So, here is my diary entry for Week Four of my travels:
My Bubblecraft has landed – where? It makes me a while to work this out. The Garden of Eden? Possibly but not quite. I have almost been across the Roof of the World – I certainly had some spectacular views of the most mighty of mountain ranges on my journey but now I am back down to earth and the stadium in which I am standing is eerily quiet. That would not be the case if it were filled to its 80,000 capacity. Might I see David Hasselhoff here? No – wrong sort of Knight Rider! Although people have been living in this city for over 2,000 years, it was not until the 17th Century and the arrival of a foreign company that it sprang to world-wide prominence. Now home to some 4.5 million people, the city is a state capital and the third largest in the country. Crossing the city’s river are four bridges, one of which is named after an Irishwoman who gave her all to India, founding schools and nursing people, during a plague. I don’t have time to venture out which is a shame as there is so much that I could see. But now the gates are opening and the crowds will soon be streaming in so I must slip back in the Bubblecraft and let it take me where it will.
Where am I?
Which mountain range did I see?
What is the name of the stadium?
What is the name of the foreign company?
What is the name of the river?
What name was given to the Irishwoman?
