This blog is about travel. Not your regular type of travel: "Great beaches, supah hotels..." Oh no - this is a very personal, somewhat quirky insight into the country, region or city visited; an off-the-wall look at people and places, customs, attitudes, traditions, food; and lots of pix! So climb aboard and learn things that you maybe didn't know. Send me your feedback - if you've been there and found it different to my view, or if I've given you a new perspective. Time for take off:

India-Journal 1
Here are a few pix - I can't upload too many because they are high res and quite heavy, but they should give some idea of what we've seen.
(Click on the pix to enlarge)
The first is the street outside our hotel in Delhi...
Second - the Gandhi Ghat (Delhi) - the site of Gandhi's cremation
The beggar girl and sibling on Kolkuta station - holding the paper pencil and sharpener Marlyn gave her - this child could read, write and draw beautifully!
The dawn sun reflecting off Mt. Kantchendzunga (sp!) seen from Tiger Hill outside Darjeeling this morning (23/10). We were there at 5:00 am with THOUSANDS of other people (locals mostly) - we even saw the tip of Everest in the VERY far distance.
More later...
