Believe me none of has clean underwear fullstop. Hand washing cloathes is not as effective as you'd think.

Jesus, I wouldn't of liked to be riding shotgun when the bus went over the edge. I bet none of you had clean underwear for a week :-)

One horn, two horns etc. mean different things in india.
i.e. one horn, "Watch, I am here".
two horns etc. etc.
Used to be the same in UK, until we became over controlled.

Sounds like you are having a great time. Lovely to hear how you are getting on. Trust you to think of chocolate! Sure you'll make up for it when you get back. Old tea bags are good for the sunburn!!! Probably give you a good brown tinge to the skin too - will add to the tan!!
Catch up soon
Love

Matt,
Can't believe that you've been gone so long already! "Hot" and "sticky" sounds just like it's been here for the last week or so, but we're beginning to chill too now.

Have a great adventure. Looking forward to hearing more. Keep in touch.

Matt, I can't believe that it's only 8 days to go to your trip of a lifetime. The time has simply flown by! Bet you can't wait to set off now. It will be an incredible experiencee and you'll have a great time, I'm sure. If you can survive a lock-up in a dungeon, you can survive anything!

Enjoy every minute of your expedition. And enjoy the R&R at the end too.

Bon voyage!

Warmest wishes
Anna
