3 days in Delhi is enough, everybody says so and I totally agree. So by the third day we booked a night bus to Rishikesh. The bus ride was very funny, stopping at strange places and picking up people until it was full, of course we got to Rishikesh later than previewed, but this is India! On the bus we met Amid, an Israeli guy who speaks very good Spanish and we all have a good laugh about the bus and the way the driver drove it.
Rishikesh is in the mountains by the Ganges river. The setting and the nature is spectacular but I am a bit let down by the dirtyness everywhere, in the streets, in the mountain trekks, it's amazing. Sometimes you get to a waterfall in the middle of a pretty mountain and by your side there will be plastic bottles, old clothes, all kind of rubbish, it is a bit sad. Also, there are many tourists, specially Israeli, and so this is also called the Houmus Route...
There are many yoga schools and ashrams, but we are staying in a hotel by the LaxmanJhula (second bridge). We have a room with two beds and bathroom and a massive terrace overlooking the valley and we pay 150 Rupies per night (less than 3 euros, so 1.50 euros each, pretty good eh!). Food around here is very nice and very cheap aswell, I think I am going to put on weight in India, I like everything!!
I don't know how long I will be here, but hopefully I will be able to log in again and download some pictures.
Estoy muy bien, y de momento no he tenido ningun problema, al contrario. He estado tres dias en Delhi y ahora estoy en el Norte en Rishikesh, cerca del nacimiento del Ganges, es tan bonito! Esta tarde he ido a pasear con unos amigos y nos hemos encontrado en un parque nacional y caminando caminando hemos llegado a un pequeno salto de agua, unas mini-cataratas y nos hemos banado alli, como en una pelicula. Por el camino habia arboles altisimos y flores y muchas telaranas y... monos! En Delhi me encontre con bastantes catalanes pero aqui en Rishikesh solo hay israelitas, incluso en este ordenador estan las letras escritas en hebreo y en muchos restaurantes preparan cocina hebrea, es curioso...
Bueno, espero que esteis bien. Si me conecto otro dia a ver si bajo alguna foto de aqui, ya vereis que bonito es.
Hasta pronto, besos!
