The Golden Temple and the Border

Claire left us in Varanasi so Ragga and I headed off together for Amritsar, where our friend Badris that we met in Delhi, came to meet us. This time we had a 24 hour train ride. It was, of course, a very humorous ride. We shared our berth with a very friendly man who was concerned with all that we did. He inspected our fruit before we ate it (we had managed to buy a bad papaya and a bad apple for the journey) but we had nothing to worry about as he warned us not to eat them, by yelling from h...

Amritsar Day 1

Ok, so we got up this morning hoping for a better day than yesterday. The travel agent worked very hard to help us reschedule our flight to Amritsar and we were going to try again this afternoon. The morning is fairly uneventful. A nice breakfast with tea and lots of amazing toast. Devika appears to be a little under the weather. Nothing horrible yet, just general fatigue and congestion. We chat for a bit and then go downstairs and repack out traveling bags for only a single overnight trip. I...

Amritsar Day 2

I knew we didn't have that much time today before our flight leaves back to Delhi. So I kinda wanted to get an early start, but Rebecca is still dealing with all sorts of uncomfortableness. She was downright miserable last night when we were walking around the Golden Temple, but she stuck it out because she knew I wanted to be there. I originally set the alarm for pretty early, thinking I could run over to Jallianwala Bagh when it first opened, before it became overloaded with tourists. But a...

After the mayhem of Delhi, some relative sanctity in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar. The Golden Temple was amazing, the people friendly and not afraid to smile.

Sikhide Mekas

Amritsari jõuame kusagil lõuna paiku ja maandume LP-st leitud esimeses hotellis. Toad tunduvad esmapilgul üsna puhtad ja satikateta, alles hiljem põgeneb üks prussakas dushiruumist Kaarle korraldatud üleujutuse eest. 850 ruupiat ilma konditsioneerita kahene tuba.
Amritsari elanikkond koosneb valdavalt sikhidest, keda on terve Eesti rahvastiku jagu ja kes on hindudest tunduvalt sõbralikumad ja vahem tüütud.
Pärast esmast dushi ja riietevahetust võtame riksha, et sõita vist linna ühte pee...

higistamine jätkub

Hommikusöök hotelli lähedal dhabas, kus mul õnnestub teha kõige väiksem arve.
Astume läbi Jallianwala Bagh'i memoriaali juurest. See siis koht, kus inglased 1919.a. ca 2000 inimest tuimalt maha lasid. Relvastamata rahvas, naised, lapsed jne. Süüteoks meeleavaldus ajal, mil rahvakogunemised olid keelatud. Ürituse korraldaja kindral Dyer sai tagasi koju minnes valitsuselt kingiks lossi ja hõbedase mõõga kirjaga "The Saviour of Punjab". Hästi tehtud, vapper mees... Rusuv lugu. Aga tutvun mit...

Relaxing at last

... to sit and camp in and some of us have opted for air conditioned rooms so what more could you want. The house itself is a bit of a Raj period piece and the gardens have parakeets flying about, chipmunks running here and there, mina birds and there’s a lovely glossy black bird with a long tail that comes to drink from the pool. There’s also a group of very pampered water buffalo living in the courtyard. So this is our third full day here, the ...

Amritsar

I was up at 3 AM because I still needed to get my bag packed. I always have my sheet, pillow case and towel out because I use tme until the last minute. I can't pack anything else until I pack those three items because it's a very strategical positioning that needs to occur in order for my bag to be comfy for carrying. By 3:30 AM I was already packed and ready to go. I felt bad for having to wake Annina...but it was a necessary evil. I used my cell phone to light the stairs and made my ...

... use. They inspected my bag 3 times and let me in after I insisted on having my entrance fee back. The zoo had most animals: elephants, giraffes, lions, zebra, Himalayan & sloth bears, hippos, Benghal white tigers, deer of every kind, orang-utans, beautiful birds (including parakeets of different colours). I had to walk quickly to complete the grounds in 1.5hrs as a storm was brewing just before I was leaving. I didn't make the exit before the heavens opened and I ...

Amritsar - A golden experience

... us up to date on the history of Sikhism. It's funny, but back home it's fairly common to see Sikhs and yet I knew little of their religion. After spending a few hours with this kind man and listening to his wealth of knowledge, I feel I have a better grasp of their culture and find them to be intelligent, generous and well-mannered. The highlight of our tour was a visit to the kitchen, a kitchen that feeds up to 80,000 people each day, for free. Our ...
