Hi Niggles, Did you enjoy your visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar? I hope you make the most of the calm surroundings up in the Himalayas - not sure how you'll get on with the meditation as I understand you have to stop talking for that lol! Wish you'd send some sun back to England as we seem to be getting a lot of rain too. Carry on having a fab time, will chat soon... love, Dee x

Hey Nigel! Dawnie told me to check out your blog... had a little look at your pics - Ostrich riding in S.Africa looked hysterical... we didnt do that, but wish we had!! Looks like you're having a fab time in India! Wish id made it over there! Im coming to the end of my time in Oz now, another 6 weeks and then i head over to New Zealand and then S.America! Time goes soooo quickly! Cant believe im in my 8th month of travelling. Make sure you make the most of it and see and do as much as you can! If you need any tips for Oz - let me know! Hannah

Hi nigel hows it going, Wow ya certainly seeing some places on ya travels. I like the pictures yes you were a bit close to that cobra. Mind you it reminded me when i Had one put down my trouser leg in Tunisia. of course i volentered to go on stage or should i say my mate pushed me as i said i am game for a laugh ha ha .It was the longest 5 mins of my life ha ha. So you are staying in a five star hotel hey make the most of it son. Sounds like you have fell on ya feet meeting up with these couch surfers etc. they will be showing ya the ropes ha ha. Which is good at least you wont get ripped off as much. ok take care and i am thinking of you love DAD XXXXXXXXX

ey up! wot amazing fotos! elephants and monkies look amazing. Not too sure about the snake though. Make sure they dont bite and give you something nasty! Will sort out your parcel and will ring in a couple of weeks when back from bulgaria. take care x

Hi Nigel, It was good talking to you yesterday. I'll ring again sometime soon - there are loads of minutes on the phonecard. Enjoy the luxury as the basic accommodation and travel seems just that, basic! I hope you enjoy your trip to the Golden Temple today. Remember what I told you about getting a sign made up in various languages so you don't have to keep telling people that you're english! Alternatively, get some of that fake tan on and try to blend in lol. Take care - hope you don't have as much trouble trying to leave India as I did lol. Dee xxx

Hi Nigella, Sounds as though you're having a great time - the photos are great. It's good that you've met up with a nice family to spend a few days with. Hopefully they'll be able to help perfect your bartering skills, as you're probably still being slightly over-charged. You'll come back better at it than me lol. Watch out for that Delhi-belly! Take care, luv Dee xx
