Here I am in Starbucks in Bangalore using their Wi Fi as our apartment has no electricity! We've booked trains, planes and hotels including a 7 hour taxi journey to the border in Nepal!
Yesterday we met Janet and Nelson who have moved to Hosur ( Tamil state) with their 4 children. She is the only white (blonde) woman in town and is getting used to the stares from the locals. They have a heart to reach the mums in that area. It has a huge infanticide problem-one lady has either buried alive or suffocated all her 8 girl babies. They are going to start a mother and baby clinic with the hope of educating the women there.
We had lunch at the Smokehouse Deli where Jon had the best steak he's ever had, yes in India where they don't eat beef! The meat came from Australia.
Justine and I are about to shop for our wedding saris! We've heard that neon colours are all the rage! I will post photos- internet permitting.
On Monday Jon and I start our travels, it's been great getting used to the Indian culture here in Bangalore. Next stop Vizainagaram which is a fishing town on the east coast. We are going to be doing outreach to small villages, I'm excited!
