Delhi Wedding

Well, we had an amazing time in Delhi celebrating Kunal and Monika's wedding. There were 3 days of functions, fun and dancing. Dave Kennewell joined us for the last 2 days of functions. Highlights included Nathan's stole catching fire at the wedding, Dave being harassed by an elephant and much more. It was awesome fun being part of the baraat. As Kunal was on the horse and chariot, all of his family and friends danced with a huge band for hours as we approached the wedding venue where Monika and her family was waiting for us. There were fireworks, an elephant, huge lanterns, a moving bar and LOTS of noise - it was excellent fun!!
We'll let Dave's photos do the talking....

You guys are so much more organised than I am! I've almost got up to Nepal photos on Facebook, but not there yet. Should appear soon.

How's the MidEast?

I've had so much fun in India, it's great! Hampi was so nice I went for 2 days and stayed for 14, bouldering in the afternoon and waking up with an Old Monk hangover in the morning. Am in Goa now, got a body surfing barrel this morning on perfect 3 foot groundswell, with the beach entirely to ourselves. Super. Can't find a surfboard anywhere yet, but looking.

Where are you now?

Signing out,
