Me and Sue are currently toasting our Century this morning. We've now been in India for 100 days. It's been a long and interesting ride. We've seen so much, met so many new people, and experienced so many new, strange & exciting things that will be both remember this experience for the rest of our lives.
Here are some of the highlights so far.
1. The first time you get off the plane. The place simply overwhelms you.
2. The wonderful hotel that now recognises us as the longest residents. We're now officially the Major out of 'Fawlty Towers'...Morning Basil.
3. The amazing majesty of the Taj Mahal.
4. Crazy traffic conditions. One rule. There are no rules apparently.
5. Holi. An amazing experience. Just how many colours can one man be?
6. Rajet. Our favourite Bar man in Delhi. He's looked after us both & always seems happy to see us. He almost has the drink on the table before you ask for it.
7. The Swimming pool. Yes work is tough & we're so far away. The luxury of a nice pool helps that somewhat.
8. The food. So many different tastes. So many nice places. Pan Asian (wonderful Mongolian BBQ there), Punjabi by Nature (holy c**p. How big is that prawn), The Kebab factory (and yeah it is nicer than it sounds), A touch of home cooking at Rob & Pooja's (Apple crumbel rules).
9. The odd drink or 2. We've had some excellent evenings out. The Lebanese Belly dancers were ok? Top nights @ TGI's (holy man them tequila massages). Ego's is always a good atmosphere. And they don't mind us bawling out some classics when we've had a few.
10. The Heat. It's getting hotter and hotter. At the moment it's 43 degrees. And although that sounds great compared to the U.K. believe me it's too damn hot.
11. Seeing Marsha and Dave arrive. xx
It's been a long few months sometimes but I have loved my time here. I'm off home next Monday, but I'm sure I'll be heading back this way again..
