Hi everyone, Sorry we haven't got around to doing a blog recently, it's been a hectic two weeks, as most of you will know by now. Two weeks ago yesterday (Saturday 6th) I managed to pick up a bug. We tried to get it sorted in Varanasi, but after getting to Kolkata via train, and not having anything to eat in between, it soon resurfaced when I ate. By Wednesday I was feeling really weak, and everything I ate made me feel extremely sick. We decided it was for the ...

Hi everyone, Sorry it's been a while since we last wrote on the blog - it's been a busy few days! We had another 'interesting' journey from Orccha to Khajuraho. We boarded a bus which seemed fairly civilised to begin with, but as the departure time neared, the seats started to fill up and pretty soon the aisles were crammed full with people too! It was another bumpy and uncomfortable ride so it was a relief to finally arrive in Khajuraho and have a hot shower (a...

Hi everyone, Time for another update! Well, the last journey from Agra turned into a bit of a catastrophe as well!

All the temples were joined together by little stairways, corridors and doors. Our afternoon bus to Udaipur ...

Hi everyone, We arrived in Delhi on Monday morning, after a long flight. Has a crazy rickshaw driver weave through the manic streets, with cars, bikes and cows etc., but we managed to make it to our hotel in one piece. Ollie has already been ill, before he even reached India, from a fish curry on the plane. It doesn't bode well... We stayed in a really nice area, in a nice hotel, and the owner was lovely. We then did a bit of sightseeing. We visited Humayun's ...
