Ahmebad was an experience to say the least. When we arrived the hotel taxis hadn't arrived so we tried to flag down tuk tuks for 18 people and their bags. Me and Jord got into one with a young lad about 19, seemed like a friendly guy who spoke less English than I did hidi but was adamant he knew the hotel.. Sure why would he lie. Before we set off he pulled over to add some air to his back tire and just smiled at me.. After driving for about 5 minutes he pulls ov...

After being I'll first time round in Pushkar I was looking forward to the morning hike up the holy hill. However. I seemed to have managed to lock me and Jord out of the room the night before by dead bolting it from the inside and going out the window to save time on going to the pool... However I kind of shut the window behind me and it sort of locked.. So we had to wait for the carpenter to come in the morning to take the door off.. So we did the hike at 10 ins...

The driver was about 5ft, poor guy having to lumber me and Jord around, just wanted to offer to peddle for him. The owner of the hotel was a pretty keen hiker (or more of power walker) and a few of us joined him for a 5am walk to a nearby fort for sunrise which felt good to actually do some real exercise after eating curries for 2 weeks.

I knew it was only a matter of time. Delhi belly had struck and struck hard! Missing Pushkar and some of the next destination I was determined not to miss the Taj in Agra. I was taken away by just how big the Taj actually was and even though there was a historical building right behind them people were more excited about having a photo with me and Jord. Although they did go crazy when we told them I was Tom Cruises nephew. There's me thinking my stomach may hold ...
