Narelle Evans: Gap Year Images

Narelle Evans

Gap period: Sep 2005 to Jan 2006
Hi,
I decided to take a gap year prior to going on to university to gain valuable work experience and at the same time, travel and explore another culture.

I chose India because it offered the perfect combination of new and old - vibrant and dynamic cities and places of great historical interest.

Love Nellie

Crazy Weekend
 New Delhi

Narelle Evans: Gap Year Images Saturday Me and Tom went on a sightseeing day. A guy from work called Prashant picked us up and took us everywhere. We went to this craft market, then we went to the zoo. The zoo was really nice, it was huge. They had random monkeys that weren't in their cage running around and they were well sweet. I also got to see elephants which made my day. We also managed to pay the zookeeper to let us into a staff enclosure and we got to see the tigers up close. I even got to touch the tiger cub! How cool is that!!

From the zoo we went to get some southern Indian food which was tasty and from there we went to the National Museum. There are so many carvings and they are so detailed. I also got to see some amazing ancient jewellery and we saw one of the oldest preserved mummies.

It was lovely and I saw more tourists there than I have in the whole month combined! I got some nice pictures of the day out to show everyone. At India gate we ran into a snake charmer as well so got some cool pictures of me holding a cobra.

Sunday I had a hip hop class to teach but apart from that I just chilled out at home with the family all day. That brings us to today. I go on my tiger Safari Saturday which I m really excited about. Over a week completely on my own with nothing to worry about with my own room and....it's just gonna be heaven!
