Ahhh the memories...


Yes it's been a while since you've heard from us, but you know that can only mean we've been busy!  The holiday is over, we're back at work, found a house to call a home and have begun tackling the enormous job that is sifting through photo's.  But things are settling down, and we are finding the odd bit of free time. 

During these rare bits of free time we've started the reminiscing, telling a few yarns from our trip and going through the "do you remember the time when..." conversations.  To all those people out there who are still excited about the stories and some of the photo's stay tuned, the India 2011 slide night is coming to a town near you! And for those further afield or who just can't wait a day longer, then feast your eyes on the video below, a little snapshot of our trip!! Enjoy and please leave a comment, we'd love to know what you think!

Namaste India

Here we are sitting in Kuala Lumpur and its hard to believe that we're no longer in India!  Sure the city is completely different, the foods, the smells and everything else, but our bodies and minds still haven't caught up with the stamps in our passports!

Hello... Boat?


We've found ourselves back in the thick of India again, no more cow covered streets, dust covered everything or strange noises all through the night... Hang on a minute, yes there is!!  Varanasi, the ancient holy city of India has it all, including a similarity to village life!

India By Train

Now that we've left the mountains and their bone shaking roads and bus trips behind, we find ourselves enjoying all that India's famous trains have to offer.


Its one of the biggest and busiest rail networks in the world moving millions of people every day which really is quite incredible when you think about how unorganised the rest of India seems.  Then when you see the operating system they rely on, consisting of bells and big knobs to turn, and is probably still the original equipment left behind from British rule, its actually unbelievable!
