Fantastic to be able to see the ordinary in all the suburbs you are visiting. Really enjoying all your beautiful photos and posts. Love the henna - didn't realise it could be so 3D. Hope you are feeling much better now! Hi Louise,

Still have the cushion?! Yumi - Love to go there, never been. Amelia - Thanks so much. Sarah - Yeah, the 5 star version would be pretty amazing and entirely surreal. And thanks, Coco is much better and I now just have a lingering hacking cough. Delightful. Kate - So glad someone else loves the mehndi! Jimmy – Wow, that’s a great story. Still have the cushion?!

I was you a speedy recovery. I'm not sure about more time in India will be the cure, but you never know! I'm glad I visited it, but I'm not sure I'd return unless I was on the five star version of India (which is never going to happen, but a girl can dream right?)

I hope both of you are getting better. If you wish to try a different take on the subcontinent, make a quick trip to Kathmandu! The beautiful old architecture, temples and stupas more than make the effort worthwhile. Thanks for yet another great post. I hope both of you are getting better.

I adore India & feel completely vital and energised in her presence. It started with a sparkly cushion and ended with an Indian partner. He says India is fabulous if you're not Indian - which I get. Both of us love your photos and the honesty of your thoughts and words. India is hard work its not a Merchant Ivory film set - not always great, not always lovely but always worth it.

Sounds tempting but I need to keep heading westwards! Many thanks anyway. Robert - But the thing is, unlike easier places, India gets under your skin because of the intensity, good and bad. So as Anthony said, you're happy to leave it but pretty soon you want to go back. At least that's been my experience the three times I've visited India. At times the filth, poverty etc gets to you but I certainly don't regret coming here - I got a lot out of the first two neighbourhoods in Delhi especially. And I LOVE the henna tattoos! I'm sure they could take off in Sydney. Maybe I'll open a little hole in the wall mehndi boutique when I get back... Liz – Hi! Sounds tempting but I need to keep heading westwards!

In fact I would say that all of India would be well down around the bottom of my list of place not to visit. However your photos and courage is admirable. Once you are out of India, I am certain that Europe will cheer you up as well as improve your's & Coco's health. Yeah, henna tattos... could take off here as a trend. I am sure plenty of Ruby Rose "wanna be's", will line up for them. Anyone doing them in Sydney ? To be brutally honest Louise, this is not the India i ever wish to visit.
