The end of an exciting winter in India

So the season draws to an end and I am packed! All **kgs of it. I have had a fabulous time in India, taken some great trips and met some good friends. Hoping that I maybe able to go again for winter 2010 to finish the work I have begun and to take in some more of the culture and sights. We'll see? Anyway looking forward to seeing you in April when I am visiting the UK, before finally getting home to Crete and my lovely family. I have missed them and you ALOT! xx

A visit from Julie

Well Julie made a late visit for a couple of weeks holiday. A lovely surprise. We managed to fit quite a lot in, trips to the beach, visit to the south of Goa, Julie took a trip to a Spice Plantation, Panji and an interesting excursion by train to Karnatika to visit the Krishna Temple in Uduipi where the Beatles hung out and wrote Let It Be, an Elephant Rehabilatation Centre and the Tiger and Asian Lion Conservation Reserve. This was all within the area of the Western Ghats, so the road journeys were pretty hair raising! One climb had 14 hair pin bends on it and our driver did not take any prisioners. We finished her trip back at the beach followed by a last minute dash around the market. She headed off home after having a good and interesting holiday. Hope you enjoy some of the pictures. I will see her soon when I make it back to UK.
