India...Finally!

off to india we went for easter holiday!  i have finally looked at the 1200 photos we took and edited most of them, discarded some of them, but probably need to go through another cull.  there is a sample below of our trip which started in delhi with holi, moved to agra and the taj, a lovely night in a tiny village in kalakho, over to jaipur, onto cochin and ended up in the backwaters.  it was a busy 12 days but worth the time, money and effort.  our trip organiser, far horizons, was fantastic.

it is difficult to compete with the taj, something ive always wanted to see, so that was my clear favourite.  otherwise, the rest of the architecture was phenomenal, the food delicious and the houseboat on the backwaters - divinely relaxing and peaceful - a perfect way to end our trip.

here are a few photos - not many, but will upload some more when i have a moment (been busy getting back into regular life).
