A short update
on Jen's Indian Adventure (India), 28/Sep/2009 16:49, 34 days ago
Just a quick update as it's been a while since I posted.Well, I did say that there wouldn't be much to say until I got to IndiaTo date, I have had 2 lots of vaccinations and no signs of any ill effects. Although I do have 2 more sessions to go, so who know's what's ahead of me??I have also included a weather update. (Thanks Sheila for the idea) Please remember that the time difference from Ireland to Bhubaneshwar is + 4.5 hours ahead of us here in Ireland. So it simply just goes from being very hot during the day to being quite hot at night time.I bought what I believe to be my last purchase of shoes / sandles today. Typical me to go shoe shopping when the winter stock is coming into the shops in Limerick. I liked the style and thought I'd ask about other colours - I was fitting on a black pair. The lovely shop assistant told me they were the last available pair this year, so I thought it best to take them. I had noticed the lack of sandles in the shops but of course assumed everyone knew I'm heading for sunnier climes and would keep summer stock in their shops until November!!!I hear you all cry 'they do sell shoes in India too'. Yes I know they do, but generally sizes are no bigger than a 5 for ladies and I take a size 6. So it's best to be safe than sorry.Only 6 weeks to go. I'm really looking forward to the big adventure.I've been following the blog of others who have already started on their travels. Looking out of the window at the rain and grey clouds makes me think 26 C at 10.30pm in Bhubaneshwar, as I'm writing this, will be a welcome change.And yes, I have thought about purchasing sun tan lotion.
