After we saw The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, we decided we would travel to India and so we are booked on a 29 day tour with Intrepid, covering both Southern and Northern India.  It will no doubt prove exciting, challenging and interesting all at the same time!!  We will be doing a variety of things including homestays, camping, visiting wildlife sanctuaries and travelling by train a couple of times.  Oh, and of course visiting The Taj Mahal.  We both enjoy Indian food – butter chicken is one of our favourites and we order it in every Indian restaurant as we can compare and then rate the food!  We leave tomorrow, December 27 and travel via Singapore on the A380.  We have a 3 hour layover in Singapore before travelling onto Kochi (Cochin) and our tour will start the following day, December 28 in the evening with a meet and greet session.  We already know two members of our group of 12 – Ross & Carol – as we met them during our Egypt trip in 2010/2011.  They are from the US and Canada respectively and are such great fun!  Stay posted for more updates and some pictures and don’t forget to leave a comment!
