Today we set off on the final leg of our trip – although it is by no means over. We left Periyar for Cochin which is about a five hour drive through...

We thought the Chinese fishing contraptions where now just a tourist prop and that the fish had been bought in from the local Billingsgate :-)
The drive today was about one and a half hours from Cochin to the jetty where MV Vrinda was docked and waiting for us. The ship, when full, only has...

Sounds fascinating David. Looking forward to your return and seeing your new dance steps.
Today we had a four hour drive from Madurai to Periyar through some of the most fertile countryside that I have ever seen. The fields were constantly...
Today we were back on the excursion trail with a tour of the city. The tour started, obviously, from our hotel from which it was but a short walk to...

Brings back memories, could still kick ourselves for not having afternoon tea in the Palace :-(
We set off this morning from Jodhpur for the seven hour journey to Udaipur. About half way there we stopped at the Ranakpur Jain Temple – this is one...
Chhatra Sagar is a man-made location which in the nineteenth century was created by a powerful noble of the desert by building a dam on a stream...

Sounds the ideal place to 'chill' I think after two hectic weeks you are probably ready to re-charge your batteries and you will no doubt be getting...
Our first excursion today was to see the sunrise on the Taj Mahal but, once again, Indian logic took over. The Taj Mahal opens at 06:30 irrespective...

Been busily digging around our huge albums of nostalgia pics
Upon arriving at our hotel we were given a temporary room as, not unsurprisingly at 08:30, our room was not ready. After leaving our cases and bags,...

It does sound as though this was a very special day.
The day started off with an early morning call at 04:30 – deep joy! Our first task was to get to the railway station – not a problem to most but this...
So now we reach the evening “adventure” but before that whilst waiting for our guide we can see the guests arriving for what we thought was a wedding...

It all brings back memories of our very brief intro to India and also to how the H&S brigade have taken so much simple pleasure out of our lives.
We arrived after a semi traumatic flight. The plane from Manchester was delayed for about an hour due to the high winds which, in turn, meant that we...

Just catching up with your reports. Great start. Dubai airport is huge you must have been shattered by the time you got on the plane.
Just for research reasons you will appreciate last night at dinner we tried out some (wait for it) Indian wine and although expensive at

Yesterday we realised that it is now less than 100 days before we set off for India - in fact this time in 14 weeks we will be somewhere at the mercy...
Before we can go ahead and book there is the small point of having travel insurance in place. Now this is not normally a major stumbling block but I...

The point is though Ken that the people that I was buying the insurance through admitted that had I paid the £230 for the insurance then they would...
