Well its been a month now and I am actually enjoying India. Before I came to India I was told that I wouldn't like it. But once you get used to the terrible smell in some areas, the crazy roads, the cows, goats and dogs all over roads, its a nice place to be. My favourite place so far has been Goa, mainly because it is a lot more relaxed there in terms of tempo of life and rules. It is good for beer and beef, which it is difficult to get hold of in other parts of India for religious reasons. A pint of beer in Goa is 60p, where as in other parts of India, it has to be smuggled into the restaurant for you at 3 times the price.
We are now in Kochi in Kerala, which I like because it doesn't smell as bad as other places, and I got to ride on an Elephant, and I never knew how prickly they are.
Next we are travelling 450miles by train to Chennai (which is nothing compared to some of the train journeys we've had) for the final part of the India trip.
How cool are you on the back of an elephant. Nice to talk to you the other day, I'll try to call you again before you leave India.Carry on enjoying...Chrissy xx
