Hi guys!
in manali at the moment so have a chance to update the blog! the last few days have been reeeeaaaaaly hectic! the bus we were meant to catch to manali was cancelled for monday morning because of a landslide!! so we had to go the next day instead! so we turned up at 1.45 am tuesday morning and waited.... and waited... and waited... a bus turned up but it was the wrong one - they said the next one would be along in half hour.... that was at about 3.30. so we waited some more... other people turned up - a tibetan couple & 2 french girls. when it got to about 7 am we gave up & went back to our hotel to wait for the travel agents to open!! the travel agent organised something really quickly & we ended up leaving at 11am on a minibus with the french & tibetan people!!! the journey was a disaster! was meant to be about 14 hours... took 26 hours in total!!! awful! was like offroading the whole way - soooo bumpy it was impossible to sleep! plus at about 5 pm - after stopping for lunch/dinner - we crashed!!!! dont worry, everyone is fine! iv just got a bruised derriere tis all! we went too fast round a blind corner & some idiot had parked there! so we swerved to avoid them & crashed into the cliff wall!!! scary stuff! we went even slower the rest of the way! plus we had to stop at like 3am the next morning so the driver could sleep for a couple of hours! when we arrived we had showers, washed our clothes (well tried to!), had some dinner & tried to use the internet - it was rubbish though so we gave up! then yesterday we went over to old manali to look around then to the hadimba temple - which wasnt very impressive! plus we forgot my camera! never mind! watched some tv in the evening and relaxed. we are getting a sleeper bus to chandigargh tonight (not sure i spelt it right!) then another bus down to haridwar! then a bus to ramnigar probably on sunday! so fun fun fun travelling!!! lol. still, will be worth it if we get to trek for tigers on elephant back!!! fingers crossed!! i think the plan is to go trekking on monday, then travel to varanasi on tuesday, some time here before traveling to agra, spend some time going to see the taj mahal etc then travelling to jaipur after that (hopefully to go camel trekking!!) then after this we will go back to delhi before returning home on the 5th of July!!! of course everytime i make a plan (have done about 5 now!!) they go belly up! so we shall see!!!
anywho, hope everyone is good back home! soooo looking forward to seeing you all!
love you all so much
bekki & dan
