20.3.26 Everyone who knows me knows how stir crazy I get and how much John and I pack into our trips. Today I’m going on a train ride. We were all going to go last Monday, then Tuesday, then I felt poorly Weds, Thursday no suitable trains other than an early one. Today’s the day….
3.3.26 Liz got up early, went out and was on a mission. In India they usually provide a bottom sheet and a blanket. Previous places have resolved it, 2 even had nice, thin white duvets. The others have a penchant for white bedding. As a dog owner this has never been even the vaguest requirement…
27. 2.26 This morning we took a right turn from where we’re staying and by accident discovered a shorter route to the beach. Liz spotted a pair of trousers she liked at the little beach shop, we ignored her and made sure she didn’t get a chance to go and buy them. There were very…

Breakfast was a special one at Zest, a very upmarket vegetarian restaurant. The menu was a baffling array of healthy goodies merged together in various combinations. I opted for…
11.2.26 Happy Valentines to my bed buddy Liz. We began today with a serenely peaceful and beautiful river trip with Pritesh, although I think he should be Romesh. We were out for almost 2 hours. We’d hoped to see monkeys but saw and heard a variety of birds. We had an excellent breakfast at The…
