Yes we are off again, to India this time. We are not very fond of February in UK although January hasn't been too bad so far. Anyway we were inspired by Alison Robertson's trip to India and during a particularly wet spell in November we went into Trailfinders to make enquiries. We came out with a plan of what to see on a four week stay. Don't go into a travel agents on a wet day---it's like going into a supermarket when you're hungry.
Tom has had a long term wish to take me there and share some of what he saw on his travels in 1969. I agreed to go as long as it was with some degree of comfort. The trip starts in Delhi with a tour to Jaipur, Agra and Varanasi. It's then back to Delhi and we are on our own to Shimla by the toy train. It could be cold in Shimla as there is usually snow on the ground in February so the thermals are packed but it will be a chance to chill out (probably literally) after a busy tour. This is followed by a plane south to Cochin in Kerala and a private tour round spice plantations, wildlife reserve, backwater tour on a houseboat and a couple of nights on the beach.
It all sounds good, travel advice has been sought and we are packed ready to go from Glasgow on Saturday 28th January.The kindle has cut down on books and we really have cut luggage to a minimum.
