India 2010

Well it's into May and cannot believe that I've been home 10 days already. India ia a pretty amazing country, nothing is ever easy but in the end very rewarding and never boring. I left Udaipur on Apr 26 and flew to Delhi for one last night in India (had sort of forgotten how crazy Delhi could be, especially after the laidback easy going Udaipur). Hint when flying out of Delhi make certain you spend or exchange all your rupees before going through to the departure lounges as you cannot spend them in duty free unless you are an Indian. Good thing I didn't have a lot of rupees left. I flew to London the next day and Heathrow was unbelieveable, it must have taken me at least 2 hours to get through Immigration. Finally made it to my hotel, had time for quick shower and John and Tracey showed up. We hit the bar in my hotel and I had my hamburger finally (6 months with no red meat was probably good for me) and I must say I really enjoyed it. Then Sophie arrived and we had a great time catching up, in fact we did close the bar, the bar man went home but said if we wanted more drinks just call the night manager (good show). It was wonderful to see the three of them again, we had met on the Cuba trip. I am posting a few more pictures, hope you enjoy,
