The last post. I cannot believe it! It’s a cliché but it feels like only yesterday James and I were planning our trip and packing our bags. We have had the most amazing time but alas it’s time to come home. The last few weeks have consisted of some painful Indian bugs in the stomach, bladder and eyes. But you know it wouldn’t have been a complete trip without them!
Since I last wrote we have spent a lot of time.. no I’ll rephrase that, all of our time on the beach in Goa. We were planning to travel around a bit more but the bugs got the better of us. We have been eating, sleeping and swimming and that’s about it! Oh and Canoeing, this became a favorite past time of ours.
We are now in Delhi and just as we arrived a very exciting thing happened (for us anyway). We were waiting to get our luggage and a familiar looking guy was standing beside us. It was Mark Thomas (the comedian/campaigner)! We got chatting to him (after doing the whole embarrassing, urm… excuse me... are you Mark Thomas? Ah we’ve read your book and seen you perform… we really like you..) he was telling us how he’s writing a book on Coca Cola… dishing the dirt basically… Very interesting.
Anyway like I said were in a hot and sweaty Delhi now, It brings back memories of being in Kolkata. After spending 2 blissful weeks in Goa it also reminds me what a harsh country this place can be, especially to the poor and lower castes.
We leave tomorrow and our last day consists of us freaking out every now and then.. We are trying to calm our nerves with a kingfisher and game of Yatzee. It’s not really working!
I cannot wait to see every one and catch up with you all… I hoped you’ve enjoyed reading as much as I have enjoyed writing!
So thats all Folk's... for now
