6 in India

Not sure how to summarise our visit to India.  It was definately our most difficult travel so far and we all had days where we discussed paying the airline penalties and flying out early!

The highlights continue to be meeting people – namely visiting the people growing vegetables at Ranakpur and 4 Delhi street kids who will stay in my mind forever.

There is way more to India than just the Taj Mahal and the numerous temples.  If you want a travel challenge, this is the place to visit.
