This morning we woke up after a rather dodgy night, still very tired and Hannah still feeling a little weak, but we were due to move onto a new hotel to start our tour! We finished packing and left Hotel Ajanta at about 10.30am and finally arrived at Hotel Ashu Palace about an hour later after our driver got lost! We had a lovely room with a window, such a treat! We met our tour guide, Manu at about midday and the other 13 people on tour, and although they were...

We were clinging on for dear life sat at a stupid angle with nothing to hold us in and no foot rests, and the roads which are...

We've arrived! It's brilliant, such an amazing place but we definitely are still having a culture shock! The flight was really good, very tiring because it was delayed as they de-iced the wings so we didn't leave til gone 10, so we had our food about midnight english time.
