A new companion

So a new era of my travels begun when i traveled with great anticipation about 200km from Gokarna to Goa airport to pick up my beloved and one and only sibling.
Calum Arrived on the 7th with great oomph only to crash in my hammock 2 days later on his Birthday with a fever and upset Stomach. it's obviously not such a good thing to go from -19° in Latvia, northern Europe to +30° in southern India.
All is ok now though, we stop in Hampi (for me the second time) before *hopefully* getting the overnight train to Bangalore tomorrow night.
I say hopefully because we are the waiting list for the waiting list for a seat on the train.
The train booking system is funny here but mysteriously seems to work...
In the past few months of travel or at least while I've been travelling on my own i don't have so much a plan as an intention.
Now with Calum's arrival we are attempting to do the south in less than 3 weeks, get a 2 day train from Chennai to Calcutta then head to Nepal for a couple of weeks before scuttling down to Himachel Pradesh to say one more goodbye to MacLeod Ganj before jumping on a plane from Delhi to Kuwait on the 16th of march, chilling there for a couple of days before a brief glide to turkey where my family will be reunited over a shisha or two...
