3 months down! 3 to go!

Hello everyone!!! Sorry its taken so long for us to right a blog! Yikes where does the time go! After a crazy bus ride from Munnar to Bangalore (12hrs) and then another 3 hr bus ride from Bangalore to Mysore which somehow turned into 13hrs!!!! We arrived in Mysore a bit dazed and confused after 30 hrs on a bus in 30 degree heat! We saw the sights in Mysore and 36hrs later found ourselves on another bus to Hampi, ya that bad boy was also 12 hrs!!! Really the things we do!!! We arrived in Hampi and it was BEAUTIFUL! huge mountains of boulders and ancient Hindu temples from 700 years ago! We travelled the river by boat and climbed a mountain to watch the sunset while sipping some chai, and then dodged the killer monkeys all the way down the mountain! We rented scooters and travelled the hillside passing through small villages and having children running after us and waving hello! After 3 days in Hampi we took a night bus, STICKY little bugger! to Goa where the Arabian Sea greeted us with its cool refreshing breeze! We enjoyed Palolem beach in South Goa for a few days and then went up to North Goa to Arambol beach for 3 more days! it was beautiful and relaxing and we pretty much turned into fish to escape the 40 degree heat! From Goa we took a 12 hr train back to Mumbai where we saw the sights got asked to be in a Bollywood movie, and then headed back to the orphanage!!! Its fantastic to be back and to see all the kids again! They remember us!!! which one would hope after a month! but it's still lovely too see!!! In four days our whirlwind of India wraps up and we're heading to Europe to hopefully blitz through and enjoy 17 countries in 3 months!!! We thank you for your continued prayers and support and we look forward to seeing you all in July, my word it's just around the corner!!!

Enjoy springy Victoria and beyond, we've heard its exceptionally nice right now!!!

love Simone and Chelsea!
