It’s far too long since I wrote anything, so once again I’m writing some memories of a recent trip before they fade away for ever. A quick weeks travelling before Christmas, roughly based on Turkey, was the plan but a little research from our favourite website, www.seat61.com, opened up a whole [...]

Delhi airport is enormous and very well organised – a far cry from the old place – and after a couple of very relaxing hours in the Business Class Lounge the flight was called for departure about 15:30 for a 16:15 departure. It wasn’t too far to the gate but the whole [...]

I decided to keep my room for another night, as the train to Delhi wasn’t due to depart until 22:30, but of course I didn’t want to stay the whole night. This threw Yogis Guest House into a state of confusion as they wanted to charge me half price for staying [...]

Well there’s not a lot to report about yesterday (Sunday) except to say how sorry I am that I left the peace and calm of Old Manali to be writing this in the Ajay Cafe – a little haven from the heat and chaos of Paharganj in New Delhi.
I took [...]

Today I decided to stay in one place – well almost. Superb breakfast in the early morning sunshine set me up for some walking but first caught up with some photo uploading, which I have been unable to do all week. The guys at the hotel are now getting a bit [...]

Looking forward to breakfast this morning I was greeted by the host and shown to a table on the balcony where the menu was already in place. He put on an apron and returned with the order book. Cheese omelette – no cheese. OK plain omelette. Sorry not possible. Pancake? This [...]
