On the night train, a guy came and gave us a spot on our foreheads, as a blessing from leaving the Holy City. (for a small fee of course.) Most people in the train were already asllep by this time, so we pretty much went to bed straight away. When we got back to Delhi, we piled into taxi's, where the guy just balanced our bags on the roof with now ties. It made things interesting to see who's bag was going to fall off first. We then checked back into the Ranouk H...

When we got to Varanasi, we checked in earely doors to the nicest hotel so far. A propper duvet! On the night time, we jumped into tuk tuks which took us to the river banks of the Ganges. It was raining really heavily. We got into a boat the took us to a motor boat futher out into the river. He then sailed upto the procession.

We woke with some very severe hangovers to get our train to Agra at 6:10. The train journey was thankfully comfortable and we managed to catch up on some sleep.

We arrived in Jaipur to be greeted by the monsoon rain again, so the first day we made good use of the free board games available in the cafe. Simon's foot infection was also getting unbarable and was struggling to walk as it resembled a balloon. We went sight seeing and thought we could walk to them all but then, while in the centre of the city, it chucked it down again. We we're 'rescued' by an over friendly tuk tuk driver who agreed to take us to see the 'Wa...

Early monring train to the holy city of Pushkar on possible the most uncomfortable seats ever! We then switched to the smallest seats ever on a mini bus. Its very hilly here and secluded. The hotel is lovely at the bottom of a mountain. Raj told us to watch out for locals that hand you a flower in the city. Its only a flower head, but if you accept it from them, you are agreeing to perform a religeous ceremony, which 12,000 people attend and costs you a mere $300...
