April - Bill Parris - 'Colours of Rajhastan' Tour, 2012

5/4/2022

 
Picture
Bill Parris was our presenter for the April meeting.  He gave a fascinating presentation on a visit to India in 2012. 
Bill highly recommends our reading Jane's pictorial journal entries of their 'Colours of Rajasthan' tour, November 17 to December 12, 2012.  Enjoy!
Part 1 - From Mumbai to Jodhpur
Part 2 - Jodphur to Jsaialmer
Part 3 - From Jsaialmer to Bikaner
Part 4 - Bikaner to Pushkar
Part 5 - My Most Amazing Birthday - November 29th 2012
Part 6 - Ranthambore National Park to Agra
Part 7 - Agra to Delhi 
It was disappointing to have so few members in attendance in April.   Hopefully more will come to listen to David Palmer on Tuesday May 3rd when he will take us on a stroll through Southern France.   Hope to see you there.
