Nepal here we come!

We have left Delhi with a positive feeling. It was nice to know that there is some justice in the world!  It's also good to know that the Delhi police do help at least sometimes :) - they even put their police lights on so that we could get to our train on time - I admit,  we were rather giggly and excited! 

Mamie and I have decided that as the start of our gap years didn't exactly go to plan (e.g. I haven't learnt a language and generally been a bit useless... in my opinion, all High Society's fault! ...and Mamie spent a lot of wasted time with SATs) that we will turn it around now. We're reading multiple books (one called 'how to overcome mental tension' - travelling in India is stressful!). We've decided to buy a sketch book and be creative, inspired by a visit to the National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi, which we loved. We have made an effort with the language; I am still struggling with the hindi for thank you over two weeks in, but the point is we are trying! We have been to an Indian drums lesson. Let's forget the bit where the teacher was still drunk from Holi and spent the 2 hours reciting Om to us. Finally, we have vowed that we WILL go bungee jumping!

Very excited about entering Nepal.. will keep the blog updated if the wifi is decent! Miss you lots,

Amy
