Jodhpur - the Blue City (though more to do with pest control than looking pretty, apparently!) and as in riding breeches (invented by the Maharaja's polo team)! A great place! We ended up in a "Heritage Hotel". A fabulous old builing, though sadly it's plumbing is not ageing quite as well as the exterior!! We were chuffed to bits with it until we saw the 5-star hotel that used to be the Maharaja's Palace - now that's a "Heritage Hotel"!! Thou...

Our start was another early morning, eventful drive to the airport. The driver who turned up to pick us up had his windscreen all iced over and clearly had no idea what to do about it! Him and his friend just thought it was very funny and set off to drive to the airport completely blind and giggling away!

Not for the first time this trip we made the flight by the skin of our teeth - being ushered by very lovely and helpful staff as...

We were deposited at the top of a network of alleys, in which we proceeded to lose all sense of direction and remain suspicious as to whether we'll ever find out way out again! Ou...

Well done to those who guessed right, we are in India!!! Only half the story I am afraid though! - We are spreading our last six weeks between two countries.....neither of which were on the original list.......let the guesses for round two commence!! Our journey here started back with the trip to the Indian Embassy in Singapore. Thankfully, after the five day wait our visas were approved and after waiting another hour an a half for them to print off the passpor...
