Hey! So i made it out of Delhi!!!!
it sucks that Sheila and Kathryn are gone, but now im traveling without a deadline, which is liberating almost! In Oz i new i had to be out by March 12th, so i had to rush through everything and keep on the move to see everything, adn travelling through northern india i had to do the same knowing i needed to be in delhi by march 23rd, but now! theres nothing constricting me! so ive spent a few days here in Jaipur now and im headed to Jailsimer tomorrow night where ill be able to do a camel ride and camping trip out to the desert, so that should be ballin.
Jaipur has been really good, the people here are nice to the point of guilty, so even being the dick i am, its still hard to say no! I got a tour of the city yesterday and saw the elephants all painted up and the camels all dressed up too, i saw the water palace (although the good one is in udipur, where im headed after Jailsimer). The guy showing me around even let me drive the rickshaw!! it was pretty cool and everyone was staring, its not everyday theres a white boy driving a cab hahaha
Last time, the guys who drove me from the train station to the hotel came and took me out for some drinks, which was nice, sketchy, but nice...i left my wallet and the majority of my money at the hotel just incase, same with my Trav Cheqs, but it was good, i tried the Indian whiskey, which is actually produced by Seagrams, so who knew!
While i was there though, his friend told me about how hes a jewellery dealer and that to import ot canada cost 250% tax, and that if i was willing to forge selling documents and have the parcels mailed to me in canada, only to give them to his cousin who would then write up papers claiming that my family didnt like them and i would hand them over to his cousin for about 5000pounds he said, so about 10,000$ canadian! it was a little too good to be true, and the lonely planet book warned me about it, and that i would end up paying massive taxes and all that stuff, so im gonna try to avoid the guy if i can, but if not im gonna have to let him down, its nuts either way, hahaha
im not sure if i mentioned it before, but sheila has been kinda enough to lend me her memory card converter, so im finally posting pictures!! i have the pics from byron bay and surfers finally up and im starting on my rainbow beach and fraier island pics, i think ill only get the 2 done today, ill have to wait on the others, otherwise the internet is gonna get a bit expensive today hahaha, so here are the links below!
