INDIA | Thursday, 6 Dec 2007 | Views [882]

Thursday 6th December Another day, another long bus journey. Having spoken to someone at a tourist information centre, I arrived at the bus stand in Jodhpur expecting a 'deluxe' bus - equivalent to a standard coach at home but usually in a more delapidated ... Read more >

Monday 19th November I had set the alarm for 7.30am but still wasn't sure as I woke up what my plan was for getting to Amritsar. The train seemed to be causing me more hassles in my head, so the bus eventually won out in the end. It turned out ... Read more >

Day 3: Delhi to Shimla

INDIA | Thursday, 8 Nov 2007 | Views [1003]

Thursday 8th November I didn't do a great deal in Delhi, just got my bearings and acclimatised as much as I could. I hope to come back in a few weeks on my way down south and see the sights with a bit more knowledge of the place. I booked a train ... Read more >
