Well that's it all set up। I'll leave it for now until the journey begins। So no doubt the next post will be from Heathrow because I'll be bored out of my bum waiting for my flight। Failing that I'll be in India which apparently is in Australia just the other side of Edinburgh।

I see that the Gourdon picture doesn't enlarge so here it is.

Map

This is probably the best map to follow because I'm going by train! There is a key at the bottom so you should be able to work out where I am between at least.

Indian Railway map

I've also found this website but you need to know which state I am in/heading for before you can use it

Maps of India

First post

The planning has begun in earnest. The proposed route/itinerary is -
Delhi 3
Amritsar 3
Jaipur/Udaipur/Mt Abu/Jodhpur/Ajmer/Bharatpur/Jaisalmer 14
Mathura/Vrindravan (same place ish?) 2
Agra 2

Orccha 2

Varanasi/Sarnath 5
Calcutta 3

Puri 2
Tamil Nadu Chennai/Mammalapuram/Kanchipuram/Pondichery/Rameshwaram/ Kanyakumarai/ Varkala/Trichy/Ooty/Madurai/Valparai 21
Cochin/Kerala/Goa lots
So it should take me from the start of Nov to the end of Dec to reach Kerala or Karnataka then I'll spend as long as I want in Goa and come home when I'm fed up!!
