Well, we are of to sunny or rainy india tomorrow . After 3 months in aus we decided instead of working lets get back on the travelling trail. Its going to be a big slap around the face with the culture bat but thats what we are after. Flying in to mumbai 6pm wednesday. We haven’t got a clue what or where to go but I guess that will sort its self out when we get there. It kind of feels like we are leaving again for the first time and heading out to craziness. Looking forward to a lamb samosa and kingfisher beer chaser! If it all gets abit much we are going to head straight to goa for a 2month beach chill down and kingfisher chaser.
Australia has been good, not what we expected, but then not sure what we expected. The best experience was buy the van and living like tinkers for the last 2 half months. Most of the people we met with coffin dodgers in caravans but you know they have interesting stories to tell. Fraser Island was cool, alot of people had told us to head there and it was well worth it.
Its been quality staying with some old friends I haven’t seen for a long time. We have eaten some strange stuff on our travels but I think aus so far has it, maybe the old minds got back into the western way but vegiemite and cheese sausage? They are an aquired taste, I personally found them better cold. Best beer in aus, I would say Tooheys new or tooheys extra dry, good beers. Best slang words would be ” No dramas” its cool don’t worry about it or Bogan, which translates to a good old british pikey chav.
Well thats about it, bit gutted we are missing japan but where we are heading to is going to be just as mad
Regards to everyone

Blimey. I thoght this was where old blog postings went to die
India should mix things up a bit for you. The Taj Mahal is probably worth a visit if you’re in the area. Other than that I’m probably not best placed to comment. All I really remember is a complete stimulation of all my senses. Loud colours and noises, strong smells and a cozy interpretation of personal space. Get used to that and you have a massive country to play with. Huge sprawling cities, beaches and stunning mountains plus all aspects of human life. Have lots of fun and remember how far a discreet “backsheesh” (aka bribe) can get you!
