Jaisalmer...& camel trekking!

I think Jaisalmer is most famous for it's fort & Desserts....so those were the top of our things to do. Unfortunately we had a horrible start to our journey as on the overnight bus that we caught into the city from Udaipur Dan lost his shorts (they myteriously went 'missing' from the bus)...

Udaipur

We made our way to Mumbai on the train, and caught a flight into Udaipur which was so worth the money or else it would have taken us about 3 days overland to do the same trip. The Lake is what all of the guide books talk about. And it was beautiful. We visited the Palace Museum, and other...

Madras

Madras is now named Chennai. Most Indian cities changed their names when they became independent of British rule -- Cochin became Kochi, Bombay bacame Mumbai, etc. Like everywhere else in India it is very dirty, poor, polluted and smelly. The little rivers going through town smell like...

Palolem & Anjuna, Goa

We weren't sure what to expect of Goa to be honest, and although the beaches were nice they were not quite the idyllic haven we expected but nonetheless we had a fab time! The places to visit are pretty much the beaches as opposed to temples so we did that is style & became beach bums for about...

The infamous sleeper bus to Gokarna

We travelled to Gokarna on the sleeper bus with the lovely Zoe & Kate we met in Hampi. The plan, as we thought, was that the coach would take us direct into Gokarna. The bus driver however had other plans......so at about 1am in the morning we were kicked off the bus and transported to a 15...

Hampi - Meet the Flinstones!!

Hampi was amazing. From start to finish we absolutely loved it. I think it was good karma straight away that as soon as we arrived we met a guy called Ray who recognised our Stoke accents and then proceeded to tell us that he once travelled with a guy from Stoke who I only went to High School...

Bangalore - "Same, Same- but different"

Being a major city, Bangalore was very busy and very expensive compared to other places we'd visited so far. We checked into a hotel, as opposed to a homestay, which was probably the most plush place we'd stayed so far but we paid the price- about 4 times as much as we were used to. It even had...

The epic journey to Mysore......but it was worth it

We left Fort Cochin at around 7pm, so 2 rickshaw trips later & a Ferry we finally ended up at the right train station (our lovely Rickshaw driver took us to the wrong one initially, just becuase it was closer. Don't you just love them!) This was our first overnight sleeper train.....neither of...
