Hmm, don't think I'll be investing in a camel when I come back to London, they're not the most comfortable mode of transport. My backside hasn't been this sore since I left public school. My Swiss co-rider Stephanie and I were driven out into the desert by jeep where we met our trusty steeds...

mumbai by night!

I was in the city with friends for the first time. We were wondering what to do because we had heard from ‘trusted sources’ that the city has two sides. We definitely needed an insider to show us around. Well after a few misses on google we discovered mumbaibynight. After an awesome night of...

Camel Happy

Ah, peace at last. All my previous stops have had populations of at least 800,000, and within 24 hours you feel like you've been approached by every one of them. Jaisalmer only has 58,000 and they were all waiting at the bus stand when I arrived, so once I'd got through that melee, it got a...

It's the fort that counts

Long old day yesterday. Finally succumbed to an autorickshaw driver offering to take me round all day, but he was good value for it. So went up to the Amber Fort just outside Jaipur, then took in a few more sights, and finally to the train station for the 5.5 hour ride to Jodhpur. I don't know...

A teardrop on the face of eternity

Not my words, someone else's (can't remember who now). Caught the train from Delhi to Agra on the Kerala Express this morning which takes about 3 hours. It seems every train is a Something Express, but there's nothing very express about them - you can tell it was the British who set up their...
