Good morning everyone, It is currently 10:30 am and we have just said bye to half of our group who are going back to Delhi to either go home or continue their travels. It was sad to say goodbye to such a lovely group of people - we really became a family. And so we celebrated in true tourist style by having a few shandys last night :) Hence why chris is still in bed as i type this. Just before some of the americans left, Becky and Tera (just delightful), they g...

Namaste, Chris here with an update, Our journey is going well, Jess has a bit of an upset stomach but is ok and some of our plans have changed :) Now instead of spending 4 days in Delhi after our tour ends six of us in the group are getting an overnight train to udapur to stay with our tour leader Yosh and celebrate the holi festival (festival of colours). We will then catch a flight back to Delhi in time to catch our flight to Thailand. None of us in the group...

We then had our introduction to the group, there's 16 of us including our leader called Yosh which I've decided is Indian for J...

Wow!! Where to begin!! Flight was good, had some delicious Indian food and watched some movies. Had some delightful (input sarcasm) children in front of us!! But had a lovely man next to me who gave us valuable advice about taxis, food, money and well being white! The views from the window were spectacular as we saw the sunrise over India, then arrived safely in Delhi. As soon as we left the airport the heat just hit us, you would never know its February. Then...
