About This Blog
Welcome…
to our blog about 2011’s trip to India. After our trip in 2009 we couldn’t wait to get back to India, to visit another part of a country we’ve all grown to love.
Last time saw us flying into and out of Delhi and having a car/driver chauffeur us around for 10 days before we grew braver and did our own thing. The driver also took care of the hotels, making it a very easy introduction for us all. If you’re interested to read about 2009’s trip then have a look at the Big Cats and Holy Ghats blog.
This time it’s different and it’s all down to us. We’re flying in Delhi and out of Mumbai and we’ll take in a route of nearly 2700 miles, virtually all by train, including 3 overnight trips and 5 day time ones. Suitcases are banned as it’s so much easier getting on a train with a rucksack than with suitcase in each hand.

Videos – quite a few of the posts have videos too: posts with videos
Diabetes – I always guessed we’d have quite a lot to say about Amy’s diabetes management in India but it turned out we didn’t, nothing was too different.
Here’s some posts containing diabetes stuff.

I am glad that I have discovered your blog!
Thanks Mridula. I doubt it’ll be as interesting or as post filled as your own blog but on the plus side it will be short lived and will stop at the end of this forthcoming trip to India.
Looks like far too much effort going to India if you’ve gotta set up all this stuff. Think I’ll stick to FBC (they’ve already got a website set up). Anyway, have a nice time, even if you are blogging, poking, twitting, whatever. Looking forward to seeing the skinny Winchcombes on return. :-0
I forgot to say, it’s a shame you didn’t take up the challenge of tweet-hiking your way around India, you could’ve been out there for months. Oh, you are! Tip, you’re gonna get ill at some point, so just go with the flow!
