Hey Tony—-Happy St. Paddies!!!!!—-I remember you spending one with me way back when!!—good memories!!—–Have to laugh at your bog on India–haven’t been there for some time, but it sounds like nothing has changed–a constant hassle with the people—just gotta shake your head in disbelief sometimes and keep on movie’—–
The route change is kind of a bummer, but is the right thing to do–period—no second guessing that one—and now look what is going on in the Ukraine—what a mess—–
Anyway—enjoy Delhi and Agra, and some rest—you can almost smell the finish line now
Good running–Greg

Ha ha thanks Ann and everyone. Yes the Myanmar food is a very distant memory now. They way they kept coming back with mor and more food and the delicious soup refils.
Sunday evening I took a train from my route to New Delhi to leave my passport into the Iranian consulate. I will also visit Agra and the taj mahal before returning to my route in Aligarh in 2 or 3 days time. Looks like I am going to be spending St Patrick’s Day here

Great update Tony, though you seem to be getting ripped off and can’t get any privacy. The joys of different cultures I guess!!! I can just imagine your horror at the small food portions and tea glasses as you nearly ate us out of house and home at Christmas.
I think you are making the correct decision for safety. You are so close to the finish it would be foolish to take unnecessary risks at this stage. Well done on another great blog entry Ann -:)

Good Man Tony, This is a great insight to the difficulties you are encountering in India. It is reassuring that there are a few good experiences and that the end of the Indian phase is on the horizon. I have always maintained that if there is anyone who can do it – it’s yourself ! Looking to forward to the Iranian chapter of the most daring expedition of the millennium – Well done!!
