Namaste!

So, 24 of the past 72 hours have been spent curled into uncomfortable little people balls on various forms of transport into and around India. Our legs are already aching and we haven't even started trekking yet!
Despite Nathan's foiled attempts at hostage taking on the plane, his machete was removed from his backpack and we managed to all arrive in Delhi on Tuesday am...you're right, we didn't need our thermal sleeping bags, or any other sort of sleeping bag for that matter...it was HOT!
Went sightseeing in the madness of Old Delhi yesterday, where Tilda lost her moneybelt but recovered it when a really nice man chased after us to return it. Mooched around the Old Fort, got dressed up as telly-tubbies at the Jama Masjid (photos to follow...when we can find a USB port), and managed to avoid being run over by autorickshaws.
Journey up to Manali was a long one, but Sips and Mandy entertained the entire coach with their angelic singing, gratefully received by all at 2am...?!*@! Nearly lost Big Steve, Monty and Bean when they tried to get on the wrong coach at the services, but again, we're all here and safe now!
Thanks for all your comments so far...hope the tracker is working now we're in the open space xxx
