Incredible India!

Tine and I are really followed by luck. We just recently found out that the Dalai Lama is coming to Dharamsala the same time as we are there. I will definitely do everything in my power to shake that mans hand! Fuck, I’m excited about it! Also Tine read, that it is very common for foreigners to get a small role in a Bollywood movie when you go to the studio based in Mumbai. Hell yeah! They are gonna drag me out of there for sure! Last, but certainly not the least, the yearly camel fair in Pushkar is going on exactly when we are there. Apparently 50.000 camels are expected in the town along with snake charmers and men walking on glowing coal. Fuck, I’m so excited about all of the above. India really lives up to the travelling slogan; Incredible India!

Together me and Tine have been doing a tiger safari, but even though we did our very best to spot them, and try to be as quiet as possible (it is very hard when you are really set on eating several Marie biscuits in the meantime), we
didn’t see any. I totally blame the baby for the noise, certainly not me and Tines constant giggling throughout the whole tour.

We are now in Udaipir, the city where Mahatma Ghandis ashes have been spread. We’ve met a lot of other travellers with whom we are spending
our days and evenings. A gruop of us motorbiked around the area yesterday. Me and Tine on the same bike; me in front and Tine as my back bitch. It was awesome getting to the countryside of India. We ended up bathing in a lake, hoping it was the right one out of two without any crocodiles. Didn’t see any though. But I did ask Tine to get in as well to spread the risk of being the one eaten.
