Panaji, Goa (24th - 26th June) Due to the rain there was no point in staying around the beach resorts so we decided to tag along with Jase and Liz for a few days to do some sightseeing in the rain! In Panaji itself the main attraction was the Church of our lady of the immaculate conception - ok its just a church but from the pictures you will see it was worth seeing. When we first arrived in panaji we thought we were staying in a half decent guest hous...

Palolem Beach, Goa (19th - 24th June) Hello Everyone! Hope you're all well and enjoying the monday morning back at work feeling...sorry shouldn't rub it in. As some of you know we're leaving india tonight after an amazing 6 weeks here.

Pushkar (8th - 13th June) Due to the train problems we ended up here as we can get a connecting train to mumbai in a few days time. After reading the lonely planet (our new bible) it sounded as though it was a pretty good place to come to and so it turned out. The danish girls had come from here and they recommended we stayed at hotel white house so we did for the first night anyway, nice enough but missing one vital ingredient, cable tv. Due to the start of...

Jodhpur (30th May - 8th June) After just writing those dates it really didn't feel we were there for that long. The main reason we stayed so long was because we had a lot of trouble trying to book a train out of the place. We were hoping to go straight to mumbai from here but found out the next available train would be on the 26th June or thereabouts so we had to take some detours...
