A day in India

We are all so tired at the moment. After waking at 9am yesterday, we enjoyed a late breakfast and then headed out by rickshaw to the shops. The ride was only about 2km long and cost us INR 20 / AU .50c. We wandered around buying nothing for a couple of hours and then headed back to the hotel for a late lunch.

After this Surbhi arrived to take us wedding shopping which went on for many hours but was very successful. We are now ready to become full blown Indians.

Finally at about 9pm, we visited the bride's parents house and met the bride and groom and their families, who were all amazing and welcoming and beautiful. They fed us a great home cooked (by the chef), Indian meal. We then headed to Manish's parents enormous 4 story home and chatted until about 1am.

Today we have a driver to take us around town before we head to the wedding reception tonight. The pace is fast, the people are warm, the food is amazing, the clothes are stunning. Not a bad place. x
