Bill and Lynne (friends of Mike ) have just completed their stint in India (part of a world trip) and made me laugh with their account. Really well written, it brought back some great memories - although I have to say we unfortunately didn't experience it in quite their style. I don't remember any marble bathrooms or "roofs lined with silk" from the hotels where we stayed - although the squalid backpacker toilets do come to mind all too swiftly! I'd love to go back to India one day but I don't think Ally shares my enthusiasm. Perhaps if I convince her we'll do it more like Bill and Lynne, I'll be able to convince her!
Yes, G. It will take some really good plans before you get A to India again. After her last trip she found even Durban a bit much. I think that it was the camel excursion and seeing people brushing their teeth at the side of the road that put her off.
ReplyDeletei think it also had something to do with projectile vomiting off the back of the camel in the desert. Oh well, maybe 5 star luxury will help entice her - though i hear even then you're not assured of escaping the Delhi Belly :(
