    Just one more step to go...

    February 23, 2017 in India ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Today began bright and early for a morning hike up hundreds of steep steps to a temple on top of a mountain. The climb was hard and the temple disappointing_ more an unfinished empty building site but the view of Pushkar was spectacular as the sun rose from behind the mountains. After an easier descent we went for some muesli breakfast and rooftop coffee. Fresh fruit never tasted so good! The middle of the day was relaxing by the pool before we headed off to meet the others for a camel ride across the dunes. When arriving and seeing the camels and their condition I no longer wanted to take part but was made to by the guy there. To say I was relieved it was over is an understatement! Never again. After arriving at the dunes we dressed in traditional clothing and had a magician, dancers and musicians perform for us while the sun set before some lovely homemade Indian food. After the camel experience the evening did definitely get much better and it was lovely experiencing yet another new aspect of Indian culture.Read more
