Well after a lovely short flight we reach Goa. Yay. Couldnt wait to get to the apartment and go to the beach or sit by the pool. After being in Jaipur, Udaipur and Mumbai we really needed some chill out time. Unfortunately this wouldn’t be as soon as I thought. Collected our luggage and made our way to the pre paid taxi rank.

Oh … Continue reading Goa

We were shown to our room. the ‘Dame Judy Dench’ room. It … Continue reading Udaipur (ooo. dai. paw)

Well hello and where do I start? Day 1 After a long flight we landed in Jaipur. It is the capital of the Rajasthan state and is named ‘The Pink City’ because the city was painted pink to welcome the Prince of Wales Edward VII in 1876.   We managed to get a taxi and off we started on our adventure.  Well what can I say ‘OMG’. The traffic is unbelievable. On the roads you will find taxis, tuk tuks, lorries, buses, hundreds of scooters, cows and elephants (yes you read right)  all trying to get from A to B … Continue reading Jaipur
