Forecast

The weather in Delhi where we will be in two weeks from today is a low of 28 degrees, a high of 37 degrees. Will be interesting to see how Tom does in that kind of weather. The lonely planet guidebook said, however, that most things are done either in early morning (no chance with Thomas's keenness for sleeping late) and late arvo and evening. Dinner is not eaten til after 10pm and there is a period during the day where everyone buggers off home to sleep in the blistering heat. We'll have to book airconditioned rooms.

Today we went shopping for the final items for our trip into india - buscopan for stomach upsets, imodeum for diarreah (spelling?), antihistamines for bites, ibuprofen for headache, elecrolytes for rehydrating, sunscreen and DEET mossie repellant. Man - this travelling lark is an expensive game.

I feel poised on the edge of something amazing,,,, waiting for the push towards the abyss below.... waiting for the experience of something totally new and fresh and incredible. I'm ready.

I'll leave you with a lovely travellling poem i found online today....

Delight

From Delight we came into existence.
In Delight we grow.
At the end of our journey’s close,
Into Delight we retire.
