Hello again everyone!, Well we've arrived in Thailand and we already absolutely love it! It seems so modern and clean and comfortable compared to India! Our hotel in Banglamphu is in a really cool area as well, and we've enjoyed Bangkok a lot more than we were expecting to. One of our major concerns was to get out and eat meat again. The food doesn't disappoint either. We've had some great spring rolls, pork satay sticks, Thai curries and stir fries and street ...

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.

Arriving in Agra, we thought we'd detest the city, but it didn't actually turn out to be too bad! Our hotel, though basic, was right next to the Taj Mahal, a thir...

Hi everyone, It was really good to read all your messages after our last blog, and we're both really pleased to know that people are keeping up to date with our travels! Well, we are now in Udaipur. Our last day in Jaisalmer passed without any real hitch. In the morning we visited some Jain temples, which were really ornately carved, with amazing detail. All the temples were joined together by little stairways, corridors and doors. Our afternoon bus to Udaipur ...
