Quiz time

It's quiz time again.


This time we need your help with a few mysteries...


1. In a restaurant, we ordered a boiled egg (and some other things!). Ten minutes later the waiter came back to say that boiled eggs were 'not possible' - did we want fried or scrambled eggs?. Scrambled it was (and very nice too).... but why not boiled, if there are eggs for scrambling?


2. The Indian hotel bathroom is not complete without a set of plastic equipment:
- The bucket (to mix water, have a bucket bath, wash feet, wash clothes, etc )
- A jug (in place of loo roll - very environmentally friendly!)
- Sometimes a second jug or mini bucket to pour water on you from the bucket.

But what's the tiny tiny stool for???


Bathroom equipment: jug, mini bucket, mini stool and bucket.



Tonight we'll be discovering the difference between a plain omlette and an egg omlette... and might even try the bread omlette for you before we leave town - with rather high cholesterol!


Otherwise, still ok and roaming caves for the moment - discovering what makes a 'holiday resort' a 'last resort' and becoming secret air-con admirers as the powers of the three-armed ceiling god meet with temperatures over 40...

Maybe if you're not tall enough (just!) to reach the sink??!
Glad you're still having a fab time and learning lots!

Hello my lovely Harriet and Sylvia! Your blog is such a nice reading. So glad to see that you are having a brilliant time in India.

I missed you so much :-( Please keep us updated with your travelling. Looking forward to more stories.

PS: Oh, I have no idea what the stool is for but this is so funny :-)

as of the other day - the step might also serve as a safety platform for gekos who are caught short on the bathroom floor when the shower's turned on... :o)
