Sun Hotel Haridwar

... for a extortionate price, which turned out to be worth it as our dwelling took the form of a bamboo hut looking over the Ganges! A paradice in the city full of travelling pilgrims. After resting from our early start, we headed back to the centre of Haridwar (Har-Ki-Pairi) where Vishnu is said to have dropped some heavenly nectar and left a footprint behind... (sounds good eh?). The area was full of hindu pilgrims and tourists bathing in the ganges and giving their plates of burning ...

... and punched by the locals...so I am not quite sure where they stand in the big Indian picture. I asked around a few more times and then went to a net cafe for a while to upload some pictures and post some more blogs. Around lunch time I went to the Ganga Beach Cafe and ordered a vegetable paneer dish with cheese naan (I LOVE cheese naan) and just sat back and took in the scenery. It was then that I heard Portuguese (from Portugal) being spoken and I turned to the next ...

For anyone who doesn't know, Rishikesh is where the Holy Mother Ganga (River Ganges) descends from the Himalayas to the vast plains of India as she makes her way southeast to empty into the Bay of Bengal. I was doing research for Lisa's Himalaya film script, so took ...

... everyone was coming up to us tipping powder over our hair and rubbing it in our faces coating us in seconds. we thought later that it was because it was the fact that we were tourists that we were targeted the most (me in particular). as we were walking down the road people started throwing buckets and balloons at us from roof tops, there was just no escape at all!!! after only 15 mins or so the police came along and ordered ...

... the Gangesa wonderful experience apart from the mysterious dead bodies floating in the river and the landslide that happened in the middle (we though the helmets were for when we fell in the river not for falling rocks!) All of this was very interesting and exciting though and compounded by these two Romanian guys who spoke in advertising slogans, strange! I left Tanya who I have been traveling with here and I hope she has a fab time with her Aunty in the Ahsram.

... rupees/night commission. Ha! Beating the commission racket is very satisfying! Again, there is not too much to do in Rishikesh apart from yoga and watersports, but uncharacteristically we dabbled in both! The four of us took to the Ganges to try our hand at white-water rafting. We (thankfully) were accompanied by four Indian guides who told us what to do, therefore we avoided capsizing in the rapids, which were fairly rough (up to Grade 4 if that means anything to ...

... acontece em varanasi (e q eu nao tinha gostado), mas a daqui eu gostei. ela foi rapidinha menos de 10 minutos, tinha uns autofalantes tocando musica e numa parte com milhares cantando junto foi bem bonito. depois eles jogam uns barquinhos com petalas de flores e velas no rio. o unico problema eh q com o rio agitado os barquinhos afundavam em menos de 10 segundos.

... the main reason had to be that, unlike most courses, the lessons didn't start until a very civilised 9.30, far preferable to the 7am starts offered by some places. This did mean, though, that once the lesson was finished and I had showered, I wasn't having breakfast until almost 12 each day. Oddly, I never seemed to get hungry before, and after a few days became quite accustomed to just two meals a day. Following breakfast (and a visit to the fruit market ...
