Morning! I only have a few hours in India remaining <sniff> and since its absolutely chucking it down outside, and there is thunder like I have never heard before, I thought would take some shelter and tell you about my last few experience of India. I said at the end of my last entry that a lot could happen in a few days and it has! 2 nights ago in Kerala I was strolling along the side of one of the canals in Alleppey when I bumped into a lovely smi...

Hellooo! Yes, sorry I am still alive. I have had a few e-mails of concern so its nice to know you care! I am currently in Kerala in Southern India. I have done a bit of tooing and froing since I last wrote. Turns out I got bored with Goa!

The ceramony was fab, loads of colours and lights and chanting however there were millions of small flies (which resembled mosquitos...and I am not exaggerating when I say millions) which detrac...

Namaste everyone! Yes, I am alive! Apologies for it taking me so long to get round to this but I have been sooo busy I have just not had time. As it stands this may be a half entry as I have to go in 45 mins but I'll see how I get on and hopefully add some pictures (and maybe videos, depending on how long they take to upload) later. So I'll start from the beginning! I managed to get the 3 connecting flights and did not end up in Timbuktoo as I had feared. My lu...
