BTW the photo here i a one from the site, not one of mine I'm afraid! My India adventure is now coming to it's conclusion, i've decided to head out of India and skip Nepal (for the moment anyway) I've been up in the mountains in Darjeeling and Sikkim recently. These were two of the places I was really looking forward to visiting. However looks like my timing was a bit out, as was bloody cold and wet and visibility was really poor (so never got to take any pictu...

Have spent the last 3 weeks (there or there abouts, I completely lose track of time at the moment to be honest..) in Kerala (South West tip of India). Probably one of the best places I've been to so far. Had a week in kovalam & Venkala (both beech type places) though not as nice beeches as Goa, still great places (though Kovalam was a bit touristy) before spending some time in the backwaters and then headed to my favourite place so far Kumily. Kumily's a lit...

Got some time to kill, so another update I'm afraid (though these are as much for me to remember what I've actually done!) Apart from the cricket, not much to report from Bangalore! India really cannot and should not be hosting the Cricket world cup. There is not enough organisation here to support a major event like this. The England V India game was great, but also a nightmare. It took a good couple of hours to get into the ground with all the Indians pushi...

Not quite the sea view i was hoping for, but for 7 GBP a night I'm not complaining! and after the prison cell hotels in Mumbai it was great to get away for some sun & sand. Wished I could have stayed here longer, but I'm heading to Bangalore on the overnight train tonight to try and get tickets for the India V England game! confident I should be able tofind some, else I'll stick...

Right, quick update! After arriving in Mumbai following a 22 hour train trip, this city is fantastic. Really cosmopolitan feel to the place! A refreshing breath of fresh air (literally) following Delhi! Not much to do tourist wise, and lingered there longer than expected - mainly due to wanting to meet up with Varsha, and tummy trouble (least said the better on that one!) The architecture of the city is one of the nice things, very british and colonial. H...
