(Not India but another couple of friends did one of those hols on a traditional boat on the Nile....and went swimming in it. :shock:

When I saw him some time after he'd been on antibiotics for something like a chest infection. He said the chest thing was much better but, for the first time in ~2 months since the holiday, he didn't have gippy guts. :lol: ).
