Part two of our awesome adventure began in crazy Delhi.
We watched 'Who wants to be a millionaire' while filling up our bellies.
We got three new people that we didn't have before,
and got annoyed at our taxi drivers who took us to their friend's store.
Our explorer Carlotta with her growler is the Lonely Planet guru,
She got covered in pink powder in Jodphur and loves to chat about poo!
There's our smiley Scot Katie who managed to get a seriously bung eye,
She's popular with the locals and will give anything a try.
Then there's well-travelled Roland or Rolski with guts made of steel,
He loves a sly comment and a Kingfisher with his chickpea curry meal.
We set off without Josh to see rats in Bikaner, then to the desert of Thar.
The camels hurt our arses but we enjoyed a rain-free night under the stars.
The Jaisalmer hotel staff were cool and the fort was defintely a winner,
we shopped til we dropped, walked in cow shit and hoed down on curry and pasta for dinner.
We continued in the AC bus passing crazy horn trucks and weeing men in Jodphur city,
where we learnt to cook on the ground with spices and some people's bums got shitty.
We took ourselves audio touring in a fort that was big and old,
but the best part were the samosas, omelettes and lassis that the locals sold.
We did a homestay in style with a cool roof top and and a dog that was fat,
the food was seriously awesome and we survived one long-winded chat!
By now we'd embraced India with masala, head wobbles, saris, penises and chai,
As well as bananas, paneer, tuk-tuk rickkshaws, dead dogs and bloody flies.
Then our smelly group continued to Ajanta caves where we met a hawker or two.
Our guide talked his own form of speed English as he showed us around,
we climbed lots of steps , enjoyed the view and then another bush camp was found.
Rafik and his fam overfed us again in the rain,
then the next day we only did a short drive so Paul could stay sane!
We camped in a hotel, had much needed showers and then ate something new,
we said hi to some monkeys, explored the Ellora caves and had time to relax too.
Quicker than we wanted, our awesome trip has come to an end,
In Mumbai the sexy 11 will become 5 but we'll leave with great new friends.
Thali, motorbikes, rupees, naan, turbans and packed buses will always stay in our minds,
Incredible India - a dirtier, louder, more poo, wee, cow, dog, goat infested country will be hard to find!!
