Nineteen days to go...

Traffic Indian style!

When we woke up this morning, we thought that somehow we were already in India. From just outside our window, came the sounds that one is used to hearing on any busy street anywhere in India at any time of day or night - cars and trucks were racing by tooting their horns in a variety of melodies and the noise was non-stop! It took a few moments for us to register exactly what was going on...turns out that the hardware store across the road was having a sale and to attract customers, two chaps dressed up in dog suits were prancing along the side of the road waving to all the passing traffic!

Tonight we met up with one of the other members of our travelling party - Astrid. She has just returned to Perth after three and a half years living in Alice Springs, the real heartland of Australia. The other member of the 'awesome foursome' is Christian, who is currently in Indonesia visiting his sister. We will all meet up for a pre-India Bollywood night (minus the Bollywood) in a couple of weeks, just days before we all board our first flight together!
