    The best route planners

    2 de enero de 2020, India ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    So.. Mumbai we didn't like so much.
    Too big
    Too overpriced
    Too polluted
    Too much contrast between extreme poverty and extreme richness
    Too little culture
    Too overpriced

    So we went down here thinking it would be fun for NYE, plus we were cold up north, plus we made a friend in Agra that lived there.

    The cheapest "nice" hotel we booked turned out not even to be in Mumbai but in New Mumbai which was 2 hours away from anything in Mumbai and with nye traffic would have taken about 4 hours with a very expensive uber ride. So we just had a nice night in for nye. Then we stayed in actual Mumbai to give it a proper chance but everything was still super far away! And everything was so expensive and not worth your money. So we quickly left that part of India. We will return to the south some day but probably skip GOA too as it will be the same story only more white people.

    Oh yea we did one activity which was supposed to be really good but with all the time and money spent on getting there it was again disappointing and we payed 600 rupees while Indians payed only 40 which is really the worst price difference we've encountered up till now. Nice cave, not worth the trip.    Leer más

    Back to normal

    6 de enero de 2020, India ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Ahmedabad was a far enough journey back up but we're so much happier here again! Small town, lots of chaos, cheap markets and friendly people. We are mainly really tired at this point from constant travel but still making the most of it. Went on a fantastic tour through the city.

    Learnt about secret passage ways designed as houses with even fake balconies made as a facade. And the squares having chalk boards to relay messages to the community. The architecture also ranged from Hindu, Muslim to Dutch, German and British. Not because of the rule but because the people of Ahmedabad traveled a lot and then brought a piece of that countries culture and architecture back. Super cool and all around 600 years old.

    Next stop is a dessert town more North and more cold so we bought some warm sweaters here too. Finally getting a bit better at haggling    Leer más

    Exhausted enjoyment

    8 de enero de 2020, India ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Our lack of rest is catching up to us, feeling a bit under the weather. So just resting for now. Beautiful desert town, with lunch within the Fort walls with amazing city view. Dinner also within the Fort in a tiny bookstore with a cafe in the back. Lucky we're at the end of our trip cause we couldn't resist buying a few books!Leer más

    Night in the dessert raaaahhhh

    9 de enero de 2020, India ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    This was the coolest thing evaaa

    With a lovely group of 5 including ourselves We took a jeep to an oasis first, then an abandoned village and then we got on some camels and rode into the dessert!

    Had traditional Indian snacks and some games of cards; some beers while watching sunset ; and a lovely thali for dinner around the fire. Had some cheeky rum and more games around the fire and then bed time. We slept outside on the floor, under a beautiful sky of stars and woke up to see sunrise with a cup of chai! Then a ride back to the jeep on the camels and then out for some lunch with our comrades. Nice bunch and really beautiful experience!    Leer más
