Best Exotic Tour
Is anyone keen to come with me on a most excellent adventure to explore colourful, historic Rajasthan for 3 weeks at the end of September this year?
Essentially this is a fundraiser for children I have "inherited" after their Mum died in an accident. She put this tour together for family and friends to show us what delighted her most about India, where she had made her home.
We'll retrace her route, staying in guesthouses with old-world charm, meeting people who were inspired by her work with the underpriviledged, purchase handcrafted treasures and colourful fabrics to bring home, and be wowed by the architecture and history of the old trade route.
With everything taken care of while travelling with her husband and myself in India, including all meals so we can take care of your tummy, you can relax and thoroughly enjoy the magic and mayhem that makes India so special.
Time slips away ~ time to schedule in an exotic adventure this year !

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.
Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
