After a very nice train ride during the day where we could enjoy the landscape of south India passing by in front of we arrived in Hampi. As you can see from the pictures Hampi is set in the middle of the country side littered with boulders. It’s a very nice chilled out place where Read More »
Our train ride to Delhi was pretty uneventful apart from the enormous amount of food consumed, course after course of yummy curry, all topped off with an icecream yum!
We were very fat and pretty sleepy when we drew into New Delhi train station at around 11pm. As we walked out into the night we were Read More »
We had three days in Jaipur. We had a pretty nice time in fact. And not just because I was able to watch England vs. West Indies live on telly every evening. BRILLIANT.
