Heldigvis var det ogsaa de foreloebigt sidste krampetraekninger med maveproblemer og daarligdom, saa dagen efter var vi klar til at tage en tidlig bus en times tid yderligere nordpaa til yogamekkaet Rishikesh...

... drive before....they're insane) and the road was quite rocky and covered in loose pebbles and stuff. Also...with the British road system...we were driving on the left side of the road....near the cliff's edge. I was just sitting in the back hoping for the best and praying to make it there in one piece. We made it down to the river's edge and noticed that we had found a prime bathing spot. The main river was flowing in the back and a little bay/alcove had been ...

... foreigners. There was an Australian girl, a guy from Hong Kong, a guy from Singapore, a girl from Mexico (don't worry, she's H1N1 free) and a tall guy from Spain. They slept for the most of the ride while I stayed awake and took in the surroundings. Upon our arrival in Rishikesh we spent a good 20 minutes bargaining with a rickshaw driver. We would not pay more than RS$20 per person to get to our destination. Finally, the 6 of us arrived in Laxman Jhulla (the main ...

... about their daily lives which was always a cultural experience. The Himalaya Mountains...a place that I have dreamed of visiting since I was very young! They are as big and beautiful as one might imagine.

He said "you get off when I get off - in Rishikesh", I did this after the best part of 10 hours, in a non descript busy town, "Is this rishikesh then?" I said - he didn't need to answer this as the bus ...

... Me too. Classes started at 8.30am, with a two hour yoga work out, which was repeated from 4pm until 6pm and then a lecture from 6.30pm until questions ceased, usually around 9ish. This was often followed with some other activity such as an anahata meditation aimed at energising and activating the heart chakra. For this we all sat in a big circle amid candles and with anahata invigorating music playing. We would then project deep love to the ...

... my welcome I walked back to the hotel making use of the raincoat the New Zealander had given me in Manali. The next day I walked to the base of a mountain on the west side of the town and started the uphill one mile climb to the Mansa Devi Temple. There were cable cars leading to the temple but I decided to walk and take in the scenery. I bought a bag of prasad, a food offering for the goddess on the hill, and hiked up the winding road. Obliviously enjoying the ...

... are like, etc. We had to check out of our hotel by noon, but our taxi wasn't scheduled to pick us up until three. Half of the group went to do some last minute shopping while Carrie and Adam and I went in search of some waterfalls mentioned in the guide book.
