Ok so I’m back…..as promised to finish off my Calcutta expedition, (am currently about a week behind so this might be a long one, sorry;-) So where was I …..I had just survived my first Calcutta scamming, and was reasonable unscathed when I asked a man how far Chowringhee road was…he very kindly pointed to …
Ok so after being sick for the last week I had pretty much decided that I couldn’t face going to Calcutta, and would do a massive skip to greener pastures, aka Rishikesh. (Yes I will admit, all that comes to mind when I think of Culcutta are slums!) It was only after meeting and speaking …
Khajuharo Ok, so I now find myself in the awkward position of having all the time in the world to write and a mood like thunder with no inclination whatsoever to say anything remotely positive. (My glass is not half empty, its completely drained and I smashed it too.) If someone would be kind enough …
OMG … all of a sudden I have 11 followers!!! How cool is that? A whole 11 followers!!!:-) (although Kelly, I do hope you logging on with two separate accounts wasn’t a kind way of boosting my ratings? If it was…I love you!:-) For those that are new, I must warn you I seem to …

I have just realised that today is Saturday, and tomorrow will be two weeks since I left. How do I feel? Well if today is anything to go by absolutely emotionally exhausted. Everything is just so intense, and so full on all the time. I spent most of the day with a sore ear, which …
Ok, so just had the weirdest dinner with two Americans I met this morning! What is it with some men and their obsession with food??? How can you possibly have a whole conversation over food? I’m at a COMPLETE loss? OK, I admit it…..when I travel…I am not particularly adventurous when it comes to food. …
I can’t believe I am actually eating curry, and loving it, Anna Spanner would be well impressed!;-) So arrived in Mount Abu about an hour ago, much to the dismay of all my new friends in Udaipur….who couldn’t quite figure out why I wanted to go to a honeymoon spot? Trying to explain to them …
(I simply came to use the Internet and the “Evil tailor” opposite lured me into his shop again. Walked out 10 minutes later with another new pair of pants, at the discount rate of RS200 – Just for me!!! He knows I’m leaving tomorrow so I will have to take a detour so as not …
