... land! The men we were with bought some salwaar kameez and sweet treats for their daughters and wives back home "So they will encourage us to travel again" they said. <br><br>Finally we visited a Hindu temple. The first cultural experience there is being accosted by little children with marigold "leis" for sale to offer to the gods.

There was also a very informative section on India's freedom struggle. The ...

... places, but stayed for a few days to do something different. Spent 3 nights there without sleep. The 1st night my room was so awful that I decided to sleep with the lights on; you never know what could come out of a little corner in the dark! I actually debated sleeping on the floor or the bed, but thanks to my spleeping bag, I chose the bed.
