Incredible India! Someone once said the acronym for India was I'd Never Do India Again.. this is how Carolyn felt for a few days in Pushkar when the bug wouldn't leave her and she felt weak and homesick for her own bed. However, a few days later and in a new city, things looked far more rosy and even though they were in the Blue City of Jodphur, there was nothing blue about our 2 travelers!

Taj to Raj Paul and Carolyn took a train out of Delhi to Agra and the home to one of the Wonders of the World; the Taj Mahal.

Paul and Carolyn forgot to take me out most days as they were distracted with their friends, but I hear they had some fantastic day...

That novelty soon wore off when we discovered the air conditioning was set to full blast and was broken so we would be 'sleeping' in a fridge! Carolyn settled down to sleep once she had used Paul's socks to block the vents, whereas Paul spen...
