Intro

A brief introduction is required to give all these randoms entries some meaning:

For a long time Elaine and myself had discussed the idea of travelling and now those conversations have come to fruition and we set the date 23/9/10 to begin this trip in Delhi, India. To coincide with this we decided on volunteering for a period with the Hope Foundation on reaching Kolkata; which Elaine had volunteered for earlier this year. We will both make entries over the coming months and the aim is to hopefully give an honest reflection of the locations we have visited and our own experiences.

*Note: the following comments are not those of the Hope Foundation and should not be seen as reflection upon the charity or the invaluable work it does.

They're coming outta the walls. They're coming outta the goddamn walls - Aliens (1986)

Good morning, we're currently still in our apartment after an entertaining evening. We went for dinner in a local Italian (Patricks 4th consecutive night of pizza)* and ate outside. It was nice to begin with - a little dark but not dark enough for me to avoid seeing the cockroach that had made its way onto Elaines shoulder and moving in to give her a kiss on the neck..... Panic (and what one might call an international incident)* followed, and as we had already ordered our food, we moved to a brighter area and sat in a constant state of paranoia as we wolfed down our food. Thank goodness for Black Fort beer, definitely helped take the edge off the whole ordeal.

It's raining outside all morning, first time seeing rain here, very refreshing as it reminds me of home. Anyway time to get up - going to visit the Karma Sutra temples today... Pics to follow!
