1999 and I wanted to stay in the Ringo Guest House in Delhi. But it wasn't so simple. But then again, it's a good story and a very cheap place to stay!

Delhi – Through My Lens
Destination Delhi! My best pictures - that's what you're here for today! Regular readers of my blog will know that Delhi is one of my LEAST favourite cities in the world. But to be fair, it doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of interesting things to photograph there.
Why I’m Not a Fan of These Cities
Howdy all. I know I’ve talked about cities I didn’t particularly take a shine too, and I’m going to do this again today, but I want to look at why exactly. Some of these I don’t outright hate, in fact I’m more than happy to return to most of them if I need to (exception …
Cities to NOT Return to
Last week I resented a list of cities that one visit is simply not enough. I hate to go negative, but this week I thought I would go to the other end of the spectrum, and look at cities where one visit may well be MORE than enough! Lagos, Nigeria With over 21 million people …
Ultimate Rajasthan Itinerary (IMO!)
Hi there. Well it’s been ages since I’ve done a post on itineraries, so I thought I might as well look at my two experiences in Rajasthan and put together what I would recommend doing/seeing if I had a bit longer. Because it’s a large state and frankly slower travel in India is much preferable …

Revenge of the Tuk-Tuk!
Ahhh hello. Yes, the ‘humble’ tuk-tuk. I’ve spent a fair bit of time in them in my travels. A lot of fun, or a lot of hassle? Or perhaps a bit of both. I’ve gone with ‘tuk-tuk’, although in India I used to know then as an ‘auto’ or indeed ‘auto-rickshaw’. I’ve also heard the …
Surviving Delhi
‘Oh no…. it’s another post where Andrew bags out the Indian capital!’ – I know that’s what you’re thinking. And… you’re absolutely right! Sorry, I wasn’t going to go against every opinion about the place I’ve ever expressed and surprise you with an ironic post about how much I secretly love Delhi. That would be, …
