Arrived!

Well We've arrived in India! The flights went really smoothly, no delays, and Celine was there waiting for us in her red Shari when we arrived. Had a rather interesting first experience of Indian traffic, a lot like Peru but faster! It appears there are no real rules of the road appart from honking your horn to let people know that you will be coming through! And our first siting of a cow was in the truck in front erm ... releaving itslef! Was about an hour and a half drive to Karuna Niwas (So dad you were miserably wrong!) and about 30 degrees outside!We settled into our room, which I have pictures of which I will try to upload at some point and Celine then took us to a restaurant for tea. Was quite hot in the restaurant so Celine asked ... no told the waiters to put the fan on for us, which then fused and caused all the lights in the place to go out! thankfully they got them back on again!
Celine asked us about our families and told us about all she is doing at Karuna Niwas at the moment including renting out rooms, a beauty parlour, computer courses (not yet set up) and English language courses (That's us!). She also told us how she is trying to move the location, as her curent building is becoming over looked and she said privicy for the girls she houses there is very important because of the taboo of having children out of wedlock etc. This week Celine says is just going to be for resting and exploring the surroundings a bit, buying so less obvious clothing and going to see a couple of the temples etc. which I'm very much looking forward to. Western clothing stands out a lot more than we thought it would and I felt a lot more comfortable in the kaftan you got me thanks mum!

Abyway first night we went straight to bed just about and had fun trying to put our mosquito nets up without any hooks!
