Translated by google!!! Udaipur is like 1001 nights in India and the most romantic city, we know. The many stately palaces have been converted into the most beautiful and luxurious hotels, the crowning glory is the floating hotel in the Lake Pichola. In the narrow streets of the old town to move not only people but also scooters and cars, and especially cows. Kristin’s birthday we spent at the tailor, choose fabrics and measure for a coat and a trench […]

Translated by google!!! In dense fog we meander up to Darjeeling, the Teestadt in northern India. After the heat in Calcutta we wanted to cool a bit. On the first night it was so cold that we woke up with a red nose. Heating? Far from it. The next day we moved on to 120 km away Pelling, the trip took five hours thanks to the excellent roads, switchbacks with knee-deep potholes. The small mountain village is not known for […]

It is not only all cooked on the sidewalks – a Dodge on the road is often necessary, but it is also all around garbage. India has a garbage problem, there are no trash cans and no garbage collection. And it did not bother us, is much more […]

Translated by google!!! We are the red beach of Kerala and listening to the waves. Not a soul as far as the eye. Only a few fishermen, the morning and evening to put out their nets. We take a walk on the beach and hunt crabs. To summarize, we do not get to them quickly disappear in the spray or one of the many holes before we even get near them. A few Indian children are curious to us and […]

Translated by google!!! We land in Bombay. The small square in front of the terminal is not very busy, very few people, no cars and only one lane leads to the terminal along. Unusually quiet for the airport a 16 millions. Heavily armed police officers guard the entrance and grant access only with a valid flight ticket. Where are the taxis we wonder? Under a white linen cloth pagoda are little blue toy car of an unknown make. Our taxi […]
