Hotel Disney Inn Haridwar

... og gyder og masser af gadevendte koekkener og restauranter, der er i fuld gang fra 6 om morgenen til midnat. Vi tilbragte tre hele dage i Haridwar, men det var reelt kun en af dem, hvor vi oplevede noget. Den foerste morgen vaagnede en efterhaanden noget slidt Trusser op og var fuldkommen slatten i hele kroppen med 39 i feber. Efter nogle dage med daarlig mave og manglende appetit var den ellers saa naerkampsstaerke flottenheimer ikke ved sin normale styrke, og det meste af den ...

... called Kanwar on their shoulders that had containers for sacred water of the Ganges to be poured on the Shivlinga in their hometown on the occasion of Shivratri (Night of Shiva or "Great Night of Shiva") . This journey on foot, when completed, is supposed to fulfill their wishes and endear them to Lord Shiva. I gathered that they also put milk and honey with the holy water on Shivlinga and spend some time make it shiny as they believe that more shiny it is more /better ...

... that have occurred here in the town in the past few years. Also spent some time browsing a bookshop (where I was mercilessly ripped off), and sitting drinking coffee in a high house over the footbridge and river. The days in Rishikesh have been largely blurring into one another and so I remember little else of note from this largely uneventful day. Apologies for the lack of riveting anecdotes.

... who also have a yoga studio in Beechwood - they live in Rishikesh 6 months of the year and return to Canada in March/April. We weren't too keen on the location initially because it wasn't by the Ganges and all in all it didn't feel like a great area. It is located in a bit of a valley, surrounded on 3 sides by the Himalaya mountains which is quite spectacular, but there is some construction going on next door, a half ...

... you can imagine why. By this point a team of rafters from the same adventure school have caught up with us, they are going to go down with us for extra saftey. I hit the rapids, I am doing well, but it is a lot more choppy, there are obviously boulders under the water that are causing more turbulence on the surface, there is mostly white wash here, not much green. Doing well, paddleing as best I can in the right direction to Lewis's instruction... I turn at a funney ...

Rishikesh to Haridwar, India Nov 12, 2008<br><br> Shattered Ego<br><br> <br><br> There is a great quote from Brian Thompson's Great Train Journeys of the World that goes:<br><br> <br><br> "India is no place to say, 'I know exactly what I want to do' - something always intervenes and mocks that resolution. I travelled light, but still the greater part of my baggage was mental - my mind brought England along with me, and saw it shattered, sometimes with awe, and ...

... to take us back to the resort. When we arrived back at the main building our guide told us breakfast was closed which almost caused a riot...fortunately he was joking. We had a huge breakfast and then Tanya went off for some one-on-one mediation. I took the time to play the 9 hole par 3 mountain golf course which was basically carved into the side of the mountain. I lost a couple balls, but did surprisingly well. That evening we met an older couple from ...

... to be aimed towards travelers, and particularly Westerners. We had a good meal and chatted. We looked around at all the people of different sizes, colors, ages, and shapes, most of whom had backpacking packs and looked like they were traveling. It felt great to look around and wonder about all the travelers and their stories, only to realize that we were some of those travelers. After eating a great desert and paying something like $3 American ...
