It’s fun to stay at the YMCA, (sing along all)

Once again the team has divided and divided again.

Yesterday afternoon we left Francis and Ian at the *VERY* nice hotel in Jaipur as we clambered onboard our chariots they call autorickshaws here. I just keep thinking “BEN HUR” … I Just keeping thinking “Chariot race” !

Then aboard the big bus, but not before marvelling at the creative 415v triple phase wiring distribution board, sort of spaghetti meet killer power all nailed to a wall ….. oooh that’s what 63amp fuses look like. Apologies for those who don’t find high power electricity interesting, but it’s a bit like finding a tiger, interesting but dangerous.

Talking of tigers that’s on the agenda for later in the week !

After a *Very* long bus ride back from Jaipur to Delhi (approx 7 hrs – only took 8 hours to fly UK to India) we arrived and the team split again.

Dick, Julie, Nigel and Sue in one direction and Roger, Stuart plus wives and  Louis returning to the YMCA for the night.

As I write this in the breakfast room of the “Y” we are preparing to split again as we leave Louis and head north to the jungle and hopefully TIGERS !  ….. Crocky is sooooo excited.
