Sorry you have not heard from me in a few days! We have been on the road, first spending twenty-one hours on a train to Varanassi, then spending a very long and uneventful day in Agra (City of the Taj Mahal) and then finally getting comfortable in Jaipur the capital of Rajestan. I will go into some detail a bit later.
Currently we are sitting in the airport. The airport in Delhi waiting for our flight, which is only about an hour away, somehow this last day has gone quite quickly I wuomd have to say. The airport is small and it has free wifi so long as you have a mobile, of course I decieded in the last minutes to pack my mobile and so I’m writing this as usual in Word. Hopeully in Colombo or in Frankfurt I’ll have a bit more luck!
Tomorrow we will be in Germany! Jeanie is very excited and I’m in slight shock, I can’t really believe we are leaving already, it feels like a drea, the entire time here, as thogh I didn’t actually accomplish anything and as thogh we saw very little. Bu then, I always said to Jeanie that if she didn’t like india and wanted to leave that she only had to say the workd, I guess she said the word! We only ended up seeing the three cities I just mentioned and that was enough for her! I’ve always said this is a country one hates or loves, or for me tolerates. She knows her parents should never come here and believes she may come back one day but I have my doubts. I’ve held on to 500 rupees just for good measure, especially as I have my ten year visa and it’s only ten dollars. Otherwise I can’t see her returning. She said it was the weather, which has been truly unbeartable, as we went fruher north we stepped again in to the 45c hell and have been managing it better but it’s still painful, we are both a bit burnt and using talcum powder thoughout our bodies to keep the heat rashes down. Shes had a bad tummy as well for the past week and as you can imagine that has not helped! I keep trying to tell her it’s healthy but she’s having none of that!
Great update, shame you couldn’t stick around there, would’ve been nice to have someone on the inside to do recon. Does that mean you’re going to live in Germany??
