A brief summary of interesting tit-bits

We saw a Bollywood film being filmed in Jaipur and a Kollywood film in Khatmandu.

Our cheapest meal yet was an Indian Thali (a set meal of two curries, rice and naans) for about 25 pence in a train station outside of Agra, but paid for dearly in fear pennies (fear for our bellies and my own personal fear for the vulnerability of my neck - thank you Fog) as we ate the entire meal being stared at and circled by two giant rats.

The best toilets so far were in the Observatory in Jaipur (a collection of giant sculptures and what-not to tell the time and read the stars) because they were not only very clean but had a deluxe shower head instead of a jug. The vote for the worst toilet is still out. The rat infested (same train station as the cheap Thali) ones could be peeping ahead.

Our best hotel has been Pokhara. Three pounds between us and it has the most amazing hot shower. Though luke warm when the electricity is down.

The best (it is so brilliant it truly has to get a second mention) saying: "Don't wurry chicken curry"

Our longest bit of travel: 43 hours

Longest time without changing underwear, showering, or brushing teeth: 50 hours

The longest time to travel two metres: 20 minutes. An Indian man insisted that we posed for photos with every single member of his family.

Amount of times we've been conned: 1

Amount of times that people have tried to con us: Thousands

Amount of people that have physically laughed out loud at how white we are: 2

We've been invited to one wedding, which we couldn't go to because we were in the middle of our 43 hour trip, couple with the fact we were invited after about a two minute conversation and added to by the fact we weren't sure whether the man on the train with a gun was friends was a part of the wedding party or not.

We have an invite to the house of a the first couple that we've met that seemed in love. They were extremely cute together and equal, despite the fact that they were niece and uncle. We're hopefully going to stay with them to learn how to make curry in Goa.

I've tried twice to pretend I know something about cricket to blend with the locals. I failed both times after about 5 seconds.

I think I've eaten Fog-friendly doughnuts, but I think the only way this could be confirmed is if he ate them.

We've risked a few fruit smoothies - bellies are both fine.

I like going to the toilet by candle-light ( a frequent occurence in Nepal). It makes the whole experience a lot more romantic. I'm not so keen on going to the toilet in the dark.

I think that Pokhara is a crazy mix of a beautiful landscape with a paphos-like touris town attached.

I think it will be a shock to go back to India.
