Well I was hoping that Amy would be writing her thoughts but unfortunately she is still not 100% with everything in her body so I am letting her sleep while I do this. Japan was a lot of fun. Our first normal place (for us anyway) as I had lived there 3 years and Amy had lived there for 2 years. So everything was very farmiliar and we had a long list of things that we wanted to eat and not a long list ofplaces we wanted to go see. We were so excited firstly as w...

Well this might be my last blog entry for a while as Amy had finished her Masters and is free to have a turn. I still cant believe she managed to find time and do it during our travels but she did!! Now she can enjoy the traveling experience fully without having to think about her next paper.

When we arrived a whole bunch of people were offering us bicycle rickshaw rides as they said there were no ta...

Once we arrived in Jhonsi, we were immediately driven to Orchha which is only about 10kms from the train station. It is a very old beautiful town that a Maharaja decided to build his summer palace at and in the end he only stayed there one night, then gave it away. Only about 6,000 people live there so it was very nice and quiet for once. They also let you walk where ever you like in the palace and we actually got lost a few times ending up in strange rooms. It h...
