I have decided that night buses in India are like lucky packets….you just never know what the hell you are going to get and the chances are whatever it is, it’s not going to be too exciting! Leaving Mount Abu on Sunday I arrived on time (as per stated on the ticket) at 6.30…only to …
….I’m still alive!
So just a quick update for all my followers that had a sleepless night last night due to my ear woes. (Namely my mother:-) Woke up this morning only to discover I no longer needed to touch my ear to feel pain…it was just plain painful. Checked out of my room. (Miserable) Ate breakfast. (Even …
and now….?
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 …
See a man about a dog?
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. …
When I grow up….

I’m in love….
So first my first full day in Udaipur, famously known as the most beautiful and most romantic city in India and it truly does live up to its reputation. I’m currently sitting in Internet cafe been periodically hit on the back by 2 adorable, but manic 4-year-olds! Thank God for small miracles at least they …
“Again, again …”
So arrived in Udaipur, North India today after what seemed like the longest bus trip ever. You have to be able to laugh at the Indian timekeeping. So it turned out that the South African couple, that I mentioned yesterday, did end up getting a ticket on the same bus as me. After gulping down …
Raj: My hero
Hello all! I don’t really have much to write as haven’t really ventured out in the last two days….just been relaxing at the hostel chatting to all sorts of people.

…..1000plus Buddhas..
Had a fantastic day yesterday visiting the Caves in Ajanta – 29 caves that were carved out of the rock by Buddhist monks over 2200 years ago. They are just incredible to see and the detail in them is amazing…..I can’t even imagine how long it must have taken to hand chisel them into solid …
