Indian Travel Journal
The first blog post starts from the bottom of the page.
- India
to Me - Well it has finally come to an end, I would love to keep
talking and reminiscing about India, but I guess its time to move on.
- India
Experience - G'day to you all from Australia, I wrote on my last
post about giving some tips through my experience travelling around
India for five months.
- Last
Days in Delhi - Namaste to you all, well I finally arrived in Delhi,
it was early morning and quite cold. Its been three months since I passed
through Delhi on my way down to the South of India.
- The
Road Back to Delhi - Namaste to you all, the journey back to Delhi
was certainly interesting. India was going to test me right up until
the last minute that I left her shores. I'd caught a little bus from
Omkareshwar, and for once it wasn't overloaded thank god.
- The
Holy Place of Omkareshwar - India - Namaste to you all, well it
was time to leave for my next adventure. I'd been told that there was
a small out of the way village called Omkareshwar.
- Monks
of Ajanta, India - Namaste to you all, I'm going to place the last
of my photos of the Ajanta caves in this post. There were a small group
of Buddhist monks visiting the caves while I was there, I got some nice
shots of them going about their business.
- Journey
Back to Northern India - Namaste to you all, I'm just adding pictures
on this post and will write plenty in the next few posts. I'm slowly
making it back to where it all started nearly five months ago, boy that's
gone quick.
- Ajanta
Caves, India - Namaste to you all, here are some pictures of the
Ajanta caves. I realized looking through the photos again how beautiful
they were in their own right.
- Ancient
India - Namasate to you all, after visiting Ellora caves my next
trip was to the Ajanta caves about an hours trip from Aurangabad. I'd
heard about the Ajanta caves back in Australia so I was really looking
forward to seeing these ancient temple caves.
- Ellora,
India - Namaste to you all, I'm just going to place pictures on
this post dedicated to the Ellora caves. There were so many of them
and I got trigger happy with my camera, so I thought I'd place heaps
of photo's on this post.
- Lost
World of India - Namaste to you all, well I left Mamallapuram with
a sense of excitement and relief. Excitement knowing that I'd be in
one of the most awe inspiring places in India, the Ajanta Caves.
- Ancient
India - Namaste to you all, yes Im still alive just been very busy.
After the quietness and solitude of Auroville, I set off again up the
coast to a small coastal village called Mamallapuram.
- Bonjour
from India - Bonjour to you all, you might be wondering why the
french, well my next destination is at a place called Pondicherry. Well
Pondicherry was a former French colony that was first settled in the
18th century.
- South
India - Namaste to you all, well Im heading up north again along
the east coast of India. Pam, Trev and I went to Madurai, its a large
city with about 1.19 million people living there, so its time to get
geared up again for the hustle and bustle of another Indian city.
- South
India - Namaste to you all, I'm well behind on my posts so I'm going
to show you mainly pictures for a few of them. There's one story though
I'd like to share with you, while we were in Bangalore getting Frank's
camera I witnessed a very strange experience.
- Travelling
Through India - Namaste to you all, I think this sign says it all.
I found it on a wall in a little town in the mountains and I thought
it would be appropriate to start this post off with it. It's a quote
from that great man Mahatma Gandhi.
- Happiness
in Hampi, India - Namaste to you all, well I'm a bit behind in my
posts, since Hampi I've covered allot of territory. I've now arrived
in Varkala, which is in the south of India, in a state called Kerala.
- Finding
Magic in Hampi and India - Namaste beautiful people, I arrived in
a wonderful fairytale town in the middle of India called Hampi. This
place is one of the most beautiful and at the same time strangest places
I've ever been to in the world.
- Motorcycle
Diaries of India - Namaste to you all, as most of you all know I
hired a bike and road around most of the state of Goa. Here are the
pictures I took on my travels. I tell you it was very freeing to cruse
around on a beautiful old fashion bike.
- Motorcycle
Diaries - Namaste to you all, well I've left Goa which is a good
thing, its quite an expensive place because of the tourism factor. I
left on the 11th of January and arrived in a wonderful place called
Hampi.
- Happy
New Year from India - Namaste to you all, well another year over,
I hope you all had a safe Christmas and new years eve party. I've still
for some reason got a huge resistance to get on a computer, but like
I said to a guy the other night, feel the fear and do it anyway.
- Merry
Christmas from India - Namaste to you all, sorry I haven't done
any posts or sent out a newsletter in the past week, I've had what I
would term Blogger block. For some reason I haven't felt like getting
on a computer. I've arrived in Goa it's a great place, very touristy,
it's ok for a change.
- Well
Over Diu, India - Namaste people, well I'm back in Delhi waiting
to catch my plan to Goa for the Christmas break. I went back to the
Internet cafe where I left my CD of Diu island and these wonderful men
who run the cafe had kept it for me, very lucky.
- Living
and sharing with a Tibetan Family - Namaste to you all, as I write
this its started to snow outside, the first day its snowed this year.
So you can imagine its getting quite cold here, its certainly time to
leave and hit the surf, yippee.

