• India… via Singapore! 🇮🇳✈️🇸🇬

    November 9 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    The adventure begins with a hangover that could probably qualify as a medical condition. After a gorgeous wedding in Canberra last night (questionable behaviour may have been involved), I dragged myself out of bed for a 5 am start and somehow survived the ‘groggy’ drive to Sydney. Coffee levels: dangerously low. Excitement level not what it should be!
    Now we’re flight-bound to meet Shaz and Ang in Singapore before heading to India. If we make it through customs without needing a nap on the baggage carousel, I’ll call it a win. And are we being followed!!
    It’s been a long day and a longer night.
    Scoot- squashy, tight and squishy spaces made for what seemed a long trip from Singapore to Trivandrum!
    Touchdown 10:15 pm. Bags to collect, customs to navigate and taxi driver to find!!
    Finally we drag our exhausted tired ( hungover) selves into the taxi. Bags piled high, eye lids heavy and the night quickly making way for the morning of the next day.
    It’s an hours drive to the ashram. In the darkness we make out green green jungle vegetation and all the sounds one might hear in such a space. The distant call of monkeys and night birds. It’s rained recently and everything has the fresh scent of jungle rains.
    After much fussing and navigating of the check in process we make it to our dorm. Totally spent. Totally exhausted and now we have 4.5 hours before morning bell!
    I’m out like a light!
