... him to it as I hadn't bought a change of clothes/towel with me. It would have been refreshing in the midday heat though. There were a few groups of people playing, bathing, chilling in the shallow but fast flowing water.<br>We left after Raj spent a good half an hour in the river and had put his clothes back on to his wet self. Got back to the hotel and relaxed for a few hours, reading ...

... Dussera for cleaning I think in preparation for the words largest religeous gathering, the Kumbh Mela, next year!<br>I managed to buy a rechargeable torch from a small electrical shop before we walked through the market area and then took a cable car up to the Mansadevi temple on the top of a hill.<br>It wasn't such a busy day but the temple had the working of a well oiled tourist handling machine, from the queueing system, to the monotonous automation of the ...

... much is the AC room. &#8216;Rs 1200&#8217; - he said. &#8216;Ok, we would like to see it&#8217; - I said and was lead to a very ugly small and smelly room which looked much worse than the room I had previously for Rs 300 (without AC). We went back and Chris noticed that just behind the old guy back there is a board with the tariff and the AC dbl is Rs 950! I said &#8216;but there is a different price on the board just behind you! Why would you cheat like that?! I stayed here ...

... in a few opinions of my own, which predictably weren't welcome. When we declined their kind offer of a chillum (the Norwegians don't smoke and I don't like being stoned around strangers, especially obnoxious ones), some crusty old dreadhead woman laughed and referred to us as the 'straight gang'. Clearly intended as an insult. Quite odd, I've never been referred to as 'a bit straight' before, but compared to these nut jobs it's probably true. Anyway, at ...

Some pictures of Rishikesh are posted. I feel as though I'm running out of exciting adventures to update about, so I'm choosing to just post some pictures of the last few places than describe them all. Rishikesh is known for being the "yoga capital of the world," and I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. This town is at the very northern most point of ...

... pretty much) to go back to our rooms. two guys who wernt joining in the fun of Holi decided to stay with us and act as translator between us and the police. we refused to go back to the hotel, but the police were concerned about our safety as most of the guys throwing Holi powder around were drunk or had been drinking. we were trying to tell them that we didnt feel threatened or anything and that we were enjoying the experience ...

... of the kyack, the cord pulls the tight elactic lip of the deck off. 8 seconds (hard to say exactly) I lean forward at 90 degrees to the upturned kyack to reach forward for the cord and briefly consider how my current look would be made even worse by my face connecting with a rock at this point. I pull the cord and indeed, the lip pulls away and I pop out of the kyack and hit the surface, taking massive gulping panic breaths, I am still in calm waters and Lewis ...

... were great. Each day he'd pick a new spot to hold our classes and they were all amazing locations. He told Tanya that he thought I had the potential to be better than her and that really set her off (jokingly)...but it was fun to hear. The morning of Day 3 we skipped morning group yoga as we had signed up for an early mountain trek to a nearby temple. The trek was scheduled to take 3-4 hours...meaning if we left at 7, we'd get back in time for a late ...

... know how we didn't get in an accident. I think we fit four cars side by side, two in each direction, on a two lane road at many points. There were regularly three cars fit into two lanes. We got our side view mirror clipped by a car going in the opposite direction, and we were in many other situations that we barely escaped from.
