Hello India

We have lots of lovely pictures to show you but after umpteen attempts in the internet cafe we just can't get them on the blog. Sorry. We'll try again later when we hit Goa. Anyway, Mumbai was fab! Having a great time & heading out to Goa tonight by train. More news soon ...

Chocolate Making

I was given a chocolate making course as my leaving present from work. Very good choice. Here are some of my creations. There were yummy!

Leaving the big W

I left my lovely bookshop on Friday after almost 11 years. Here (if it works) are some photos of the leaving do. Please forgive shaky camera hand.

Just checking in

It's coming around so quickly!

We move out of our flat in a week and a half. Our first 3 nights in Mumbai have been booked at Bentley's hotel & today we'll book our overnight train journey from Mumbai to Goa. It sounds ridiculous but because there have been so many practicalities to sort out over the last few months we haven't had that much time to just think about where exactly we are going to visit & what we're going to do there. Got some time over the weekend between boxing up books to read the India guidebook & plan the Goa section of our trip. It sounds so interesting. Can't wait! We get the last of our jabs on Wednesday morning & will sort out our malaria tablets then too. Must learn how to use the digital camera this week. I'll post some pictures as soon as we've mastered it.
