... one person. At the third place I stopped at I ran into three people who would also be leaving on the 8:40 AM train to Chandigarh. We started talking and decided to cab it together the next day. We exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet at 7 AM. There were two girls: Annina and Sara (both Swiss) and one guy: Eyal (Israeli - they're EVEYWHERE in India!) I went back to hotel...relieved that I had found another set of traveling buddies and also a taxi ride into Haridwar.

... an Ashram owned by the family of some friends of a family that Kate knows (see Delhi post for descriptions of how convoluted these chains of hosts have become). The Ashram was a quiet place at night, though loud during the day, when the school that occupies it fills with 300 yelling, running boys. We only had one evening to take a tuk-tuk down to the river, and walk amongst the crowds of worshipers. We had only time in the morning for one temple, Mansa ...

... Wall" which flipped the 14 foot raft, as was expected! The rest of the day was full of rockin' whitewater interspersed with beautiful calm sections! We were joined in the raft by two friendly folks which made for an international grouping!

... river, or as it is reffered to at this point in the country, the Ganga river, but it is the same river, and has two largish suspension bridges that cross it at either end, it is a very attractive town, many temples and intersting yoga based architecture around, very photogenic. It has the same level of traffic though, most Indian towns seem to double as expressways, something I have noticed here that I havn't notcied elsewhere though is their use of horns. Ive ...

... it was late, traffic wasnt too heavy. we had such good laughs.A very cool incident was meeting Claudia in my hotel. She had booked the same place we were staying in... what a coincidence. Another guy left the group today travelling to Udaipur. So we were 4 girls and Tobi. Early, we took the train to Haridwar (one min later we would have missed it... train station was a big chaos), which a very meaningful ...

... a couple of days just enjoying the peace of it all. Add to that the odd, quiet 'beach' on the bank of the Ganges, some good company and a handful of relaxed cafes, and it would be very, very easy to waste weeks here, as had a friend first met on the Annapurna circuit and randomly met again.
