sab kuch milega (anything is possible...in india) - originally sent july 7
hey guys!
after spending almost 2 FUN weeks in Dharamsala (Bhagsu)
i got on the bus to Shimla - we took a night local bus that left at 9:30pm and got there at 5am. the ride was weird. but thats a story to tell when im back home.
as soon as we got off the bus 2 old porters started to bug us. we hiked up from the bus station 4 KM with our heavy bags.. and with us the bugging porters that try to convince us to let them carry our bags for 20 rupees each. 2.5 hours later we still look for a guest house, and the old annoying guys are still there with us. we finally got a room. we decided not to go to sleep and just hang out and see the city. Shimla is a very expensive city that only indian honeymooners go to and only indian tourists. it was so expensive and nothing to do really.. we hated it.
so we decided to leave asap! we got a bus ticket to Haridwar for the next day at 5am. after hanging out all day we went to sleep and woke up at 3am. we walked down all the way but this time we hired porters to carry our bags (if it was up to me i would carry my own bag!)
we left Shimla at 5:30am we arrived in Haridwar at 4pm and took another short ride to Rishikesh (the capital of yoga, meditation.. and other stuff!)
both cities sit on the Ganges river. 2 days ago we walked to the Ganges with 2 other israeli girls and 3 spanish boys.. we got in the water (that is very brown for some odd reason) and then 2 guards told us that we cant because its too dangerous.. so we continued to walk and got to the waterfall. it was a great day! then of course we walked all the way back to our guesthouse. i think in total we walked 8km. yesterday we didnt do much we were too lazy.
today we walked to another waterfall. the hike up was hard (2km), but worth it. it is SO humid here.. not that hot but very very humid! even after taking a shower we sweat so much. but i really like it here..
the internet connection here is very bad, everywhere i go they cant burn my pictures on a cd and its way too slow to upload pictures.
i know you're all waiting for pictures... but please have some patients... i will do it soon.
love you and miss you
