So we're in Rishikesh now - the holy town for the Hindus in India. There are many Ashrams, temples and statues to the various Gods. We watched a religion ceremony aim at the God of the Ganga, Shiva.
Rishikesh is divided by the Ganga, where you can cross either by boat, or by steel cable bridge... photos to come.
The main side is populated by cars & auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuks). The south-east side is for motorbikes and pedestrians only (and cows). Really nice side to be on - full of food, flavours, smells, colours, ashrams, statues, and culture.
Kristen is down with a viral infection in her throat. We went to the doctor this morning, and she got a short bust of anti-biotics and a few anti-inflamatories for the headache and pain. She'll be back on her feet in 2 days, and she'll add something to this blog too :) I'm looking after her as best I can - she seems to be smiling!
So i'm off for some walking around, yoga and generally good food :) Yum!
Boy, you guys are taking turns being sick, you should be immune to everything within another week or so. Thanks for the pics.
