I know you all recognize this famous featured image of the Taj Mahal. Funny thing is I never actually knew what it was until coming here. It’s actually a testament of true love, as it was built as a tomb to house the emperor’s favorite wife (as they had many back in the day). I was memorized as I saw it. I couldn’t believe we … Continue reading Agra, India
We never intended on visiting Jaipur, but it was included in our golden triangle tour. After exploring all this city has to offer we were glad we made the trip and it ended up being one of our favorite stops in India. After the five hour drive from Dehli to Jaipur we were greeted with an amazing view of the Amer Fort and Palace. We … Continue reading Jaipur, India
After getting off the train there were many men that approached us asking if we needed a taxi. We were very happy we had already arranged transfers with the travel agent ahead of time. Our transfer/guide first brought us to our hotel called Aster hotel. It was a small nice room, but we were happy to have good wifi. The location wasn’t the greatest as … Continue reading New Dehli, India: Part 1
I was very wary of going to Mumbai because I have heard a lot of negative things. One of them being that people go to the bathroom (both number 1 and 2) right on the street, so therefore it would smell terrible. The other one was that it is so polluted that the inside of my nose would turn black. Thankfully I didn’t find either … Continue reading Mumbai, India
After seeing the north side of the state of Goa in Baga, we went to a beach about an hour south which is considered the “chill” side. That description fit it perfectly. Once again we showed up without a place to stay. Rob was nice enough to walk up and down the beach bargaining at beach bungalows while I waited with our luggage at a … Continue reading Palolem, India
The state of Goa was every backpackers favorite place in India that we met during our travels. We were told the north is where the partying was and the south was more chill. Seeing as we haven’t done any partying in a week to the north we went! We were told not to book anything in advance by other backpackers so you could negotiate for … Continue reading Baga, India
We didn’t arrive to India until midnight. Upon arrival we noticed we were quite the spectacle being stared at by the locals, we were told that white people can be somewhat of a novelty in India. We were picked up by our hotel shuttle, our driver even had a sign with Rob’s name on it – fancy! When we arrived to our hotel we were … Continue reading Kochi, India
When we heard the Thai new years wasn’t too far away we decided it would be worth it to stay longer in Thailand to experience. Besides we do love this country 🙂 We decided to stay right in the action on Khao San road. Our overnight bus arrived at 4 a.m., 2 hours early – typical with the crazy fast Thailand driving. When we arrived … Continue reading Songkran Festival a.k.a Thai New Year
Krabi is a big diverse province in Thailand. We decided to stay in the busy part of area called Ao Nang Beach. We were very impressed with our hotel called White Sands. It was very centrally located, had a nice big clean room, and a rooftop pool all for only $18 a night! The first night we decided to go on a pub crawl, since … Continue reading Krabi, Thailand
A friend recommended a nice and cheap bungalow with a pool walking distance to the beach. It was only $15 a night! It was called Lanta Sabai Hotel and Bungalows and had the best wifi connection we have had the entire trip! I highly recommend. We arrived late afternoon and already knew based on research what we wanted to do. We grabbed a taxi to … Continue reading Koh Lanta, Thailand