for Tibet - Namaste to you all, I've now spent about two weeks in
Mcleod Ganj. As you know this is where most of the population are Tibetan
refugees.

of Gods - Namaste to you all, well what another wonderful experience
I had up in Mcleod Ganj. A few of us decided to hike up to the mountains
and stay in a little cafe called Snow Line cafe.
- Teachings
from the Dalai Lama - Namaste everyone, well me and my old mate
God have done it again. One of the biggest experiences that Ive longed
for was to meet the Dalai Lama. This is one of the big reasons I came
to Mcleod Ganj at this time.
- India
and the Power of Now - Namaste to you all, well I've arrived in
Mcleod Ganj. In case some of you don't know, this is where the Dalai
Lama now lives along with thousands of Tibetan refugees. Its a magical
place, its at the start of the Himalayas. The air is fresh and clear
and so is the energy.
- Sweet
India - I'm back in Delhi now, ready to go to the mountains and
hopefully meet the Dalai Lama. It would be another dream of mine if
i were to meet his holiness.

more in love with this wonderful country and its people. I've been sitting
back lately watching how we humans are always looking outside ourselves
for our happiness.

people I met in Pushka. I've also added some more photos of my travels.

almost a month now, boy has it gone quick. A lot of healing has come
up over the past couple of days.

Love and Acceptance from India - Namaste to you all, well Im still
in Pushka, the camel festival is still building. People from all over
the state are bringing their camels, pigs and horses for selling. Pushka
normally has about 12,000 local people and about a 1,000 tourist outside
of the camel festival, once it starts they say there will be about 200,000
Indians from all over the country converge in the town and the surrounding
areas and about 10,000 tourist, as you see its a huge event.
- Postcard
from India - Namaste everyone, well since being in Pushka a lot
of emotions have been coming up, my heart isn't as open which is ok,
I've known for some time now that Pushka was going to be the place where
most of my healing will take place.
- Australian
Cricket Team Scoop - Well, well what can I say, for most of you,
you wouldn't understand but for those who love cricket you would be
salivating at what your about to read and see. I met an Aussie girl
in the morning and in our conversation cricket came up she told me that
her brother received a tip that the Australian and England cricket teams
would be staying at a five star hotel ten minutes from where we were
staying.
- Travel
in India - Here's the pictures I promised you all finally. Oh and

from the Country of India - Namaste to you all, well what can I
say it just keeps getting better and better everyday. I love this country,
I've had so many flash backs of past lives its not funny. Indians are

by in large happy, contented people.
- Postcard
From India - Well where do I start? I arrived in India last Tuesday
at two o'clock in the morning, had a great flight everything went with
ease and grace and I guess it has since I've been here. I cant say it
enough how important it is to follow your guidance and your heart.

ashrams and temples as well as meeting the Dalai Lama, which has been
a dream of mine for years.
