Foot lose and at large in India

My eight year old daughter Madhura (Minnie) and I spent fifteen days traversing India on our very exclusive and exciting Father-Daughter holiday. It was a no holds barred trip – we ate where we wanted and what we wanted to, went where our eyes took us, climbed hills and forts, slept under shaded trees, drank water from wells, had tea at road side stalls, skipped baths and meals when necessary, basked in the sun, shivered in the cold.

The album captures our travels by aircraft, train, rickshaw, taxis, automated rickshaw and often just by foot on the roads.
