Trip to India






Tourists wearing the traditional headdress, which made me smile.
Adaption of Indian fashion.

We were lucky enough to see a tiger!! My fave animal btw, so you can probably guess I was beside myself with excitement!





Funny monkey, he jumped right onto the bus next to me!






The Taj Mahal. I have never seen anything as beautiful in a way like this.





Sorry for the serious lack of posts recently. I went to India for the Easter hols, which was absoulutely amazing. It really is a stunning country; there's so much colour - especially when you look at the vibrant saris and salwar kameez.
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but it made a real impression on me, especially with so many different cultures. There were plenty of fresh fruit and veg stalls at the side of the road, all lined up beside each other. Vivid sunsets that made the Taj Mahal glisten, cheeky monkeys that stuck their tongues out, rich textiles, embellished silver, shining stones, intricate and elaborate carving that took years to finish, and the people, who were all so friendly.
Yes, there was evidently a lot of poverty, but despite that you could tell people were coping - to an extent; trying to enjoy their lives with what little they had. It really was amazing, and something that I will never forget.
