Jaipur, 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
New Dehli, India: Part 1
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
Mumbai, India
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
Palolem, 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
Baga, 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
Bangalore, India
I have been very frustrated with the Internet in India. But now that we were in the capital I.T. city we had a couple days to get some work done! We decided to get a hotel with a pool since it was forecast to be hot – apparently we are here the hottest time of the year and this is why there aren’t many other … Continue reading Bangalore, India
Munnar, India
I had to wake up Rob upon seeing the rolling hills of Munnar as they were too beautiful to sleep through. Plus that did mean we were almost there. We were fortunate enough to find a hotel for only $15 a night in the town! Unfortunately, it was on the 4th floor with no elevator – but nothing we haven’t experienced before! We were thrilled … Continue reading Munnar, India
Kochi, 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
Songkran Festival a.k.a Thai New Year
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
The Full Moon Party (part 2)
We had no intention of going back to the Full Moon party again, but considering I had the medical condition the first time, we stayed in a crappy hostel, and were trying to pass the time to make it to the Songkran Festival on April 13th we decided why not?! This time we booked the Lazy House Shenanigans hostel about a 10 minute walk to … Continue reading The Full Moon Party (part 2)
