Jet-lag...

Kovalam, India


After falling asleep at around 11pm last night; 15 hours later we woke up feeling rubbish as the jet lag has definitely sank in.

By the time we left our hotel it was gone 3pm and the day was almost over . However we still made the most of it enjoying fantastic Indian weather but before we knew it it was 2am and well past bed time.

Finally in Thiruvananthapuram!!

Thiruvananthapuram, India


Finally we have arrived in India after 27 hours non-stop-travelling.

Our second flight to Trivadrum we can barely remember as we slept solidly the whole way; fast asleep before we even set off!

To try and stay awake for as long as possible we decided to go exploring after checking out our new hotel and found a lovely little veggie restaurant after having a couple of drinks

before sleep…

Our odyssey begins with 26 hrs travel

Heathrow, United Kingdom


Indian efficiency started at Heathrow as Jet Airways called Flight Closing and we arrive to a queue of 200 passengers. In the rush we forgot to get suncream, oh bugger - bring on the burn !

We had a fantastic time...

Almost ready...

Oxhill, United Kingdom


Chris' new passport has arrived, it only took 3 days! Went to visa embassy and received our India visas in the post this morning... So after a couple of last minute items and a fancy dress party at Neil's this Saturday we're almost ready for India! How friggin' exciting!

P.S, Anyone want a Mercedes SLK 350??

Waking up back in the U.K

Rayleigh, United Kingdom


After a long flight which surprisingly not too bad as I slept the majority of the way we arrived back in the U.K. It is so cold! Just have to sort out a few things, getting Chris a new passport, selling his car and arrange our India visas before we fly again on the 7th November! Cannot wait!

Last day in Africa :(

Nairobi, Kenya


Today is our last day in Afria and we were both feeling really sad :( we just couldn't believe it had been 3 months already! We checked out of our hotel early and headed to the airport 10 hours before the flight was scheduled to leave feeling unsafe walking around Nairobi with our bags. Once there I was feeling pretty rough managing to be sick 4 times; once in the departures lounge, (hopefully not on anybody) resulting in Chris having to buy me a new t-shirt!

Carnivores!

Nairobi, Kenya


Today was unfortunately our last day in Naivasha with our new friends and it was such a shame as we loved being a local we just wished it could've been for longer!

So we did a little more exploring of the lake and fed a few monkeys bananas before going for a local lunch.

We had fried fish that cost less than a £1 and fed three of us! We then caught a matatu into Nairobi for 30p after saying a sad goodbye to Samuel and Catherine.


In the evening we took another matatu across town to meet Chris' god-father Denys at Carnivore's restaurant where we ate crocodile and ostrich!
