Today is the shortest day of the year in the Southern hemisphere. It certainly feels like the middle of winter in Johannesburg (although "winter" is a relative term - the sun is shining outside, the skies are blue and it is about 19 degrees Celsius today). Nonetheless, the husband and I have decided to head north - we are going to India in July for a full three weeks.(Picked up our visas today - YIPPEE!). We are starting off in Mumbai ("bring your gumboots, it's monsoon in Bombay" my friend warned us) and then travelling through Rajasthan, the ancient desert of India.

Right now we are planning our adventure - booking accommodation at places with exotic names like Hotel Diggi Palace and Gulaab Niwaas Palace, in towns with exotic names like Jaipur, Udaipur, Pushkar and Jodhpur. We are going to see the Taj Mahal and we are even going to catch an over night train.
Neither of us has ever been so a whole new world awaits. I cannot wait!
This is india as seen from space during Diwali, the festival of lights. Isn't it gorgeous?
