a bicycle rickshaw the 5km back to out hotel, giving the driver a good workout. The next day was spent travelling, we got another e...

Hey all, I've addded some more photos to this site but i couldnt be bothered to sort them into different places so yourl have to wait till i get home or guess!! Since our last blog entry we have been really busy. We had a 3 hour drive from Jaipur to Ranthambore National Park on sunday.

OK, I want to start by writing a few guidelines to driving in India: (1) Always drive on the LEFT (this does not apply to cars, vans, mopeds, rickshaws, auto-rickshaws, motorcycles, pedestrians, cyclists, cows, camels, any other motorised vehicle, andy other non-motorised vehicle, any other road user).

Hi everyone, Finally made it to India after 2 long plane flights, not too bad but feeling really tired. The first thing we did was find out that our taxi driver didnt know where he was going and then that out hotel had given away out room! This wasnt fun and after much hastle we managed to find a cheap and delapidated hotel to put us up for the night. Anyway to conclude, the first day was not a great success but hopefully things will improve! Jon and Fran
