Memories from india!

OK so we've talked and talked about the gorgeous women in india .. and how we rarely saw women in western dress.

Well here is the music we listened to at the henna party (i asked the bride for a list) BUT even better .. here are the dance videos that susan loved so much, and an example of how sexy they dress on TV..

Driving in India

Just a glimpse into how you should drive in India.



This is going over the suspension bridge which is dismantled each monsoon (ie next month). And yes I did think we were going to die... please be careful with this video - it may make you ill.

Favourite Varanasi Shots

Varanasi nights

With the super miss susan potter as chief instructor extraordinaire I managed to capture some awesome shots. I should also mention that these were taken with the wonderful fixed L lens and tripod (thanks Al and Rick) so its not all raw talent xx

Varanasi Dawn Scenes

We arrived in Varanasi at lunch time, when it was hottest, and there was no electricity, see the other entry regarding our wonderful arrival.

However the next day we awoke early, found these gorgeous scenes and fell in love with varanasi.

Hotel Narayan Niwas

Renato recommended this place as a great pool so after Susan had a bad morning on the computer we headed here - just for an hour she insisted. 3 hours later we came out completely relaxed and ready for the world.
