Day 44 (Sep 30) - Bodhgaya to Diu, and all between

Ok, a brief posting this time.

Since Bodhgaya I've done the following:
* been sick (vomited in sink on train, and in a moving autorickshaw)
* seen more temples even after temple-overload in Bodhgaya.
* been to Orchha, Khajuraho, Vadodara, and now I'm in Diu in Gujarat.
* re-routed my trip to make it to Bangalore for the India vs. Australia cricket test

Diu is a fantastic little island. I'm just chilling, after being sick for 3 days, and a reasonable amount of sight seeing in that time, plus a hell of a lot of travelling, I'm a little worn out, so some rest and respite in this village is really welcome.
I met a cricket team on the bus from Vadodara to Diu, who are playing a 3 day match here. I'll check that out tomorrow after an ocean swim and some breakfast. Oh, it's a tough life!

I've hired a 150cc bike, so am scooting around the 13km long island on that.

Oh, and I've not been caught up in any of the flooding (Orissa and Bihar), or bombings (Delhi, Gujarat) or the stampede (Rajasthan) . So I'm safe and well incase you were wondering.

And I'm also considering extending my India stay (I'm scheduled to be leaving on 19 October, but may extend another month).

That it all.
