Just before we left Australia, Harry read a brilliant tip in our Rough Guide to India; purify your own water! So we went to one of the great OZ outdoor stores and got a beautiful ceramic water filter and a tip to buy some chlorine in India. So every time we need some drinking water, we take a liter of water from the tap, leave it for a half an hour with a drop of chlorine to kill all what's alive in it. After that we hook up the filter to the drinking container and start pumping away. Beautiful fresh water with no funny taste. Better for the environment - that is already wasted with too much plastic. And healthier for us, as the Rough Guide mentioned that in a test some of the Indian brands of mineral water contained plenty of pesticides.So the Dutch milkmaid is transformed to an Indian water girl (can't carry the container on my head yet, though).
