Flew to Mumbai, luggage lost, a couple of thousand rupees for our trouble, power cuts all night.
Night train to Mt. Abu, cool spot. No foreigners, had to shake hands with an entire tour group from northern India (100+ people)
Bus to Udaipur, scarier than bungee jumping. Floating palaces and Octopussy.
Jodphur, hotter and crazier than Satan on Ketamine. Fantastic fortress.
Jaisalmer: One of my favourite places on the planet. Ali baba meets Bollywood. Fortresss, hawks, camel rides in the desert after visiting Dr Bhang's Bhang shop (Government authorised!) - haven't laughed so much in my life.
Night train to Jaipur, getting to know your neighbours, sharing food and stories.
Off to Agra & for once a sight that is even better than its reputation. The Taj Mahal is just mindblowing.
New Delhi, more craziness and the a brief spell in the dirtiest hotel in the world.
Flight to Goa, unfortunately monsoon hasn't blown over yet. Arive in Palolem to find our beachside cabana has been bulldozed down by new over eager police chief...
India: Louder, Smellier, Dirtier, Tastier, more beautiful and all in all more crazy than you can possibly imagine. I love it.
