Calm before the storm.
Saturday, January 6th, 2007Namaste my Lovelies..
This past week has been go, go, go!
Finally got out of dehli for a lovely detour up north to Rishekish and Haridawr, two very holy cities on the Ganges river, Up there at the beginning of the mountains the water is a clear aqua marine that becokns to be swam and bathed in. The sky, so blue and the air must have been the freshest I have ever smelt… With the lush green mountains on either side of the river, one could almost believe that this truly is a place of the gods.
Ours days spent walking along the ghats finding secrect coves among the bank in between huge polished boulders, perfect for gazing into the swirling eddies of the Ganga, the rushing water soothing the mind, and the soft mountain sunshine, warming the soul.. Yes I would reccomend Rishekish to anyone, especillay one who needs to find a little peace. It seems to emanate from here:)
I had to move on a bit quicker than I would have liked but,
Koi-bhaat- nehang
No worries..
sometimes you have to do little scouting missions and then head back (again ) to Dehli.
One wayward Nurse and Greg were waiting for adam and I when we arrrived from the single coldest night travelling on a train that I have ever encountered.. Tonight for our journey to Varanasi we have stocked up on fuzzy blankets and scarves..
Holy Shiva, this is India, who thought it could be so cold?
Varanasi will be full power.
Dehli times ten or so I am told..
I will let you know when I get there..
whooppieee!
Other than that, ended up finding the only Zen garden in Dehli by happenstance yesterday as well as the most posh and lovely garden filled areas.. Just when I thought Dehli was nothing but dust, fumes and rickshaws drivers, I get proved wrong massively.
Dehli isn’t so bad,
just really hard to leave and stay gone.
big love to everyone, see you on the other side.
