Here's what the residential guest area looks like. Incredible isn't it?

Incredible it is.
*makes a mental note to surely visit this place some time in the future*

Now that theOne's also logged in, there'll be more write-ups.

Sam and TheOne® , i have been following this thread from day 1 onwards and it is so beautiful that I have just not been able to find words to express it (cant still but what the heck). Thank you for sharing the details of this lovely trip with us.
You guys have made me feel like I am looking at India from a totally different perspective. It feels like I am watching a lovely romantic movie ...stuff that fantasies are made of.
Bless the both of you.
Best wishes ...always

...and there is some Italian/Eritrean blood in him too. Fortunately Jenny is 100% German so their kids will be atleast 50% of something.

Schönes Paar . Gott segnen.

Nice pics of Neemrana Sam !! I would definetely visit this place end of this year when its winters. Summers are going to be terrible here !!

BTW what car did you drive ? You don't have your own in Delhi na ? Let me guess - you took the JBL Innova ? Right ?

Yes, it was hot in Neemrana, but Agra was hotter.

Come to Agra now - its boiling today !!!

I know its your car baba !! I thought you were taking a rental there.

I thought your JBL office in Delhi ( upcoming ) uses taxis.

No. We used to have a scorpio there (I drove this to the Himalayas, check it out in the Team-BHP meet section, The highest Team-BHP meet yet) and we got rid of this last year, replacing it with a Diesel Innova, with those nice seats (captain seats or whatever they are called).

It was a wonderful experience to drive this minivan (My first time, normally the driver is there), it handles like a car.

Yup, a white Innova with a luggage carrier on the roof so most people in Delhi esp. on the Mehrauli-MG road stretch think it's a Taxi & start trying to flag it down!! Some even jump in the car's path to make it stop!!

Hi Sam....I agree Neemrana is beautiful. I went there last december with my friends cheers:. Hardly 2 hrs drive from delhi and the road is nice too. An absolute must see for all and delhites in particular.

Keep 'em coming !!

finneyp · 14th April 2008, 14:35

Great going Sam & Jenny!

Nice to explore our country with both of you, pics and narration are awesome as usual!
Sorry to know about the unfortunate incident at Agra, but Sam dealt with it perfectly!
