Itchy Feet

The Travelling Foxes have again got itchy feet.  Where to this time I hear you ask?  Well, the journey begins in Singapore for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in September.  Last year I asked "India or Peru?" on Facebook, and most of you said India.  Singapore is just more than half way there for us, so after the GP, we head to Delhi and spend 20 days travelling the north & south of the country.

Our dear friends at Intrepid (we've travelled with them twice before) have agreed to show us the sights.  This is the trip we've booked: http://www.intrepidtravel.com/trips/HHKZC#overview

"Nothing will prepare you", I hear you say, but jolly good because we are prepared to move out of our comfort zone.  Waaay out of our comfort zone.  I've heard stories before about the poverty, the smell, the conditions, etc but I want to experience the world & her peoples, and not just from a guide book or Nat Geo channel.  The time for the luxury travel is close (by luxury I mean easy travel where they all speak english in 1st world countries), but there's still some things on my list that I have to see & experience. And those things will only get harder the older I get, so I'm getting them out the way.  Climbing the Inca Trail at 70 anyone? No I don't think so.  So Paris & cocktails will have to wait a few more years....

I'm also posting on Facebook, so if you want to befriend me, here I am: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=729276553&ref=tn_tnmn

If you have any comments or advice, we'd love to hear them!
