It is over a month since we met Vicky, a bright and appealing young man, who at the age of eighteen impressed us greatly. We could see good things happening to him and hope he gets to better himself and see more of the world.
But now we see that the end of his journey may well be on a funeral pyre by the side of the Ganges. But to the Hindus it is just another chapter and he will return to this world in another body at another time.
We too have come to the end of our journey, and we would very much like to return to India sometime soon. But hopefully it will be in our existing bodies and without the aid of a funeral pyre.
It has been a fascinating trip. We have seen some fabulous sights, but as always it is the people we meet who make it special and I would like to leave you with a few of the faces we vividly remember.
and that
is
The End

Thanks so much. You will be delighted to know that nothing happened to Vicky, I was merely commenting that when his life comes to an end he will no doubt be burned on a funeral pyre. He was a charming tour guide we met on one of our first days.
We will be in PV for a few weeks starting March 6th so hopefully we will meet then.
I always love a visual joke. Welcome home.
Thank you for an entertaining, amusing, surprising, highly emotional and incredibly beautiful journey through India. I look forward to your next journey.

Andrew, I received your blog via Elizabeth Zemmels and have been absolutely fascinated and entertained. Your people photos are outstanding! What camera were you using?
Hi Rick. So glad you enjoyed the blog and the photos. I could make it sound like I was using some incredible camera to impress you. But infact it was just a pocket Canon Power Shot with a powerful zoom.
Hahahah LOL I like the last photo. Fabulous indeed!
