We fly to Chennai in Southern India and then the adventure really begins, we have some idea where we are going but all that will probably change. We will be flying back from Delhi on 5th September 2006. Please enjoy the site, read the diary entries, check out our photos, leave us messages and follow the map. Don't be scared of it Mum & Dad, you will get the hang of it!! See you soon. http://www.getjealous.com/marcotts http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190517&go=marcotts Hiya everyone, so this is it, the last diary entry. Feeling really sad about it as we have enjoyed the site so much over the last few months that we are really going to miss it too. It has been an amazing experience to travel around India, at times I thought it was the best place in the world and other times I thought the complete opposite!! I wouldn't change anything about it (except for loosi... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190517&go=marcotts Thu, 7 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190513&go=marcotts March's Final Thought: Well gang, I've been swimming with snakes, trecking elephants through the jungle, rode an elephant, seen giant squirells, dolphins, praying mantis,geko's (x2000), lizards, weirdy bugs, bitten by a million mossi's, crashed a moped (and wrecked a van), driven an auto-rickshaw, cycled a cycle-rickshaw, played cricket with local Indians, eaten 312 tonns of rice and enough chutn... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190513&go=marcotts Wed, 6 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190398&go=marcotts Hi everyone, so we had to get up at 3am India time on Tuesday morning in order to go to the airport. When we got there, there was the normal Indian cafuffal. Our plane was headed for New York but was stopping over in London, so we had to join the London cue, but it seemed that everyone in front of us was getting turned away. This started to bother us as no one was telling us what was going on, ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190398&go=marcotts Tue, 5 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=189625&go=marcotts Yeah!! Last day!! This time tomorrow we will be on the green, green grass of home (probably missing India!!). As we said in the diary, last night we were meant to be going to a posh hotel for dinner with Trace and Rach who got in touch with us through the site, they couldn't make it but said that we should go anyway, so we did!! It was the poshest hotel either of us have ever stepped foot in, y... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=189625&go=marcotts Mon, 4 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=189250&go=marcotts So we went to collect the one-mega-ring from the jewellers and were both actually quite nervous in case they did a really bad job of it as we had put up half the cash and would not have time to wait for any amendmants. Luckily it was better than we expected!! Quite stunning and very well made - Sarah loves it so I'm happy (and poor). Then we went to buy some beers as the hotel we were in had cab... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=189250&go=marcotts Sun, 3 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=188896&go=marcotts Not much of an entry for today, the money we have left is not allowing us to do very much!! We had breakfast in the room then our cycle rickshaw mates picked us up again. We went first to the internet cafe to confirm our flights home (all confirmed-yeah!!) and then we went to a 'nature walk' by the Taj. Unfortunately, due to a problem with prostitutes using the park for unsavoury business, most... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=188896&go=marcotts Sat, 2 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=188620&go=marcotts Hello all, thanks firstly to everyone that read the diary entry yesterday and left a message, we love reading them!! Last night after 'tinternet they bought cake and flowers to the room. The flowers were lovely, the cake was not. Still, nice gesture for not having any hot water or hardly any of the facilities that they claimed on-line. We hurriedly consumed the 2 bottles of bubbly and were rath... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=188620&go=marcotts Fri, 1 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=188271&go=marcotts Hi all, very exciting diary entry today. After yesterdays entry Adam BIG TIME complained to the hotel and they said that they would sort out everything on the list and the water would be fixed again for the morning (they also said that that WAS the view from our window, but as Adam pointed out to them, they would have to pick up the Taj and move it for that to be the case!!). We went for dinner ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=188271&go=marcotts Thu, 31 Aug 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=187876&go=marcotts Hi there folks. well, we really are on the final leg of our journey now, just a 3 hour journey left and then the flight home (which actually takes less time than a lot of the trains that we have got!!). So last night saw another night train (in answer to your question Lindz, they have never been exciting-not nice sleeping in a train with people who think nothing of burping and farting, they do i... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=187876&go=marcotts Wed, 30 Aug 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=187498&go=marcotts Today we got up nice and late - half ten for me, eight for Sair (no rest for the wicked n all that), she was busy worrying about this connection and that connection, where to stay etc etc. Then we packed up all our stuff ( which gets heavier each day but easier to pack as we get used to packing it) and went for breakfast. After that we went to find an ATM as we have pretty much run out of money ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=187498&go=marcotts Tue, 29 Aug 2006 12:00:00 GMT
