But just to recap, on our last day in Mumbai we took a ferry from the Indian Gateway to Elephant Island, about 9km outside Mumbai. ... Now we're in Hampi for a few days and heading towards the south. ...

I went to my acquaintance’s mehndi party the other day and so my hand at least is intricately decorated with deep red henna ornaments.Landing in Delhi is like coming home. ...

Sorry for being a bit rubbish so early on during our trip but we'll post a proper entry soon - just wanted to upload the photos (which takes lightyears) and let everyone know we are alive and well tanned and not burnt, and still no stomach bugs.Sorry for being a bit rubbish so early on during our trip but we'll post a proper entry soon - just wanted to upload the photos (which takes lightyears) and let everyone know we are alive and well tanned and not burnt, and still no stomach bugs....

Nov 2, 2009 - Darjeeling
Darjeeling (population of ~110 thousand) is a stunning town full of colonial-era buildings nestled into a green hillside and overlooking the Himalayas which are dominated by nearby Khangchendzonga (3rd highest mountain in the world). ... Though the best views we've had in India were from Tiger Hill - a high point above Darjeeling that gave us views of a huge expanse of the Himalayan range, including Mount Everest. ... Very interesting! We also took high-tea in the oldest hotel in Darjeeling which is a beautiful relic from the colonial past. ...

Oct 31, 2009 - Gagging for Goa
Well hello everyone!!! This is our final night in Mumbai, before we go to meet our friend Tracy at the airport and head down to Goa, for three weeks of sunbathing and parties. ... The last few nights in Mumbai have been great, we have eaten and drank at some nice establishments, in the company of our new friends Katie and Sean, having a great laugh mainly at our Sarah's drunken antics. ... Fabulous!!! Sarah and I have indulged ourselves in the beauty of chocolate, as we found the most amazing cake shop which can only be described as chocolate heaven, and also serves the best coffee according to Sarah (Brew and a Bun, how quaintly British we are!) Well I am sorry that this is short and sweet, but that's all there is to tell after our last epic entry, but do not be concerned I have no doubt there will be more tales from when we are in Goa.Well hello everyone!!!
