5.30 am. Early morning boat ride down the Ganges with M and J. Sounds desperately romantic, doesn't it? Actually, the Ganges has to be the most godawful boring stretch of water in the world. Slow, greyish, nothing. It is overcast and humid and the boatman ... Read more >

Worried about money. Speak to bank that won't let me take out money - they had no idea I was away - all is well now. Balance on both is good. Feel better but stomach hurts. Sit in a cafe in Paraganj and take pics of passersby but little energy as tum ... Read more >
