After an incredibly turbulent 12-hour bus ride from Mumbai, we arrived in Jamnagar shaken but not stirred. Continuing the mission to learn as much as possible about Alun’s Polish grandparents, we headed to a school in Balachadi, just outside Jamnagar, where they studied back in the 1940s.

It's party time! Alun turned 30 this week and we celebrated his birthday in style! Presented with a birthday gift live on air, Alun looks back on a decade of travel and offers insights into how it feels to be travelling at 30.

We also reflect on what's been an incredible two months in Mumbai. Mumbai will, for many reasons, always hold a special place in our hearts; a true turning point in the TRIPOLOGY story.

Recorded live from a hotel with a no-star rating, we're travelling through Gujurat and heading north to the mountains. Now is a great time to join the adventure!

We set off on a 48-hour mission to uncover Alun's family history. After catching a night bus 9 hours south of Mumbai, we had just one day to discover as much as we could about Alun's Polish Grandparents, who lived in Valivade during the 1940s. We struck gold before breakfast, managing to meet the local Governor, who happily escorted us around the village and nearby city of Kolhapur, ensuring the trip exceeded our wildest dreams!

The Polish refugee camp in Valivade was the largest camp for Polish refugees in India. From 1942-1948, around 5,000 Poles lived there, mainly women and children.
