EIGHT / FOUR DAYS: MONDAY 4 DECEMBER 2023

Leaving Delhi. Despite feeling weak my desire to leave Delhi was strong. Up at 4.45am, tuktuk at 5.15 and train from New Delhi Railway Station to Kathgodam. It was to take 5 hours but it took over 7….A wise decision to take a taxi on the hair bin bended road up to Almora allowed this recouperating woman to sit back. We arrived to rain and cold, had veg noodle soup and went to bed. Hooray for leaving Delhi far far behind.

SEVEN / 357 DAYS : TUESDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2023

We changed buses at Yellapur and decided to stay as it looked so lovely. Then went wandering and was invited, by an old man we met by a paddy field, to visit his house. Meandering through his little cow shed, under the shade of his nut grove, over little stone bridges and beside banana trees….it was a lovely encounter.
