Atithi Guwahati

... goodbye to Sangay and Rooney and off we drove through the gate between India and Bhutan. Gate closed behind us....goodbye Bhutan hope I come back one day.

Immigration checks completed in a hut by the river. Questions asked, passport and visa checked, ledger filled in (yep I'm definitely back in India..there's paperwork!) and I'm back in India.

I love the Dominican republic we just got back
and it was fantastic. We stayed at this beautiful luxury villa in Cap Cana
called Villa de Cap Cana. It was amazing! We had a private pool and wonderful
ocean views. If that weren’t enough we were on the 14th hole of the Punta
Espada golf course. We can’t wait to go back. Check out the pictures at http://www.capcanavilla.net/

... many handicraft items like bags, purses, flower vases, dress materials, etc. After that we went to airport, boarded our flight and reached Mumbai at 7.30 in the night. We reached home at 10 pm. This was a memorable trip for us and we'll always cherish the experience.

On 05/12/2008, we went to Guwahati zoo and saw tigers, lions and lionesses, leopards, hippos, African rhino and many animals from close quarters. I was intrigued by the ...

... as we didn't expect to find them there. Moreover, they were not aggressive and sat tamely while I and other tourists took photo beside them.

... football 20 years ago there was a full house, and then some (capacity 18,000, nearer 30,000 in the ground).   England performed with a fecklessness that surpassed even their usual.  About the only thing which went right was winning the toss ... followed by the wrong decision.  A complete hammering ensued. Signs were inauspicious for a successful tour. The next day was a 20 hour train journey to the next one in Indore. Episode 2: Annihilated in Indore. England ...

... the ROCK CAPITAL of India. The roads were amazing, it's said that the best mountain roads in India are to be found in Meghalaya. The pristine view kept us awake even when half of India was still in their beds. But as the sun got up and up in the sky, the weather turned hot. Shillong came!!! Shillong was like no hill station I've ever seen. Traffic jams, it was like Bangalore of the East. 90 ...

... Caressed the roof tiles, wanting a feel of them. Walked round the building, promising myself an inside tour and a show on a next visit. Before that took a long walk with my daughter around The Rocks, admiring the ancient buildings and wondering about the life of the early settlers. Past the pubs full of drinkers at 5 pm, a novel sight for me.
