We had an organizational and sightseeing day in Bhopal on Monday, the Hindu day off.

... to be up wind from a garbage fire. I noticed that suddenly the voices got louder and that I needed to be careful where I walked. Then I realized...we were walking through an outdoor public toilet! With agile steps we made it and on the way back crossed to the other side of the street.

... just the peacefulness of the ruins was worth the trip. We really enjoyed our time here, and had a lot of fun talking to the local sightseers as well. Following our friend Chris's advice, we went to the Bharat Bhavan to admire some modern art. They had international exhibits and Indian ones as well. Not what I would have expected in Central India, and all in all a nice change of pace!

... get there, well it took me 7 hours 40 minutes! First I went to platform 2 like the guy who sold me the ticket told me to. Then, I found out the train would be delayed for 2 hours. But after a while they stopped announcing my train so I got worried and asked around to find out when it was coming. I was told the train would now come to platform 4, so I took my luggage and moved there. When I got there a train arrived but it was going in the ...

... his bike, Annette had given him a pen the night before so we were good mates. He said that he was a shopkeeper and could get us some bikes. We followed him to a motorbike shop and they got out some old pushbikes with flat tyres. I would have preferred to go to the bloke hiring out pushbikes in the market but didn't want to offend anyone.

Basically different tribal dwellings built on the site by tribal people acorss the whole of India ...
