Arrived in Rishikesh

---

Took the bus from Haridwar to Rishikesh, auto rickshaw driver nearly started a fight with a taxi driver. They kept ramming into each other, crazy 'astards.

Met a couple from the Wales. Will and Hazel, they have been traveling for 4 months, their next country is Nepal. Very friendly and gave me lots of advice.

Bus journey was nice, very scenic and comfortable. Staying in the Swiss Cottage in high bank. Beautiful views of forested hills. The town is set on the Ganges.

This place is very "new age". It’s the "Yoga Capital of the World". There are lots of ashrams and all kinds of yoga, reki and massage classes. Not really my cup of tea but it has a great ambience.

Brought cotton trousers, purple t-shirt and a jazzy long sleve shirt. I feel like a native.
