Waking up this morning with sunburn was not a pleasant feeling. Nevertheless, I got up and packed the last of my belongings, bound for breakfast and one last meal at the lovely ‘Milkman Guest House’. Walking the short distance to the Bus Station thoroughly wore me out after yesterday. To be honest, any physical activityContinueContinue reading “India: Braless to Bundi on a Blueline”

India: The Saraswati Temple
The Saraswati Temple was my destination today. It’s a hilltop temple about an hours walk outside of Pushkar. I managed it in about that (I think). The Temple is up a LOT of stone steps and I was shattered when I got to the top. I did have to keep stopping at regular intervals asContinueContinue reading “India: The Saraswati Temple”
India: Pushkar
I got the bus from Jaipur to Pushkar. I managed to overstay at the hotel (by this I mean that I thought that the check-out was 12 noon, but really it was 10am) and then getting hassled by some Auto Rickshaw drivers. Really I just wanted to find an internet cafe and then find someContinueContinue reading “India: Pushkar”
India: The Pink City
Today I woke up after spending a large chunk of the night listening to the storm that has been raging! It began with some light rain that got heavier as the evening progressed and then developed into a full blown storm into the early hours of this morning. There’s been thunder and lightning and everywhereContinueContinue reading “India: The Pink City”
India: Jaipur Belly
Today I have been ill. I shan’t go into great detail, as I’m sure you don’t want to know. Let’s just say that it’s not pleasant and I haven’t wanted to go away from the hotel room much! On a more upbeat note, I have monkeys outside the room. I tried very hard to getContinueContinue reading “India: Jaipur Belly”
India: Jaipur
Waking up bright and early at the spritely hour of 8am I packed up my bag and taxied it to the bus station. With mere minutes to go until it departed, I managed to get onto the correct bus headed for Jaipur. This would cost ₨730 and take six hours. When I arrived onto theContinueContinue reading “India: Jaipur”
India: India Gate
Today I had breakfast at ‘Sam’s Café’ (very Indian…lol). I had Onion Rings and Chips and it took AGES to come! The onion rings were very nice; they were battered in the same sort of batter that onion bhaji come in back home. I had planned to go to India Gate but the Auto Rickshaw manContinueContinue reading “India: India Gate”
India: Red Fort & Old Delhi
I tried the Metro today. It cost a mere 12 Rupees (roughly about 15 pence I think), was air conditioned and very easy to use! The Metro in Delhi has special carriages for women only. It’s easy to notice that those carriages are pink. Upon getting off of the Metro, I was immediately besieged byContinueContinue reading “India: Red Fort & Old Delhi”
India: Slumming it
Unfortunately the first hotel was only booked for one night. As they were all booked up, I had to move on to a new hotel. I was incredibly sad about this, as it was such a welcoming place, with happy friendly staff who are really willing to help. The morning I was due to leave,ContinueContinue reading “India: Slumming it”
The First Night in India
The first hotel “Master Guest House” is AMAZING! It has well decorated and extremely clean rooms that have been placed around either an open terrace or a communal living room area. The rooms have large, extremely comfortable beds and bathrooms attached (well mine did!). When I arrived I was told to rest in the communalContinueContinue reading “The First Night in India”
