from Aurangabad I caught a van to head to Fardapur, close to the Ajanta caves..
here I had a contact through my friend Subhankar, who hosted me in mumbai..and i had the chance to be "hosted" at the local BP station..where they offered me drinks and then drove me to the caves with a twowheeler..

caves were pretty cool, some really nice and well preserved paintings.. all of them are buddhist, so the main topic is the same, but reinterpreted in different styles..interesting.
was a superhot day, and the area is incredibly dry..would be cool seeing it blooming just after the monsoon...

met again the dutch girls, and chatted them up into couchsurfing.com..will see if they decide to sign in. buddha

 .

a snack and then back to aurangabad, this time with a local crazy bus...2 more hours..and after that...again 5 to head to pune...i'm getting to sired and used to this way of travelling that i can even fall asleep on this buses that bump every 25 seconds...roads are full of holes and the buses do not have any kind of suspension...i let you imagine how it could be..but even though i think you just have to experience them..

anyways...had dinner with some other young passengers of the bus and then slept till amost pune..where i was picked up by Suyog...
