Six month anniversary

Friday 20 December marked the six month anniversary of our arrival in India.  Eek!  It feels like our time in India is passing very quickly but, equally, like we've been away from our previous UK lifestyle for quite some time. 

To celebrate, we went our for lunch on Saturday to Yauatcha, a smart Chinese restaurant in the Bandra Kurla Complex which I had been to previously with work and was confident that Phil would enjoy.  They have especially good and fancy puddings.

Blood orange chocolate cake with blood orange sorbet.

Raspberry and hazelnet chocolate mousse with raspberry ripple icecream.

Following lunch, we made progress with our aim for the New Year, to continue to keep up momentum with going away at weekends and exploring India.  It's easy for this to lapse once you settle at home, but we want to continue to travel and make the most of the opportunity offered by our secondment.

So we got out our diaries and have fixed trips to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Rajasthan (Jaipur, Agra & Taj Mahal, Ranthambhore Tiger safari), Orissa (Puri and Sun Temple), somewhere near Bangalore for a weekend, Sagar's village (!) as well as 10 days in the UK in March.  We'll try to squeeze in a couple of weekends to Goa / Kerala too, plus Phil's got trips to Chandigarh, Lucknow and Israel before the end of April.  

In the short term, we're travelling to Rajasthan for a week on Thursday, so will be back in the swing of travelling again soon.
