Wow! It's taken me this long to add to the story... Sorry about that.
After our whistle-stop tour of Rajasthan (7 cities in 12 days!) and a day and a half in Agra (fantastic Taj Mahal, but was it really built as a monument to love?...), we are now in Varanasi (Very Nicey indeed!). Our train here was delayed by 7 hours (is this possible?) and yesterday I had my first attack of Delhi belly, but today everything's looking good.
Varanasi is an attack on the senses. Saw cremations on the Ganges yesterday evening, took a lovely boat trip in the moonlight with a very friendly boatman, watched a religious ceremony as part of Holi from the river, and waded through piles of cow shit and rubbish to get to a restaurant... Phew!
Luggage got here safely, Jo, just 24 hours late. Kind of wish it hadn't, cos I've got far too much stuff. Should have packed half...
Sonia: tengo muchas cosas que contarte. Te echo de menos, pero pronto nos veremos en Granada. Un besazo x
That's all for now. Off to discover more of Varanasi now. Probably won't have time to write again, but you never know...
Namaste!
