….I’m still alive!

August 8, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill | 3 Comments on ….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….?

August 7, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill

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?

August 6, 2010February 18, 2024 | by Gayle Hill | 3 Comments on 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….

August 5, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill | 3 Comments on When I grow up….

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 …

It’s all in a smile!

August 4, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill | 5 Comments on It’s all in a smile!

(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 …

August 3, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill | 5 Comments on 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 …”

August 2, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill | 2 Comments on “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 …

…..1000plus Buddhas..

July 30, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill | 2 Comments on …..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 …

The squatting rant!

July 29, 2010August 25, 2023 | by Gayle Hill | 1 Comment on The squatting rant!

So decided to wear my special Thailand bought trousers yesterday, long and comfortable and an absolute pain in the arse to go to the toilet in. Honestly, the only time I really and truly hate travelling alone is when I need to go to the blasted toilet. Last night after missing my night bus, due …
