Getting ready for North India

AND A NEW MEMBER IN OUR TRAVEL TEAM

It’s Sunday 7am, we’ve just bought our train tickets to Delhi. We’ll leave next Tuesday evening aboard the Rajdhani Express for a ride of nearly 33 hours, and a long journey to North India.

The great news is we have a new travelmate: Mar Juncas from Spain. Mar is a friend, and a journalist based in Bangalore since 2006. She specializes in writing articles about India for a daily newspaper in Spain. Besides, she is also involved in various book projects.

From now on, we’ll be four travelling  🙂
