At least this time we were able to shower and change before going for the flight. We stayed until lunch time so that...

Goodbye India?

The next morning we were up early to accomplish everything we had to before flying to Japan. First up was to check Couchsurfing to find out what replies we had from Japanese couch hosts and therefore where we would be staying in Tokyo. Unfortunately we still had no replies.

Bollywood Dreams Dashed

Back in Delhi it had also been monsooning and the streets of Paharganj, where we were staying, were even muddier than they had been on our earlier drive-by visit. Joanne was desperate to leave India now and kept complaining about the “disgusting filthy country”. Certainly Paharganj is not as...

Spooky coincidence in spiritual Northern India

Before we got the bus out of Manali, we took the opportunity afforded by being in New Manali for the tickets, to go into a Vodafone shop to try and sort out the problem with our SIMs. Not only had my credit been sent to someone else, but Joanne's had stopped working after just two days although...
