Well almost a month into our travels we are now in the mountains about 6ooo feet. Its beautiful, cold, traffic free,and relaxing. This morning we walked up to meadow which had views on both sides of the himalayan range. Still trying to catch up with where we last left off - I think the last blog ended with Jaipur.

We got to the outskirts of Delhi where seni stopped several times, opening his bonnet! The fan belt had ...

Firstly - if anyone else asks or says to 'oh but you look like an Indian!!' I'm going to .......... Well suggestions for an answer would be welcome! Well today ended up being a day of travel planning for the next two weeks. We went to New Delhi this morning in a tuk tuk which was a bit hair raising to say the least!
