Radisson Hotel Khajuraho

... in the 'western group'. The 7/8 temples are set within a half square kilometer of manicured gardens. The temples themselves look awe-inspiring but it's the detail in the work up close that leaves its impression... obviously the shocking sexual poses are the most memorable... and in particular the one of a man sodomising a horse leaves nothing to the imagination. I'll let the pictures tell a thousand words...<br>After leaving the site, I stopped in the cafe ...

... very late after sitting stationery for a long time. We had tickets in general class so there were the usual randoms and chai wallahs walking around all night and a gail force wind blowing in through the open windows. I didn't get much sleep because i was mostly in fear of someone stealing my bag through the window while i slept. Once dawn broke, the train pulled into a station that turned out to be at Allahabad. We had gone the long way round to Satna and there were three guys trying ...

... s view, she said). I left her hugging and having fun with her niece and nephew, discussing their new outfits for her wedding.<br><br>I returned to see the rest of the Eastern Group temples: Vamana (with all its pretty elephants around the temple edges) and Brahma temple (the oldest in Khajuraho) - still as stunning visually.

... taxi and they quoted a figure equivalent to 30 Euros (can't be bad for a 4 hour trip), and then a guy approached us there and offered a price just below ... a couple minutes walk to a nice comfortable air con car and we were off! Pleasant trip, with good and aimiable driver. through surprisingly fertile countryside, we even went over quite a large river with lots of water in it, and we were in Khajuraho by 15h30. Having passed by the bus ...

... from living and working the past 6 years in Japan and his family wanted to throw a party in his honor. We were explained that there would be a big feast later that night at the party which would be held somewhere in a field near the woods. We drank the customary chai with some of the party goers beforehand to get a feel for their "vibe" and figured why not. We ended up arriving a little after the set time to ride out to the party and things got a little too weird and ...

... him by the second day, but we are still weary every time we go outside. We don't even say his name, fearing he is like Beatlejuice and will magically appear if called three times.
