India bombards your senses. Some say it is like being assaulted by a beautiful woman! There is definately nothing quite like it.

From the dry arid landscape awaiting monsoon, to the vibrant and elegantly dressed women in the sari's, to the spice that greets you on every corner, to the toilet that is every street; India's constant horn blowing millions make their presence felt.

Apart from the wildlife and the exquisite palaces the highlight for me was the people. While they drive you steadily crazy with their constant requests of 'Where you from?'; 'You see my shop?' and 'You give me 10 Rupees miss?!; they have a quiet determination and whole heartedness that, if you allow yourself to stop and enjoy, will bring a smile to the face of the most hardened traveller.

Here are just some of the people we met along the way.
