Last India photos
So I'm back in England. I will be updating the last week and a bit's worth of photos (Goa etc.) in the next few days. There are some truly beautiful photos that I have to make into gifs to tell the story better.
Soon come.
England - Reading
Mum and I ate at Bill's in Reading city centre, it was lovely but far more carby than I'm currently used to.
We're now in the library at Reading Uni. We went to see the Ure collection of Greek and Egyptian artefacts which made no distinction between the two due to concurrent timelines (I assume). There was a Gold Flake tin in one of the exhibits which totally surprised me as that is what everyone smoked in India. And yesterday there was Sanskrit on the obelisk sundial in the garden yesterday. Something is telling me I should be there...
Then we saw some Sickert sketches that they keep in the Art History department's library.
A very camp dude just said 'fullarfull' instead of falafel. And I am amazed by the prevalence of the London accent here.

From Elephants in the street to Austrian sunrises.
From 100rs lunches to €5.50 breakfasts.

Next I went to see Saumya in Green Park and she fed me lunch and promised me she'd send me the photo for my Uno brochure interview soon. I hope it's better than the old one, but that won't be hard...
Then I went to the IHC to say final farewells to Preeti, Suprabha, Saurabh and Dilpreet. They had chocolate cake for somebody's birthday and gave me a massive slice under the pretends that it was also for my leaving.
I then headed back to Paharganj to finish my shopping. And managed to do it! Then I came back for my final Indian dinner at Alka's and it was gorgeous. Hopefully I won't have to eat any airport food. I was just about to rush off to the New Delhi train station to catch the Reliant airport link metro, when Mukul stopped me and said he'd send the driver. I'm so lucky.

90th
I ordered two meals for breakfast - a 'Maxican' breakfast and Veg Enchiladas - they have knocked me out. I definitely am going to be overweight after this trip - my appetite has grown hugely.
I left my shoes somewhere last night and now I'm burning myself a new pair of soles on the sand and tarmac.
