Spent the last couple of days chilling out in Pushkar...it's very calm compared to the cities...no autos which is fantastic.
Didn't get up to much apart from sit by the pool as it was so warm I needed to cool down occasionally.
Wandered round the streets during the afternoons and evening and sampled various restaurants menus.
Managed to plough through numerous books in those chilled out days.
Got the old Pushkar passport so my whole family should now receive masses of good luck! here's hoping! Although the donation amount (even though quite generous) seemed to cause a stir.
On my last night a procession went through town and a ageing western hippy made me laugh by dancing in a very over exagerated manner through the street to the band...that's exactly what I expected to see in Pushkar...still fair play to him, he looked like he was having a laugh!
The morning I left I decided that I'd hike up the mountain to the Savitiri temple...so putting best foot foward started off all guns blazing...I think the picture at the top shows how knackered I was at the end. Met an Indian man and his sister
walking up...to which he then said I should go and see them in West Bengal. He wanted to swap addresses about 2 minutes after I met him...friendliest people on the earth.
