Had a great trip to India. Well mostly - was ill for several days and admitted to hospital overnight at one point since the drugs I was taking myself were going straight through me and not working. Goshdarnit but I hate drips but it did the trick and I was able to recover for the rest of the trip.
Ranthambore was a great experience and I was extremely lucky indeed with my tiger sightings - luckier than most in the group.
Had great fun on all the activities and my own photography talk in the workshops went down very well. It was great to have people coming up to me during the week saying they were already putting it into practice and it was helping and I can't even describe the buzz of having someone like Jonathan Scott saying several times during his talks "As Kavita was saying in her presentation..." Talk about a large grin on my face!
Weather was HOT HOT HOT! Thought I was going to melt - racing at breakneck speeds through the park in an open jeep with the sun pushing down on you and the sand blasting your face was certainly something to be endured. They can't drive slower as a daft system at Ranthambore means drivers HAVE to finish their (ridiculously long) routes within the time given (can't be even 10 minutes late out) or they are fined and often even suspended/ sacked. Checkpoints along the route ensure they don't miss any out. It's crazy.
Lots of shopping in Delhi too and some quality time with family.
Altogether, ignoring the illness, a bloody marvellous trip!

Well done Kavey, sounds like a great trip apart from the being ill bit of course!
Don't leave it for several years before we see the pics from this one... (!)

Actually I'm putting aside the next few weeks to process the pics from Galapagos (exactly a year ago), this India trip and a few things in between so I'm hoping to be able to share something with you on both trips fairly soon!

Hey, Kavey!

Welcome back!
Glad to hear your trip went well (minus the illness) and very happy that you are home safe and sound. We missed you!

Thanks Sara...
It was a good trip but it's SO good to be back and let me tell you that I'm NEVER doing a 3 week trip without my Pete ever again. Good trip with great people but I cannot tell you the number of moments I turned to share something with Pete only to miss him terribly...
