5th-8th March Little Rann Sanctury When you thought it couldnt get any better we enter another sanctury this time for Wild Asses and birds. The sanctury is on the Kutch plains of Gujurat. The plains are flat & barren "A place without a counterpart on this globe" The locals make a living out of filtering salt from beneath the soils running it into slat panns then sweep it through to evaporate the water. This is very hard work in the heat of the dese...

We hired a ROYAL ENFIELD 350 motorcycle to cruise around old Goa and the northern beaches. Old Goa was fasinating so many churches in a small town...

5th-7th Hampi HolyCity. Wow this place definately gets my highest vote so far as we approach the city on another 10hr bus ride across the Western Ghats, The local farmers use the main highwayto ground their hay!!!
