    Bot Sir, bot?

    December 19, 2019 in India ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Second day in Varanasi we took it easy... long sleep, breakfast then headed up the river to another gath. It's interesting watching life near the river - kids flying kites, dogs running around, people washing clothes,...
    We got to another burning gath, this one is for poor which means less ceremonial. Me And Mateja watched for quite some time. They put person in water and bring him out, put wood aroun/under him and then light fire. I've never seen a dead person before 🙁 You do see much here, also beggars and people in conditions... just sad. We are lucky we are healthy and living a life we do. I think.
    After an hour or so we went for some good and awesome apple pie, yum!
    Ended up going to hostel with boat to see the city from river. Really quite a sight. We watcher Aarti again, some food and went to bed. Easy day.
