Almost past the point of no-return and feeling slightly nervous about setting off again after 30+ years to 'do' the bits of India we missed last time. Visas and jabs acquired and flights arranged We have used an agent for the first bit - going to the Sunderban Tiger Reserve - the Rough Guide described a really complicated route involving several trains and ferries as well as permit requirements and other bureaucratic complications, which we weren't sure we were up to on arrival. Potential problem of groups (we are travelling round in a 'shared boat') being too noisy and frightening off the wild-life but we'll see how we get on and maybe try and get to the southern Indian reserves more independently. We've also booked the toytrain up to Darjeeling and a hotel described in the Rough Guide as living on its past glories - but hopefully with views of the Himalayas - we'll let you know.
So off at crack of dawn on Wednesday from London City airport via Frankfurt to Kolkata. Will try and do justice to this blog that Craig's set up for us.
Penny and Malcolm
