9.12. Toller Tag in Pushkar

Ganz großes Dankeschön an Babs, der ich den Tipp "Pushkar"verdanke! 🙏 Aber die schönsten Erlebnisse von heute sind gar nicht in Bildern eingefangen bzw. nicht abbildbar, weil inwendig erfüllend...
Das habe ich an Prasun geschrieben, der mich fragte, wie es nun sei in Pushkar. Er hatte mir das Hostel Moustache ans Herz gelegt, wo er in Corona- Lockdown- Zeiten einen ganzen Monat verbrachte.
"Good! 👍Yesterday I had a wonderful day: 12 hours out of the hostel! First Yoga and Meditation at that Ashram, where the young owner (32 years) of the Moustache lives.
Than temples and Rooftop- breakfast at the Lake view Cafe in the Village. After this I was searching for a place to rent a bicycle. But google maps leads me totally wrong - so I walked in vain 3 km in the sun out of the village and back... 🥴👎
All the people that I asked, were convinced, that there is NO possibility to rent one in Pushkar. Only Motorbyces and Scooter...

So we chanted it together: three of us - finally for more than 20 minutes- just sitting in the sunset and chanting. After that the priest made a big puja in the Gajatri- Temple, where we chanted again. About 19.30 h I arrived at a Restaurant / Bar in the market, that was personally and highly recommended: Dream Tibetian Kitchen. But this guy (I think he is not gay 😜) is from Pushkar and the place is very chilly. Wonderful food - kitchen from a lot of countries, beer;(!) and smoking indoor allowed at the tables. A lot of interesting people (Indian and younger Tourists) who come EVERY evening here... 👍
You would definitely like it. After my dinner I cycled " home" to the Hostel - now a little tir😵ed..."Read more
