For the last two weeks my friend Caroline from Sweden has been here!
It has been so much fun and I was sad to see her leave!
She came on the Monday and I showed her Delhi that week, we even celebrated Holi were you throw colour on eachother!
On the Saturday me, Stephen and Caroline went to see Varanasi.
It was really strange but in a nice way, the people who lives there do the same thing every day, they go to the river and pray, swim, wash and even burn their dead loved ones and spreading their aches in the river.
We lit candles and let them float away on the water, listened to the chanting from the priests and saw big fired where the dead people got cremated.
Me and Carro also did the morning tour on the boat to see the morning ritual, they washed them self, went for a swim, did yoga, spread the aches over the river and prayed to the sun.
It was a very dirty place but I am glad to have seen it as it is very special to these people.
We came back to Delhi on the Sunday and me and Carro went to Jaipur on the Tuesday. We flew there and did all the touristy things you are suppose to do,but it was great! I haven't seen Carro for two years and it was just fun to catch up and show her my new country!
We then took the train on Thursday morning very early to Agra and went to see the Taj Mahal and the Red fort. On the Friday we went up to the abandoned city of Fatepur Sikri, we choose the right /wrong day to do this depending on how you see it as there were a pilgrimage from Agra going the same direction as us. So there where a lot of people on the streets walking, singing and dancing, so it took us a little longer but it was fun to watch them.
We spent the afternoon by the pool and then we took the train back to Delhi in the evening.
Stephen left last night to go t Korea for two weeks and Caroline left me this morning!
So I am all by myself!
Here are some great pictures!
