Delhi and Varanasi mainly. I travelled here back in the 90's staying in basic accommodation. This time round with my family it was more relaxing at fancy hotels and a luxury van. But both times were great.
Hit 50C (122F) this week. I think I will take a heatcheck. https://www.reuters.com/world/india...rature-last-week-was-wrong-by-3-c-2024-06-01/ Correction, not 52.9C, just 50C. Makes a HUGE difference.
I was in Kefalonia, Greece, last week. I have seen many islands and I come from the Mediterranean. This was my favourite, ever. Nearly crime free, everyone kind and polite, no drunks, no stupid gangs or dirty looks... I saw one police car in a week and I drove all around the island. A different planet even compared to its neighbours (like Italy or Turkey). A dream. Then, I flew back under the clouds, back to stinky London, and woke up.
