Checking in from Delhi

Hi all,

Very quick note as we need to catch our train to Agra and the Taj Mahal. We finished up in Bhutan yesterday. Very sad to say goodbye to Dorji. We miss him terribly already but spoke to him on the phone last night, which was quite nice. Since I last posted we traveled through central and eastern Bhutan. We made our debut on national radio (Kuzoo FM 105), found out that Dorji is in actuality a film star, visited a lot of beautiful dzongs and temples, and generally had a wonderful time.


Entering India

Yesterday was a mad dash across the border to Guwahati, India (driving here is truly like a video game), where we then caught a flight to Delhi. We are in an insanely nice hotel. We felt we didn't have fancy enough clothes for the restaurant, and opted for room service instead. What we got was a 2 hour dining experience complete with mobile dining table and candlelight dinner, and white-gloved servers. We followed this up with a hot bath.

It's now 5:20 and we are headed to the train station in a minute. We will be meeting up with Tony, a British traveler we have befriended (if we didn't know better we'd swear he was Michael Palin!) Visiting the Taj Mahal today and hopefully a (near) full-moon viewing tonight. Back to Delhi tomorrow and then home on Friday the 26th.

Love to all,

PS Always do your thing on Kuzoo FM.
PPS Love you Dorji!!
