Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Life can be one heck of an adventure in more ways than one!
The Love Detective
What you need to know before your trail
Ruby Miller, a romance writer, has just had her heart shattered in to smithereens and since she writes about romance for a living, well that just won’t do. Her agent sees her pain and tells here that the only way she’’ll manage to really get over her pain is to travel and have a holiday. So the destination she chooses? Goa in India – with her sister as travel companion. A chance for a bit of sisterly bonding on the Goa beaches.
This is just a holiday for the girls, a holiday to have fun. Not fall in love and marry the fitness instructor you barely know. Well that is what Amy does and just when Ruby and Amy are set to come home.
Locations
ResetTravel Guide
India, Goa – the place dreams are made of and two English girls, lost and love lorn make for funny and amusing travel guides. Whether it’s buying tacky souvenirs or thinking that the trains there will be the kind where people sit in seats like in England, there are some misconceptions about the place .
Goa
“Goa’s laid-back vibe is infectious”
Taj Majal
She is told that she cannot leave Agra without visiting the Taj Mahal. During her visit, although she was opposed to it, and anything to do with love, she claims that everything she’s feeling is the Tah Majal’s fault and that however much she tries to resist all this love stuff, it rubs off.
She finds out that it took more than 23 years and several thousand master craftsmen to create. Legend has it that they then had their hands chopped off so they couldn’t build anything else.
Pushkar and Udaipur
“It’s teeming with a colourful mix of Pushkar locals, Western Tourist and Hindu pilgrims” Then it’s off to the wedding mecca of Udaipur and the floating hotel in a lake. Gorgeous!
Transport
Well this a travel guide with a difference which paint a rich and colourful picture as to what it must be like to travel across India – the trains, the animals, the dubious and potentially dangerous tuk tuks in the traffic which seems to have a mind of its own. Some of the streets don’t have pavements and as for lanes in the roads!
Jodhpur
Just as well the final destination seems to be described as a place and haven of peacefulness. The fort which looks out over the walled city below is a highlight here and Jodhpur is also known as the blue city since its houses are painted indigo! With imagery like this, you can imagine how it feels to be seeing this through Ruby and Amy’s eyes.
