Day nine I stopped using toilet paper

Friday 08/03/2019 Richie

Once I arrived in Rajasthan in the lovely town of Bundi I got to the cheapest hotel of my whole trip. 230 Rupees a night, with shared toilet. For some reason in my room on the beach there was a roll of toilet paper so I just kept using it, but now here in “real India” the paper was no longer supplied and I had to go kack handed just like the 1.3 billion indians do. There’s a lot to be said for it much easier on the bottom for a start 😉

Day nine I stopped using toilet paper

So I spent four fantastic days in Bundi, rented a bike and went cycling around and just had such a nice time. It was much colder this far north though so by the time the sun went down it was polar jacket and a few layers to keep warm and a nice thick blanket on the bed.

Bunty’s Ringo Star Restaurant

Bunty was a really nice guy, so I shot this video of him for the fun of it and put it on-line in the hope that it would create a bit of business for him. In the end I did a few videos for people and they were all just so happy about it, it was very gratifying.

India 2019 Lifes a beach well almost

Friday 08/03/2019 Richie

The first nine days in India I relaxed on my favourite beach in the whole wide world, well at least the favourite one that I have actually been to. I don’t actually like spending time on beaches, unless as in a life gone by, it’s as a base for scuba diving. However Gokarna is different and I am happy to spend time here. Possibly, as it is easy to walk into the village and have a change of scene or quite simply as it is such a chilled out place.

Watch a short film showing Gokarna, here

I did not do much filming or photography, I was just adjusting to being back in India, and after my time in Gokarna I booked a 22 hour train journey to take me North to the state of Rajasthan.

The last collection An Post Allihies

Friday 05/10/2018 Richie

An Post Office Allihies, “The Last Collection” Allihies An Post Office, “The Last Collection”, filmed a while back and put together now that there are only a few months left. Good luck to Eily on her retirement when it happens. The village will be lost without the Post Office, I guess it is a case of being a business before a service….. Ireland will lose the furthest Post Office from Dublin, Allihies will lose a service and a social meeting point. Tourists will see the effects of dying villages on the “Wild Atlantic Way”….
