I've had mixed emotions every morning. On Sunday, I was heading to Delhi and then Heathrow and today, I'm not so sure. I have posted over 3 kilos of clothes back to the UK !!! You can tell I have never been to this country before. That should help with the weight of my suitcase. I had to take my clothes to a tailor who sewed them into a box. Then I went to the post office where I sat with the post master in the office behind the counter.
I've been asked to have my photograph taken with a very smiley Indian female in Punjabi dress and stopped in the street by about 10 women enquiring about the cast. Whilst the rickshaw wallahs wouldn't give a group of us a good price on Monday, you do meet simple kindness and sympathy everyday too.
If I move on, which I probably will, I will head to Dehra Dun which is higher up in the hills than Rishikesh, to catch the Ujjain express for the Taj Mahal in Agra. This leaves on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If I can avoid Delhi, I will.
Oh dear! You have been in the wars! The wrist sounds painful. You seem to be coping with this mishap very well though. Hope things get easier soon.
We're gearing up to the last night of The Sidmouth Folk Festival which has been briliant so far despite the rain and the mud (A walk in the park compared to what you've been through).
Take care
Joe
