Hey all... so here I am in Kolkata after a CRAZY few days... and I mean mental... there have been tears and tribulations, but tomorrow we are off to Thailand which is a relief. Will be nice to take it a little easy, and particularly as on the 3rd we are meeting up with Cara, Sophie, Gregory and Bridgy! I cannot tell you how exciting it is that we will be able to drink alcoholic beverages in bars full of travellers wearing nice clothes and listening to popular mus...

Over breakfast we met these 4 girls from Liverpool, who had also just arrived in Udaipur, and were doing a simular tour to us but back-to...

17th March- After some rather strange Malarone enduced dreams, we awoke to a hectic day of sightseeing in Jodphur. Today we visited the Umaid Bhawan Palace, which is still inhabited by the royal residence of Jodphur. It is half hotel and half royal residence, and has 26 aches of grounds.
