Only a few days after Dad & Claire returned to England, our next round of visitors arrived... this time, Clem's mum, sister and nieces! Unfortunately, they were only visiting for a week and came with a list as long as your arm of things they wanted to see and do whilst in India. Surprisingly we managed to squeeze most of what they wanted to do into the week ... a busy but fun-filled adventure! As you will see from some of the pictures, we visited some of the same places as we did with Dad & Claire (the Aga Khan Palace, Kasba Peth, Tambat Ali, and the Lohagad fort) but we also tried some new places as well, such as the Shivaji Market. Brilliantly, they all came with me and volunteered with the girls in the village school that I have been teaching at ... a busy, but very worthwhile day. We also had a great time celebrating together... first of all Danie's birthday, but also Halloween with costumes and Trick or Treating!
