Finally managing to book onto a bus headed towards Mumbai, I set off with no hiccups (or sickness). Prior to leaving the lovely hotel, I made the executive (and not-so-sensible) decision to re-dye my hair. In a pure white bathroom this may not have been the best idea that I’ve ever had. It wasContinueContinue reading “India: Mumbai”

India: Ahmedabad
Today, after deciding that I felt vastly better that I did yesterday, I ventured out and tried to find a café. The one I found online was Zen Café, but I never actually found it! I did, however, find Subway, where I read the newspaper and watched Indian TV whilst gorging on what felt likeContinueContinue reading “India: Ahmedabad”
India: Travelling to Ahmedabad
The bus left at 5.15pm from Jaisalmer and on first glance it was actually quite nice: a double bed to sleep in and a great view…the bed was a little sweaty and full of sand but nothing a blanket can’t cover up! However, after a few hours I began to feel a little sick, soContinueContinue reading “India: Travelling to Ahmedabad”
India: Jaisalmer Fort and Camel Trekking
Waking up this morning was amazing…It was really nice to wake up on my own, and not by the light of the scorching sun at dawn, or from someone chanting or throwing things. I decided to venture towards the Fort and into the Museum. It cost ₨300 with a camera and only ₨200 without. InsideContinueContinue reading “India: Jaisalmer Fort and Camel Trekking”
India: Travelling to Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer was founded in 1156 by a leader of the Bhati Rajput clan named Jaisal. The Bhati’s, who trace their lineage back to Krishna, ruled right through until Indian Independence in 1947. By the 16th Century, Jaisalmer was prospering from its position on the camel-train routes between India and South East Asia. Under British rule,ContinueContinue reading “India: Travelling to Jaisalmer”
India: Mehrangarh
After waking up and nearly knocking myself out on a shelf in the room, I had the breakfast of champions…toast! Following breakfast, I took an incredibly hard walk up to Mehrangarh: hard because of the heat, which didn’t show any signs of giving in. I only walked for about ten minutes, but those ten minutesContinueContinue reading “India: Mehrangarh”
India: Travelling to Jodhpur
Today was woken up by what can only be described as someone throwing a metal keg down three flights of stairs! It was about 7.30am and I was not impressed, needless to say I did go back to sleep, however it wasn’t a good sleep. Taking an Auto-Rickshaw to the Bus Station I arrived justContinueContinue reading “India: Travelling to Jodhpur”
India: Udaipur Palace
I wanted to visit the City Palace at Udaipur, but was a little put off by the fact that you pay ₨75 entrance fee (which includes entrance to the museum inside) but you also have to pay ₨200 for every camera that you take in. First world problems I guess! As you walk into theContinueContinue reading “India: Udaipur Palace”
India: Today I have been everywhere
What a journey, today I’ve been EVERYWHERE. Beginning in Bundi, travelling to Chittorgarh and doing a spot of sightseeing before getting back onto a bus and travelling to Udaipur…phew…a long day. Setting off for the train station at the early hour of 8.45am was a little harsh as I was still half asleep, but theContinueContinue reading “India: Today I have been everywhere”
Inida: Bundi Place and Taragarh Fort
Today I went on an adventure! It was just like Indiana Jones, but without the whip…or the brave adventurer. I woke up hoping to eat some leftover food from my meal last night…but it was half nibbled…therefore I have come to the conclusion that the room has mice! My adventure this morning was up theContinueContinue reading “Inida: Bundi Place and Taragarh Fort”
