Day 14 - Pushkar

Hotel feels like a proper hotel hooray! Has hairdryer - not that I use one, bath etc etc. Pushkar is a bit hectic with lots of white people trying to be Indians and they all look like hippies to me! Good for shopping though. The main feature of Pushkar is the lake which the Hindu's believe was formed from Lord Bhrama dropping a lotus leaf there nad it formed a lake. So its very holy to Hindu's. Its also a great way for them to get money out of tourists by offering them flowers to put on the l...

Day 15 - Pushkar

Today did a camel safari, I laughed soooo mcuh especially when we started to move fast! I loved my camel called Rama. ALthough he liked stopping for a drink, which I thought camels were supposed to be able to hold water in their humps for ages ? Ah well! Stopped the Camels for some Chai and some local gypsies started to play us some music on instruments that looked like sitares. Again we became the local attraction, I think everyone was curius and the musicians were definitely in it for the m...

Pushkar

Pushkar is a town in the state of Rajasthan and means born due to a flower. In Hindu mythology it is said that the gods released a swan with a lotus in its beak and let it fall on earth where Brahma would perform a grand yagna. The place where the lotus fell was called Pushkar. And it's a dry town. The Lotus flower formed a great lake, and its here that Hindus pilgrimage to perform their puja's and bath in the holy lake. There is nothing else in Pushkar, and its dependence on Pilgrims and for...

Sunset Camel Safari + Rob could have been jailed!?

It was a looooooong drive with no one in the mood for it but finally reaching Pushkar about 2.30pm. Intrepid sure aren't silly. The first part of the trip was staying in average accommodation about what we expected, but with our last 3 accommodations of the tour they've pulled out all stops. Our final 2 nights were in the Jagat Palace Hotel, marble floors in the bedrooms, 4 poster beds, antique furniture, baths in huge ensuites (great for Rob to rig up our clothes rope for washing hahaha). We...

... enigmatic answers. I try to be honest. I say that I don't really know. I know that I love him, that we have a window of time before it all falls apart to be together. And I want to be, right now, I want to live in the presence and **** the future and let what will be will be. Because all the planning in the world makes nothing sure,

... and sorted out a room for Mel and me but by the time we had eaten and made our way up to the hotel the owner was totally whacked out on something and didn't remember my phone call and had put someone else in the room. He offered us a minging store room but in the end we all just squeezed into the girls room for a cosy nights sleep after an entertaining lassi on the roof terrace. We got up at stupid o'clock in the morning and ...

... plusieurs personnes qui semblaient confirmer jusqu'à ce qu'on nous demande si nous avions déjà les billets. Nous avons dit non et ils sont partis en rigolant ! sympa non ? J ai insisté et soit disant que la question visait à nous rembourser si jamais nous avions les billets. Je pense qu'ils ne voulaient tout simplement pas de femmes ou pas d'occidentaux. Nous sommes donc rentré sans festival nous reposer à l'hôtel un peu excédées. Et nous avons décider de partir le lendemain.

No Curry, No Hurry - Still In Pushkar

... noise it makes when served. It is vegetables, nuts and rice with a choice of extra added feature ingredient like tofu, mushroom or eggplant and rice, lying on slightly charred cabbage leaves and all served sizzling hot on a steaming cast iron plate. The dish is nutritious and smells and tastes divine. For some reason i have a fetish for the smell of burnt cabbage leaves. Nobody knows where the sizzler originated but most restaurants serve it. It costs around 80-100 rupees ...

It;s tiring being healthy in India

... can't help but love this place. The trip has gone so fast, and I'm sad to think that I'm almost halfway through my time here. I'm looking forward so much to meeting the women of Kolkata, but I'm sad to be leaving the people in my tour group. The food, health and hygiene issues have been so minor compared to the amazing things I am seeing and the joy I am getting out of seeing all these cities. But it's not finished just yet... We soon arrive at Jaipur ...

... hippy travelers town fell to it, many people we spoke to were spending several weeks here, but unfortunately I do not have that sort of time on my hands. The first port of call was the edge of the lake where we reluctantly had a Puga blessing performed on us by "a priest" the whole process was a little money orientated rather than religious. In only of the many tucked away temples we ...
