Don't dress to impress in Marrakech, as you might attract the wrong sort of attention.

Two nights in Macau should be plenty. It's a nice place and the centre is very Portuguese but it's not the largest place in the world. If you like casinos, though, you'll have a whale of a time.

I really liked the Tian Tan Buddha in Lantau island in HK and that'd be my suggestion, for what it's worth. The cable car there gives a nice view too.

Just back from a long weekend in Berlin where I had a fantastic time.

That's all I have booked for now. I did look at doing something for Easter but the prices everywhere are silly so I'm going to stop at home.

I've only just spotted this and it sounds great. She will be covering a lot of ground so will be exhausted upon her return.

I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to Kolkata & Darjeeling and may well fly into the Darjeeling area and get the toy train back. In my experience of Indian trains 'express' is a bit of a misnomer as they don't seem too go that fast and they seemingly stop randomly in the middle of nowhere. I do remember getting the Shatabdi express and learning that the word means 'arrow' so she can 'impress' everyone with that nugget!

I've only travelled first class in India once and I have to say that there was no atmosphere so prefer standard class but, having said that, I'd go first class if I were getting a sleeper. I would suggest that she spends a little time sitting with the masses just to get a feel for it.

Varanasi & Shimla are places that I would like to visit. Shimla is the old summer capital as the heat of Calcutta was too hot. I had the chance to visit Shimla a while back but my friend went alone while I stayed in Chandigarh to watch the last two days of a test match. Unfortunately, England had other ideas and collapsed the next morning leaving me a day and a half with nothing to do. There was an election on and the state was declared dry so I couldn't even get a beer.

I've been to Delhi three times and I'm not particularly a fan. The traffic is awful and the pollution worse. Vehicles run on LPG but it hasn't made a huge difference to the air quality. That's not to say that it's a boring place. Quite the contrary, it's very lively and there are some interesting sights. It's the pollution that puts me off but friends that I travelled there with didn't mind it as much as me so perhaps I'm just a bit grumpy about it for no reason.
