D-day minus 1

Location: Moshav Hanniel
Country: Israel


"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...."

Tomorrow is the big day, I don't think that my brain will fully comprehend what's going on until it finds itself walking down the dirty, cramped streets of Delhi, but my nerves system on the other had, seems to have caught on only too well.

I spent yesterday packing, my bag weighs about 13 kilo, which isn't as bad as I feared it may be, but still rather heavy considering muscles is not something that I have been blessed with.

I really tried to cut down to what I consider to be the bear minimum (Shahar - get that picture of the hair-drier from SpaceBalls out of your head).

I have made contact with a couple (friends of friends of friends) who will be on my flight, so I have someone to land with, which is nice, especially since I am supposed to land at 02:00 am.

Seeing as the clock continues to mercilessly chop minutes away till the flight, I noticed that I have very little time left for last minute bits and pieces and last minute panic.
Next post - India (or maybe they have Internet at Tashkent, where I will have the great pleasure of spending 5 hours on a stop over).

Some tips from someone who traveled there for some months – but more than 10 years ago:
The toilet papers seen in the picture will be in massive use for the first days (unless you don’t eat :-)
2nd class night train is a nice experience, but you should stick to your bag all night.
North India is the most recommended (by me) - mountains, spiritualism, Tibetan environment and atmosphere etc. Indian temples you will find everywhere. Also Varanassi is worth a visit even if the weather is not optimal.
Have fun.
