We found 7 funny signs and a few more that were a bit more lewd. We just had to share them once I had picked them from the archive! There is nothing like taking a girl you like on a date to a fancy looking restaurant in an exotic country and then being able to …

Masala: There are two main types of Indian Masala. People often get confused and think the concept is more complex than it really is…. Masala literally and just means “spiced”. In the west Masala is generally assumed to involve tomato or that it is a specific type of Indian sauce, but this is not the …

India…. it really is a world upon itself. You will never go anywhere that confuses, frustrates, allures and makes you want to scream all at the same time. The place tests your patience and yet is one of the most spiritual places on the planet. These contradictions are what make India, India. Even the Indians …

After an epic time in Omkareshwar we set off back to the bus station, in conditions that were much quieter than when we arrived. The journey back on the bus to Indore was a little squished this didn’t phase us now and we managed to get off the bus before the final stop, on a …

After a rocky start to our last part of our Indian adventures we set off on the 3 hr local bus journey to Omkareshwar. I was more than ready but I sensed and knew that Laura was not. She was an absolute trooper. We still do not know what the problem was exactly, but despite …

We felt sad rolling out of Varanasi as again this meant another section of our journey and another place to say goodbye to. Things are definitely closing in our India chapter. The rain began when we left the station and signaled that we were in the trough area of the monsoon. Bihar was now a …

We some how ended up in a jeep with the owner of Glenary’s, the very same place we had spent on the internet and gazing out of the window with a fine pot of tea. Well she bought it from the British and ultimately is now monetising it as much as possible. After we are …

Jeeps keep on getting more and more hairy. They seem to have been made my a mechano set with a bit of glue, without a clue. Welding here and there keeping things together. The heavy rain over the last week makes us a little more nervous, but after each journey we care less about the …

We finally left Pelling feeling recharged and ready for some more of Sikkim, as time was suddenly streaming along without signs of slowing down. It was a bright and warm day when we sat on the roadside waiting for our jeep to take us around the mountains once more, along dangerous roads and to somewhere …

A 6am jeep ride in the torrential rain was like being at Universal Studios, only on this ‘Wet and Wild’ ride you CAN die. The land was really saturated and we went past many landslides that had been cleared. At one point we went under a small waterfall. The goat in the back of the …

We were told that there was a share jeep that would pass through Tashading to Yuksom at 11am or 1pm. With luggage in tow we waited patiently on the side of the road waiting for the jeep. The 11am one was stuffed, no way would we be able to catch that one. So we continued …

Cruising along the Sikkimese country is beautiful mixed with fear. Boulders strewn across the road and recent slips degrading the road in too recent times makes things a little more distracting. Heading further and further into the cloud line we finally admitted that things were feeling a little ‘chilly’, something we said we would relish …
