So there you have it we were in the thick of Old Delhi with our guide for the day Tarun and walking into big Red Fort. It was about ten in the morning but it was scorching near 40°C. We were prepared. Red Fort was constructed in the 17th century which served as the capital [...]
We had a good sleep last night and started off the next day(Day 3) with a visit to Old Delhi. For those not in the know: Old Delhi is not very far from New Delhi but once there it does take getting used to — its not for the faint hearted. To be fair, Old [...]
D found these the next morning in our Delhi local newspaper. Need I say more? We’re drinking lots of water. Its all good.
D had found this amazingly cute place when we were doing our research on India and particularly Delhi, Its called The Delhi Manor. Its looked gorgeous from the website. We tried our level best to stay there when in Delhi but for some reason Intrepid Travel or probably Travel Inn their Indian counterpart wanted us [...]
Our room is on the 3rd floor of the Hotel. The outside temperature was 37°C still close to midnight. Of course we didn’t much feel the heat as we were mostly in air-conditioning, until we got to our room of course. It felt like we had entered a baking room! Luckily the air conditioning cooled [...]
The flight from Sydney to Delhi was great. It really was but I got frisked at the Sydney Airport. Ha Ha! Bambini Trust has a new outlet in the Airport. Our feet naturally wandered that way. Ten in the morning was a bit early for a wine (though I had 4 glasses of red wine [...]
Beyond the fact that the reminiscing of the Taj Mahal was real there perhaps also is a very good reason why this is happening now & if you haven’t figured it out, well in less than 2 sleeps we are off to incredible India. D and I are so wide-eyed about it that I can’t [...]
Its getting cold. Its past midnight. I’m sitting here about ten thousand five hundred kilometers away from the Taj Mahal on a brisk autumn midnight writing from Sydney while I think of the warm sultry temperatures of Northern India. Delhi is sporting a high hazy 37°C with 10% humidity and yes you guessed it… I’m [...]
This is Mouschka our neighbour Pat’s cat. We looked after her when Pat was away for a few days over Easter break and it was nice to see Mousckha was very fond of us. She rolls on the floor right next to our feet stretches a kilometre wide and yawns and rolls back on the [...]
Berry island, Waverton Easter Monday: 9am the skies were blue and the sun was shining beautifully. But an hour later everything changed! We had planned to go to Berry Island for a little picnic, luckily it didn’t rain but we did have these huge ominous clouds most of the day. It was still good to [...]
I made the Semolina and yoghurt lemon-syrup cake yesterday afternoon. It was much easier than making the Marmalade Polenta Cake — but transferring it from the cooling wire rack to the cake stand was a mighty chore… thought I had nearly crumbled it to pieces… Luckily it got there in the end in one piece [...]
