The girls greatly enjoyed the Indian shopping experience and with the exchange rate offering about one hundred rupees to the pound it was very easy for us to get an idea of prices in India.

| Shopping for gifts |
 |
| So many to choose from |
 |
| Negotiating the best price |
 |
| With one of our favourite stall holders |
Here are some things to think about next time you are out shopping:
a) Petrol was under 70p per litre
b) The 7 hour coach transfer from the trek to the project cost us only £80 - that's just under £5 each
c) The tilers at the project were on a stagering £8 per day - and they worked very hard!
d) An average meal out would be around £1.50 - 2.00
e) Tuk Tuk rides were about £1 per journey
 |
| Tuk Tuks - everyday transport Indian style |
 |
| This one needed an extra powerful engine! |
 |
| Where's our driver? |
 |
| This driver was so jolly and very safe too! |
And finally here's one for the parents at CH - fees for private education at the local Indian school were around £360 per year!
