We are having an AWESOME time in sunny India!!! So far we’ stayed in Delhi for 4 days (which was frenetic and mental, but still an experience worth having), and now we’re in beautiful Udaipur in the most amazing family-run guest house. The house or 'haveli' in which we are staying is 160 years old and has only been modernised slightly to ensure that all the rooms have an en-suite bathroom. The owner Raju has a roof-top restaurant and all of the meals are home-cooked by himself, his mum or his wife. It is so chilled-out and comfortable here... perhaps we should stay forever!

Future plans:
We are going to travel around Rajasthan for the next 6 days before we move on to Mumbai. Our stay will end on Divali which is bound to be an amazing spectacle!!

After Mumbai we fly to Cochin in the south and stay there for week before we fly to Kolkata to Zeenat's grandfather's house (where her Aunty and cousins still live).

Reading materials:

I picked up ‘The Alchemist’ by Paul Coelho from Delhi (for about a quid) and I’m really feeling the ‘whatever will be will be’ and ‘follow your dreams’ vibes! I think this is the MOST relaxed I have ever felt (in my life) and being quite a stressy person, it’s an amazing feeling!
Hugh has been reading 'The Last Mughal' by William Dalrymple - an amazing account of Delhi in the 1850's. Thanks for lending us this Bhaia!
