20.04.2008 My feet feel weird Here I am sat in a huge comfy chair at Mumbai airport after 5 hours on plastic chairs and I feel like a 5 year old, these things are as big as sun lounges. All I have to do is look over my laptop to see my feet, my feet that are inside my Campers. I'm wearing shoes after 6 months and it feels ever so weird, I have tingling sensations, feel restricted every time I want to stretch my toes and wiggle them. After 5 days of suns...

2.4.2008 Mumbai is not that bad... I arrived in Mumbai late last night after a long journey from Varansi.

I did debate going in for a drink but I think I'll wait for Judith to do that. There was high human noise in the bar and I wasn't quite sure if ...

8.3.2008 Fresh from Mumbai Well, what a journey. I left Mysore at 6am, watching the world go by.
