Ganges, Ghats & Temples – Varanasi & Amritsar

When booking the trip, we had a quick look at a train transfer between Dehli and Varanasi. We’d watched a few videos and quickly decided to fly there.  Our flights were booked with Indigo, which appeared to be the Indian…

Jaipur & Agra Awaits

On arriving in Jaipur we appeared to be heading down some dubious streets behind a chaotic bus station, towards our hotel.  At this point we thought we’d be looking for another place to stay.   Then out of nowhere, a…

Here We Go!

After a slightly delayed uneventful overnight  flight, we landed in Delhi around 8am.  Getting through the airport was interesting with a three step process!   Biometric data collected at automatic machines after getting in the terminal, manually filling in an…

Ready For The Off – Part Two

Just preparing the final bits for “part two”. Now organising this trip has been slightly more complex than the first.  We opted to use a travel agent to book our flights, as the trip involved multiple flights to 11 countries…

Brittany Tears – Our days are numbered!

La Faou Scared of missing something, we did another short hop to La Faou.  Once a large port in the bay of Brest, La Faou is another Petite Cites de Caractere! On the main street there are 16th century half-timbered…

Brittany Fears – The time is flying by!

Benodet – Another short hop around the coast. The beaches here were (in our opinion) nicer than Concarneau.  As per our recent luck, we did not have the opportunity to use them.   Rain stopped play AGAIN.   A lighthouse…

Brittany Cheers!

We had too many places on the list in Normandy & not enough time, so made the decision to spend our remaining three weeks in Brittany, heading down to the South coast to explore the from Carnac through to our…

The Landing Beaches of Normandy

On our short road trip last year, we visited Sainte-Mere-Eglise,  the two American landing beaches – Utah & Omaha & the American cemetery.  Unfortunately we ran out of time, so vowed to go back on this trip to visit the…
