Well it's great that so many of you are reading this blog... I know you are because I'm getting so many questions :-). I thought it may be best to answer them all here as so many of you are asking the same things
Have I got sick? NO! I think this getting sick in India thing is overemphasised ! I have been eating all sorts of food in all sorts of places. Lunch today was in little more than a shack on the side of the road. It cost less than $3 for the two of us and included chai... What's more it was really good. I must admit I am fairly careful about the water but bottles are very cheap and we buy a whole carton for what we'd pay for one at home
Are you scared on the roads? NO! The roads up here are pretty bad but there's next to no traffic on them and everything goes slowly ... :-) not too much choice about that . Tarun is sensible .
What is the accommodation like? Good! Cheap! Only problem is the plumbing. I can't believe how these people are so clever at many things... but so hopeless at designing showers .... And making coffee :-)
Isn't it boring just driving through the mountains? NO! The scenery is stunning and there is so much to see on the way. I have seen animals ( a fox today), different birds, amazing little towns and farms , interesting people and most of all a glimpse into the lives of the people. I've seen men getting haircuts on the side of the road, kids bathing, people working in the fields and cooking their food... It's never ending and never boring.
Isn't it hard spending so much time with one person? NO. I did wonder if it would be but it hasn't been. Tarun is very easy to be with and we haven't had any problems.
Isn't it expensive travelling this way? NO!
Is this going to be my last trip to India? NO!
Hope this helps:-)
