varanasi-delhi-haridwar-riskikesh

Thursday evening we got on the train to Delhi that turned out to be 4 hours delayed, we couldn't get on next train to Haridwar as it was full, the bus would take hours and it was already starting to get dark at this point so we went for the option taxi. After spending 2 hours getting out of Delhi and another 5 hours later we arrived Haridwar 2 in the morning at this shitty noisy expensive hotel which we spent one night as deciding the next day Riskesh would be more worthwhile and more shanti. What we didnt think of was how hard it would to find a guesthouse as it is kumba mela (worlds biggest religious gathering) and there is loads of people everywhere (including lots of funny looking baba's) and everything was fully booked so after hours of walking and spending the last two nights swapping hotels we finally settled down in a nice guest house in the outskirts of Risikesh in a place called Laks Majula. All of us have to share a room tonight, but its big with a balcony, roof top and great view over the river and besides its always fun to be all together now (like Stav would say it). So far I like Risikesh, it has more nature consisting by nature and waterfalls, but I have to admit my body is getting very tired and starting to notice 3 months of traveling so its very nice that we don't have to move until thursday again. However my new mantra is to be more positive and open to life and others so I only see the positiveness in my pain, it has been some of the best months in my life!
