Trip from Karuna Farm to Bangalore



Micheal, Hilary and Hart gave us radios. They make life so easy:-)
Luke can climb trees ,scale fences and watch buldosers go by whilst Tara and Boyd wander into the distance, Tara pitching into the latest episode of ,"Pop Pop and Oscars adventure through immigration ". And we can completely lose each other in a busy city in southern Asia and neither parent panics because a quick "toot toot Boyd Void to Rissa Pissa"  and we can make plan to reunite. :-)


We paid 100 rupees,( $2) to hang out in the park in Kodaikanal with all the other (Indian)  tourist s.......who wanted to take photos of us :-)



First play park we have seen in India. Thought the play equipment at jaunty angles was a funky modern theme..... But in fact, it was just broken.......



Luke and Tara asleep in the night bus to Bangalore. The first 2 hours  both boyd and I were hanging out the window on the point of chundering. Lukey felt sick but fell asleep pretty quick and Tara remained oblivious and watched 2 hours of Shaun the Sheep, giggling hysterically to herself.

Fantasy Golf resort Bangalore. Lukey in his personal cabinate. This hotel was 8 km from the airport. Had hot water, electricity all day and night, great bathroom for scrubbing clothes super warm dry weather for drying them and.......


A pool !!!!!( but no WiFi) NB Boyd falling in in the background.

"Lukey, the fence is electric that means a big ow if you touch it"
The first time he touched it he was on my back so I was swearing roundly at him. The second time he touched it he was tearful. The 3rd time he pissedhimself !
