Exam result nerves

Hey Kirsty here!

Its been a while since I’ve written a blog. Our stay in Dindigul has been fantastic! The people here are lovely, so hospitable. The hotel, Parsons, is amazing, complete luxury. Room service only a phone call away. The only thing not available is internet access.

We were taken up in to the mountains and the views were breath taking. We spent the night up on the mountains. On the second day, after staying in the Poopada, which was very basic, in comparison to the luxurious places we have been used to staying in. Stacey and I were anxiously waiting for late afternoon so we could phone home to find out our exam results. It was really weird to sit on the bus and think that we have lived half our day and people back home were just getting out their beds.

As we were driving along we saw an elephant on he side of the road, we pulled over to take pictures ended up going for an elephant ride. Owen Minty and Iain went on one elephant and Laura and I went on another.

After lunch we visited the secondary school for the tribal kids. When we had finished there Stacey and I managed to phone home to get our results. I thought that being in India would make waiting worse because I would have to wait until the afternoon whereas if I was at home it would just be a case of waiting for the post to arrive in the morning. It turns out that being here actually made waiting for them a lot easier, we were so busy, it kept your mind off it.

Laura pointed out that we only have 3 nights left here. Although it feels like we have been here for months, the two weeks have flown in. We will all be sad to leave India, but also so glad to get home to see our loved ones.

Much love Kirsty xxx
