I’ve been trying to write an update for a few days but power-cuts and loss of Internet connectivity are common in India and one or the other has always stopped me! Our train from Jodhpur was on only 20 mins late (not bad for India) and we slept soundly through the night, in fact a bit [...]
On Tuesday we arrived in the little town of Pushkar, about 200km West of Jaipur. The bus only took 3 hours and was completely full of Westerners, which was a little strange and felt a bit touristy after our previous bus rides. Its easy to see why Pushkar draws in the tourists though, its a [...]
I’ve been trying to write an update for several days but we’ve been very busy! We’ve visited three cities since we were in Rishikesh and seen some more amazing sights!
We took the overnight bus from Rishikesh back to Delhi, which wasn’t the most fun bus trip I have ever taken. The bus was an hour [...]
oday is only our 4th day in India but it feels like we have been here for ages! Its such a crazy country but we are loving every minute of it, everything is sooo different to back home! My bag arrived and was delivered to our hotel at 7:30am on Monday morning, I [...]
We arrived safe and sound in India, I was quite surprised how quick the journey took – 2 hours to Helsinki (an hour or so stop) and then only 6 hours to Delhi, arriving at about 11pm. The plane was quite cool so the heat hit us as soon as we stepped off the 30 [...]
Tomorrow we fly to India, very excited and apprehensive about the month ahead! Nice to have the backpack out again and have packed as light as possible! Check back soon to find out how we are getting on!
Hi all! Its been a while since I last posted on this site! I thought I would write an update as I am departing on another exciting trip! Before I get to that I’ll give you a very brief summary of what I have been doing since my 6 month trip around [...]
Time really does fly, its over a week already since I arrived back in the UK! Already I’ve seen lots of family and friends, returned to work, and been up to Manchester – which has made for a nice welcome back. Lots of mixed emotions still, nice to be back, but sad that the trip [...]
184 days gone, 1 day left – gutted! Time really does fly when your having fun! Having said that it seems like ages since I was last in the UK back in October, and even Asia feels like a lifetime ago! I was sitting on Copacabana beach today reminiscing about the last six months – [...]
We’ve spent the last few days checking out Rio, and have to say first impressions are that it’s a really cool place. Yesterday we walked the entire length of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. It was a national holiday so the people of Rio were down the beach chilling out. All good cept all the blokes [...]
