April 2, 2008 - Delhi, India

I’m writing this on the train to Delhi, hoping that in this move from camel-safari fort town to capital city I’ll find a higher quality internet café or even a WiFi connection and then I’ll be able to post everything at last. {For those who were excited by the camel prospect (Nimisha!) we did end up going on a pleasantly brief sunset camel safari in Jaisalmer – as we’d thankfully foreseen, the novelty of camel-back riding wears off quickly!}

Apologies for the delays in posting, and for the vast quantities of writing I’m now putting up! We got sick – as described later, and then internet access since then has been sketchy. Here are the past couple of weeks – 5 more days and we leave India for Nepal! Crazy how time flies. We’re spending the last time we have in Delhi, which should make for a nice conclusion to this trip’s travels through India (I’m already planning on coming back!).

A mouse just scurried across the train car and under our bags. As we’re not currently looking for another travel companion I’m hoping that this was just a thoroughfare and it’s gone to find food somewhere further along…
