So we arrived into the futuristic city of Bangkok in the late evening and took a sleek AC taxi across town to the infamous KoSarn Rd. After trudging through a hoard of party travellers stubling through the market, bucket of SamSung Wiskey and coke in hand, we found a cheap cheap guesthouse just off the main road, but close enough that Lady GaGa would always keep us up untill 4am! Bangkok was such a change from India and Nepal, I knew it was going to take a whil...

We were taken to another place anyway, and as it turns out it was pretty nice! Right on the beach and a swimming pool - a luxury for our travels! The beach was lovely, warm sea, and people frolicking all over the place. So needless to say we chilled pretty ha...
OK, so I've been pretty rubbish with writing on this blog. Partially due to the lack of speedy internet cafes, and partly lack of effort on my behalf! There are now, however, some photos on facebook, since it seems much easier to upload from there. As such, I have now left rajasthan...so will now do a fast update on our travels there. Who knows, maybe by writing it in this way I will convey the whirlwind nature of our journey thus far?! Day 1: Agra. Agra only r...
