1 hour before I purchased a flight ticket for my son Harry to come home, from America,

for Christmas 2012 in New Zealand, my very generous mother,

decided the entire family are going with her on her last overseas trip abroad.

Brother Craig chose India; his "spiritual home".

There is no place I want to go to less,

but if I want to see my sons Luke and Harry at Christmas,

I have to go.

This blog will tell the tale ...from start to finish.

Will I love India or hate it?

An Idiot Abroad ....
FESTIVAL OF COLOUR AND BABA PEOPLE
episode 2 India - Best bits and highlights. Karl Pilkington travels to India in an Idiot Abroad
FESTIVAL OF COLOURS…
“ I don’t know what’s going on- everyone just looks like they’re painters and decorators”
“I just hope we don’t stop at any more traffic lights , cos every time we stop, someone slaps my face with a load of colour”
Normally if I’m messing around with paint, I’m quite a tidy worker- this wouldn’t happen
“It is paintball basically but without the safety…there’s no goggles involved- there’s just booofff”
THE BABA PEOPLE
“ this is a bit weird isn’t it? They’re supposed to have special powers aren’t they? But look at em…I thought they be more religious looking, you know what I mean, all prim and proper, some of them haven’t even got pants on”
“ the 1st baba reminded me of Bill Oddie…even though he’s this mystical man, I was thinking ‘ I haven’t seen the Goodies for ages’”
“Then the other baba looked like Jim Morrison…there he was stark bullock naked…shades on….he was concerned about hurting his eyes in the sun but he wasn’t worried about sunburning his arse cheeks”
