42 days (and curried breakfasts) in India

It's been a long week.......

I have just managed to create my first link on the blog, so hopefully, I'm going to be very impressed with myself this summer. I think that uploading images will be fun and I'm sure I won't 'get it right' first time.However, I seem to have expanded my ICT skills greatly in this one week alone. Travel is good.

Joe has helped me to upload the Skype software onto my USB and laptop so it's crazy but do-able - cheap telephone calls from abroad.

All the hotels I have emailed in Delhi have replied. Perhaps it's no wonder as the Weatherpixie is still standing in heavy rain and the temperature has risen to 30 degrees C today. As always, I'm undecided on which hotel to stay in. I don't think there will be much difficulty finding somewhere to stay so it's all about avoiding the touts and getting to my destination safely and in one piece. Roll on Monday.

The big departure

This much anticipated departure to India will commence next Monday 21st July 2008. I will be arriving early on Tuesday 22nd July 2008 into a monsoon swept Delhi. Although I have plans for the six weeks I am there I should anticipate that the weather, the general everyday experiences and the infamous Delhi belly will all probably have the chance to influence my travels and timetable along the way !!

My first post:

 

Welcome to my first blog !

The aim of this blog is to keep you informed as I travel across India this summer. Hopefully this will be of personal interest to my friends and family and of some educational use to colleagues.

I would not be able to do this without the help of my Head of the French department at school, Joe Dale.
