Incredible India

When the ads appears on television saying Incredible India they are not kidding.

I spent an incredible ten days in India and loved every minute of it.

Although back in Australia I can speak with love and admiration for India, getting to it proved very long and difficult - a 20 hour flight is what I am talking.

Saying so long, farewell to Sydney, we board our Emirates flight from Sydney and get comfortable in our economy seats (believe me I was trying to be friendly with the travel desk to get myself a fee upgrade to first class but sadly there was no slow motion, victory music, while the travel desk handed over my first class ticket). Those dastards! :-)

So we fly Sydney to Bangkok, Bangkok to Delhi and I jump for joy (Jetstar style) for my first breathe of fresh air in 20 hours and curse the fact that at some point I have to get on another plane again!

So my initial reaction to Delhi... looks like Cairo. This only makes sense to me because I travelled to Egypt for Christmas and New Year and all I saw for about five kilometres was dirt, people digging holes, road rules ignored by everyone and a driver that insists on speeding at the speed of sound in his pseudo Holden marina (OK not the speed of sound but you get what I mean).

So how did I spend Christmas Day 2010, well I was half asleep and in desperate need of a shower. I mean desperate!!! It's one of those basics in life that being clean can make you feel 100 per cent, despite the fact you've slept for two hours and watched movies back to back.

Anyway I am digressing, so after meeting our touries (tour group) we headed off to bed and prepared for the day of Delhi sightseeing....


Come on did you think i would write all about India in one blog?

I don't think so
