Pushkar 26.12.08. Cleaning socks 15 rupees. Towel 50 rupees. T-shirt 40 rupees. I found myself washing my own laundry in our hotel room. Too expensive to use the hotel laundry service? No, but I needed to do something with my own hands (anyone tip me 50 rupees?), which I found almost meditative these days.
We've arrived to Push car to have a few days break of all the hectic life of the big cities and it's been a success!
After the latest experiences we really appreciate the peace, silence and beautiful views of desert-edged scenary.
Today we saw one of the few Brahma temples in the world and it was crowded but a true beauty.. except the thousands of bees zzzzzzzzzring around the lotus flowers all over the floors. Another special feature of Pushkar is the gath where Gandhi's ashes were sprinkled in the lake.
My favourite things besides the temple were a restaurant called Mango and Savitri temple in the top of the hill. Restaurant Mango was cozy and homelike (Javi and Katri thought it was pretty neohippy) place where we sitted on the floor with bare feets and wrapped in thick blankets and drinking the best Chai Masala tea so far.
At the sunset we headed to the Savipri temple. The sporty Javi climbed all the way to the top but my knee didn't behave properly so we decided to stay in the middle way where we met four friendly monkeys. While we were watching the sunset with the monkeys, Javi met some locals on the top of the hill and took some nice pictures.
So these two peaceful days were exactly what we needed. Now we are going to change our batteries, have a hot shower, sleep tight and long, wear clean and fresh clothes and get ready for the 9 hours driving to Jaisalmer.
P.S. No alcohol, kissing, embracing, meat or eggs allowed in Pushkar :-O
