23rd March 2018 So, the long journey into Delhi from Jodphur arrived on time. Delhi, my arch nemesis, a place that had knocked me over more than once. And here I was again. I arrived at Sarai Rohilla, not the main and usual station in Delhi, and had to negotiate an auto-rickshaw to the Paraganj, …
The journaling continues, the last three days I have been in Jodphur, known as India ‘Blue City’. Many houses and buildings are painted blue, and there is an effect when you see it from the rocky hills that surround Jodphur, but what puts Jodphur right on the map is the fort to end all forts. …
Hi folks, continuing on in my journal/diary style blogging from my India/Sri Lanka tri, here’s the lowdown from the last few days. Sunday 18th of March Dawn arrived in Jaisalmer.

Hey everyone, hope you’re having a good weekend! I thought I’d let you know how things are going in preparation for my heading to India and Sri Lanka in four weeks’ time (YAY! Getting close!)
