India trip

I've just returned from my first trip to India.

Congratulations and many thanks to Aadil and Ruby for giving me the opportunity to come to Mumbai to experience the sheer scale and colour of (multiple) Indian wedding receptions.

I spent four days in Mumbai, attending a wedding reception in a mosque followed by another wedding reception in a function room, then traveled by overnight train to Jaipur, where I stayed in a palace hotel for another four nights.

Jaipur, in the heart of Rajasthan, was fantastic - incredible palaces, forts, rich colours, shopping bazaars, great food, and friendly people.
