Hello People, We hope you are all well because we have not been! Food poisoning. Of the worst kind. We had some dodgy (didn't seem dodgy at the time!) rice at Chennai train station just before going to Mysore and ended up having to spend 5 days in bed and toilets in a hotel there. Nice. But we did get to see some of Mysore in the end and it was beautiful. We went to see the Maharaja's Palace. It was very big and ornate and gold and flashy. Beautiful stained glas...

Hello :-) Well, we are in Pondicherry at the moment, which is very lively and bustling - a bit like the Vegas of India! Its right on the sea, so has a nice beach area to walk across too. Jen and Neil had their fortunes told by a palm reader on the seafront last night... apparently we both have long lives, and job promotions to come! Backtracking slightly, after Varkala we ventured into the Nilgiri Hills, where it was freezing, and very wet. We stayed in Coonor...

We are in Varkala atm. We are staying in a cool 'bamboo hut' style room in the middle of a long stretch of restaurants and hotels along the cliff. There are loads of tourists here but it is still nice. We have been mainly chilling out. We had a day on the beach and all got sunburnt...especially Neil! Neil has now realised his mistake and bought a rucksack instead of the wheelie case. He looks quite fetching! There is happy hour which stretches to happy night in a...

We will try and get a picture for you. And we had our first walk on beach!! Tomorrow we should be going on a backwater boat ride. We also have been caught in our first massive downpour of rain complete with thunder and lightning!Rewinding back to Khajuraho- The day after we wrote our ...

Hello Everyone, We arrived in Khajuraho yesterday after another overnight train but this time without air conditioning. We then took our very first tuk tuk and 4 hour bus journey to arrive somewhere near Khajuraho. And were transported in a car with 11 other people! Very packed. Khajuraho is a smaller and very nice village, however..at night it turns into bug city! The floor is literally covered in black bugs. You cannot take a step without killing at least 20 ...
