Wednesday 22 April 2015 Highlights: Fathpur Sikri (abandon city) , Abhaneri (stunning ancient water tank) and Bollywood! Today originally looked like a positioning day with a long trip to Jaipur but was it turned out that under played today’s stops in Fathpur Sikri and the Abhaner. We left Agra at 8.30 am with the knowledge we wouldn’t…

Tuesday 21 April 2015 Highlights: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Baby Taj and visit to the Marble Emporium. A massive day, probably the most impressive I’ve done on a tour excluding the Antartica trip. The city of Agra is an amazing place that the Moghuls, at that time led by Akbar the Great, settled in the late 16th century and…

Monday 20 April 2015 Highlights: The Paharganj slums, the children’s refuge, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sikh Temple, Jamaica Masijd (Great Mosque). The first full day of the tour turned out to be eye opening.

One of the great things about international travel is it gives you time to reflect. At least international travel from Australia as since we are so far away from the rest of the world you are usually going away for a while. For me this time it is 5 weeks. When leaving for a length…

Well my 17 April to 16 May India and Japan trip has now been paid for (now to pay off the credit card!!). I have a few free days in Japan so I’m currently looking into what to do, but Sumo Wrestling and a Robot Cabaret Show are looking likely (plus high speed trains). Tours:…

So next year in April I’ll be heading off on a 5 week trip to India and Japan which replaced the 3 month Africa and South East Asia trip I originally planned. The future for me is shorter 4-5 week maximum trips due to work requirements. The upside of this is more regular trips 🙂…

Unfortunately I had to cancel my Africa and South East Asia tours for late 2014 into 2015 due to work commitments and the need to keep my job 😦 But as one door closes another opens up and that is a shorter trip outside Australia in April to visit two places high on my wish…
