Sarah, BitBox,

Thanks for the compliments! BitBox, I hope you have a great time in Japan. I’ve never been, but have a few friends currently out there teaching English.

Steve,

I hope you can look back on the train encounter and smile. It’s those things that aren’t good at the time, but when no harm’s done, eventually you can look back with a grin. Still, rather you than me, and I know you’d love the beaches (not for too long mind).

Thanks for dropping by.

Hello David,

Nice photos, looks you had an enjoyable time.
My wife and I visited India in January and we did the ‘Golden Triangle’ tour. Unfortunately we didn’t have a great time. I don’t know whether the people are different in the North or if it was just the the way the tour was organised but it was a real challenge. On the train journey back from Ranthambore to Delhi I had a run in with a railway magistrate who brought an armed guard onto the train and ordered me off! He had actually used my shoulder to haul himself out of his seat and when I challenged him he scuttled off the train and brought the guard on. I said there was no way I was going anywhere and then this American guy intervened and calmed the situation. Really bizarre series of events

I think Goa and Kerala sound great places to visit and maybe next time we’ll just do a beach holiday! :-)

I’ve always wanted to travel internationally - further than Canada, anyway - and these are inspiring a lot of wanderlust. Your coastal photos … make the place seem more accessible, not quite as far away. They look somewhat familiar from having walked around the Atlantic and Pacific, although I’ve never seen a tanker like that…

Hi Jennifer,

They certainly are cricket mad. India is without a doubt the centre of the cricketing world. Personally I also find it slightly coma-inducing, but it was fun to watch that beach game.

I’m just back from a walk on the beach here in Scotland, and yes, the grey skies are wonderful! ;)

Hi David

Nice pictures, I particularly like the one of the kids playing cricket on the beach, it’s lovely. They are absolutely cricket bananas over there, aren’t they? I had never watched more than two minutes of cricket (without feeling I was slipping into a coma) before I went to India, but when we were there, the local people were so into it, it kind of becomes infectious. I even learned a few cricket terms.

So I’m sure you’re delighted to be back in Northern Europe with it’s grey skies ….
