You don't realise how beautiful and unique India is until you get there. It's not quite SE Asia, it's not quite Arabian as it is geographically, it's pretty much bang in the middle!
On this trip I was only able to tour the south, though I'll be sure to return and view the north!
The south, however, was just what I was looking for; Rural, Wild, un hit by tourism and the food like nothing you've had before!
Travelling the world I've never had food as good as this! And Coffee? It's only 8cents a cup, but the brew you get on the Indian Railway is the best I've found!
