From Jaipur with love

Namaste dear friends! Im sure many of you have been waiting for reports from the Princess of Norway. Well as earlier assumed and mentioned the internet access isnt as easy as back home.

Arrival Dehli. Cloudy, the airport was closed the day before due to really bad weather. Noisy, the massive amount of people in one place was just shocking. Horns from cars, shoutouts from cows and voices mixed in to it all made a beautiful coctail of what I call ORGANIZED chaos! I was in a deep cultural shock for the first 7 hours of my trip. What was a well planned arrival to Dehli with departure to Jaipur only hours after, ended up being a rather chaotic start to our adventure. Train got cancelled, it was dark, we were in the Old town of Dehli (Not recomended after dark with all your money and your passport) and got a BIT stressed out of the situation. But worldknown as we are, we gathered our minds and got in to a cab around 20.00h to go to the airport.

A nice hour away from the city we happily jumped out of the cab and almost danced our way to the airport entrance. "Ticket mam" .. "ehh.. we dont have one?!?" "then you are not allowed to enter mam" .. FOR #$*(&#$ what do we do now? This is when my patinece really came to a test, but since Im travelling with fantastic G, we just looked at eachother, lit up a sigarett and started laughing. And thanks to that - our beautiful smiles.. a nice young man came over and started talking, and SWUCH before we knew it we were at a nice hotel next to the airport where they gave us a fresh room with shower and toilet ( thats not a OFCOURSE in this country) , the receptionist helped us with the busplanning to get to Jaipur the next day.. so ladies and gentleman.. HERE I AM!! In Sarah Abrahams fantastic house, with the one and only Saerah Jane, Sarah, Guro and Nico.. And Im happy to announce that I am wildy in love with the girls, Jaipur, Indian Flavours, Organized Chaos, Holy cows and everything else that comes along with India!! Have to go, breakfast and elephant riding next!!

Ps. Its winter here in the North and Im travelling with only summerclothes ( didnt know it could be winter on one side of the country and summer on the other).. so that in itselves just shows how well this trip was planned. All of this ofcourse equals and proves that I HAVENT STARTED on the TANNING part yet.

Xx Mia
