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”
It starts
Well I’m here! The backpacking journey of a lifetime begins here, with 14 hours or so in Gatwick Airport. Always fun! Most of the 14 hours was spent lounging in the shop and food area of the North Terminal. I tried my best to stay awake and stand watch over the luggage but I wasContinueContinue reading “It starts”
Thunderbirds are gooooo!
Today the Indian Visa came through. Woohoo!I’ll start at the beginning as it’s the best place. Last, last Friday I ventured to London to finalise the Visa process in person. Overall I was very happy about everything, even though I’d filled in all of the forms wrong and generally mucked it up! The very lovely and helpfulContinueContinue reading “Thunderbirds are gooooo!”
