Yeehah, I finally figured it out, with thanks of course to the trials and tribulations of a certain Mr. Teljeur. I mean I’m not dumb but no matter how easy he told me it was it just wouldn’t go in. But less of that now, This will be a long download but stick with me and I’ll show you the world…or at least Lids and I in India to start with…
So this was our first meal in India. Lids tried Palak Paneer and I tried Aloo Gobhi and it was the first of our ace attempts at dining on the unknown…

Bats at Humanyan’s Tomb. I went up this stairwell wondering what the noise was, then I took this picture in the dark. Indian wildlife

Raul and Tee, he wrongly believed it was meant to be, but he did have good taste liking my singing!
Auto-rickshaw, Janu and Lids: he apparently didn’t take this special gig out for anyone, but as he’s partial to white-western women like Lids he made an exception
Jantar Mantar, Jaipur, couldn’t figure out where those stairs were going

Ani and Sebastian, saviours of a kind, we pounced on em cos we hadn’t talked to any travellers in ages but they were good enough not to shoo us away
The burning Ghat, this is where the bodies of the dead who have enough money are burned in a ceremony, those who can’t afford are thrown into the Ganges

Ha ha, at last! You ain’t no dumb girl! Well, I know which side of my bread is buttered. Looking forward to more, I’m sorry it wasn’t easy enough before, but hey, that’s life (didn’t have no weblogs when I was your age, arrrr). Looks fantastic.
Can’t wait to see the next lot…
