Greetings from India! This place is upsidedown and backwards. What a crazy ride so far and we have been going at it for just over a week. We spent the first bit down south on the beaches on Goa, then we headed inland to see the ruins and Martian-like landscape of Hampi and after thousands of kilometres of travel by plane, train, car, bus, rickshaw, bicycle, boat and foot, we have found ourselves in Varanasi.

Varanasi is the oldest living city on earth. It is the holiest of places for the Hindus and sits on the banks of the Ganges River. It is a wild, bizarre and wonderful city. I can't even begin to describe. Tomorrow we head to Delhi and then hopefully, we are heading to Rajasthan to see the cities of Udaipur and Jodphur. After that we are planning to find our way to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, then spend our last days in Delhi.

Our stop over in Amsterdam was pretty chill. We have a pretty good handle on that city now. One of the days, surprisingly, we spent more time in a Belgian ale house getting drunk with a local than in the coffeeshops. But don't worry Colin, we did you proud at the coffeeshops we did visit! I am looking forward to our one night stop over on the way home...like a kid in a candy store!

Take care fellas. And I'll try to post again soon.
