Oh, Ngaire, your travelogue actually makes me want to go to India. I always said I would never go there because of the huge masses of people in such poverty.

And, hmmm, I loved hearing about your being carried up the 125 steps by 4 men. I'll have to mention this to Bob when he gets home. We have a second floor, and it is sooooooo bothersome having to climb up to it all by myself. <wink>

Have fun! Look forward to hearing about that houseboat.
