Blonde in Bombay... 1

A week away from India and you tend to forget all the things that made you want to leave in the first place. But give me one day back and I'm antsy about the roads, dwindling in the heat and my tummy is waging an internal war with my dinner... suddenly 21 hours to NY does not seem like such a bad journey after all!

But then, if i'm honest, sitting in an packed up apartment, remembering what will always be thought of as those crazy years in India, i realise that if I actually face the fact that my next big flight will be one way outta here... i'm filled with sadness. What a wonderful place this has been.

Highlights:
1. Enabling Ma&Pa to visit the Taj Mahal
2. Watching the tea pickers in Darjeeling, in the shadow of the mighty Kanjenjunga.
3. Tuktuks, every day. Those guys work long hours and still only charge about 40p for a ride
4. Watching the girls at Sharanam orphanage dance, just because they love to...
4. Learning to appreciate the true meaning of food poisoning... who needs Atkins diet when you can have a friendly amoeba!


If you're a friend on FB, then you'll know today was a not a good India day. I trod on a dead rat, i fought with B and jetlag led me to start writing a blog at 3am! But fear not... my rose tinted glasses will be coming out again soon.

Bit more baileys, a nice snap of Kanjenjunga for those poor mortals who have not yet had the pleasure :) then time for bed...
