Our first day in our wonderful flower power rickshaw is over and we have had so much fun. The rickshaw race is not only about driving, it also consists of bonus challenges and we have to do different tasks along the way to gather extra points. It can be about dressing up (yourself and, Read More
Now we have arrived in Chennai and will soon start our great adventure – a rickshaw race where we will drive our own rickshaw around the state of Tamil Nadu. The race is 1000 km long and we will do it together with 10 other teams. Our nice rickshaw is painted in a ”flower, Read More
We often think about the tremendous difference between travelling in India (and everywhere else) today compared to how it was when Christel traveled around the world 28 years ago.

The beautiful waterfront, the many nice restaurants near our hotel, quiet alleys made for long walks and a boat trip to watch the sunset. On top of this, the hotel was really good – not luxurious but very homey, Read More
One of the evenings in Udaipur we went to see a dance and music show in an old beautiful museum near our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised. We payed 100 Rupees (1,5 Euro) per person to get in and as we arrived quite late we had to sit at the side of the stage,, Read More
