Update

So after 3 months of immersion in Indian boarding school we're out. Into the wide world to do our own thing. It's been cracking fun and a really special experience, something I guess, that not many people have. And hopefully something constructive will come out of it and this new connection between BCS and Marlborough breeds a brand new generation of holistically minded, global students. Bearing in mind Xander is going to Marlborough in September...

Anyway we left the school on Saturday evening, proper backpacker style, rucksacks on back and front and caught the overnight bus to Manali, the so called adventure town of India. Its actually just a massive hippy town, dreadlocks and marijuana the staples. Ill post a picture soon to assure you that I haven't grown dreadlocks.

From here we go to Daramsala and Macleod Ganj, the home of the Dalai Lama and the exiled Tibetan government before completing our northern loop with Amritsar and then going back to Shimla to pick up our suits. From there its south, retracing footsteps to Delhi and then onto Mumbai. Ill keep you all up to date and will catch up on all the extravaganzas from Shimla.

  1. Hi Max, How strange a suit is going to feel when you finally meet up with it again. Have really enjoyed reading your India boarding blog - but I don't think you can have counted the days right as NO WAY has three months gone past. Enjoy and stay safe! 'odmother nic x
