And now something completely different-Rajasthan
We have finally reached Rajasthan, our first stop Pushkar.A fairy tale began. The sun in shining, birds are singing...
Speaking in relative terms, this place is very quiet (although i woke up at 5 am because my earplugs fell out and mantras and prayers were a bit to loud for my sensitive ears:) and not crowded. Streets are colorful- women in beautiful saris, picturesque markets, nice buildings... Compared to previous places there IS a scenery around us, a beautiful one. I promise you great pics. one of the bests from our tour-de-Pushkar in sunset. Beautiful, beautiful temples by the lake. It's... Well, you'll see.
Speaking of a lake, again there is a holly water involved. HIndus come to bathe here. Question of hygiene rises again. You should see it. It's so dirty and smelly. I don't wanna know what's in there. In Varanasi I saw people putting holly water into the mouth. And wash their clothes. Don't forget that all the ashes from cremation is thrown into Ganges and corps of pure people and animals as well!!!!
OK, back to magical Pushkar.Just for you info, this place is strictly vegetarian- no meat and eggs allowed, no alcohol. there are some heavy beer-lovers with me but even they don't complain sitting around with a glass of tea. It's delicious. My favourites are lemon-ginger tea with honey and black ginger tea with milk. Not to mention mango lassi and all other delicious food. Like eating in the Indian restaurant every day:) Yummy!!!
I also had Ayurveda massage. The best I've ever had!!!
What more can I say? I'm a happy bunny and life is sooo great!!!
