Final thoughts for India
One thing that we have failed to mention in all of our updates is the temperature in India, it was hot hot hot, the last three weeks were consistently mid to high 40’s about 115F in old money.
Delhi, we started to feel a little guilty that we were not going to spend anytime in the capital, but having spent an hour driving to our hotel on the second to last day all those feeling disintegrated, Delhi is just as ugly as the rest of the country.
Oh yeah, and a odd thing that happened in Agra, Indians are bad for staring at people but Agra was even weirder, it seemed that Heather was some sort of celebrity, we had people asking to take her photo, posing with them and their children. At first we thought it was both of us that they wanted in the picture but it soon became apparent that I was of no interest. We decided that Heather must look like some token white Bollywood actress that they recognize. I’m not bitter, I didn’t want my photo taken anyway; they could have at least pretended to be interested in me, now I know how Posh feels.
Thailand
So we left for Hong Kong late on the 4th, but we had discovered a few weeks earlier that there had been a slight ticketing error, which meant that we would have to spend a day in Bangkok, not a great hardship!! We had a very busy day indulging our western needs (they have Starbucks) and shopping for knock off dvd’s and cd’s. After a hectic day we deserved a little pampering so we booked into a spa for a massage and hot compress. Then it was time to meet up with our friends Kate and Kris who are working out there at the moment. Unfortunately they were a little late and we had arranged to meet them in a bar, so of course we had to drink while we waited, and because they were late we had to then stay out extra late to make the most of our time with them. This unfortunately led to a great deal of drinking and I think we rolled into our hotel at 2.30am and left again at 5am for the airport. It was great to see friends but the after effects were not pleasant, and I left a part of myself in Bangkok internationals toilets!!!
