Sunday, 21 March 2010 - Pushkar Day 2, trip to temples and camel sudden hike
started out comfortably sleep up to 10 clock I beautiful fresh through the day. My things up on the balcony was already dry, so I could pack away this again. Then I went to Thali restaurant, where I comfortably took a thali for breakfast. Then I looked at my Pushkar and the bazaar intense. As my other postcards were gone with the diary, I decided to look here in Pushkar for new postcards. I regretted the loss of cards a lot, because a very nice postcard for my sister was there. I found exactly two shops selling postcards and bought a few new cards, for which at least one hour before it. Luckily I had enough time, because too much is not there to see it in Pushkar. It was more a place for rest and relaxation for me, what did according to the exertions of last week really good. found after long search I am back in the second shop, even the beautiful postcard of Ladakh, which I was delighted. Afterwards, I strolled through the town and met two German girls back from last night, who ate in a cafe something. After a short conversation with them I went to the temple located just outside on a mountain.
The way there was in the midday heat exhausting and so I shared the short before leaving a water freshly stocked for the journey. On the way up, I made next to the photos of the area also for the native plants that fascinated me.
The Way up I met a middle-aged couple where the woman had severe problems with the rise and in the shadow of a curtain rested. I offered her my water, which they gratefully accepted. Top of the temple I wanted to fill it, but around the whole wasp on the water drum and the monkeys, I did not dare to the tap. After a very short time and a short break I had explored the mountain hills and enjoyed the environment sufficiently.
Back at the temple, it was still closed in the shade a lot better. So I came there with a few people into the conversation, including Cheeku with an agent as I learned later. The temple opened short time later, although we normally it would still have to wait 1-2 hours. In the temple, it was through the roof of the big shadow donated cooler than outside and had a beautiful view of Pushkar and the dry lake.
I talked further with Cheeku about my experiences in India and what else I wanted to see and do in India or.
So we came to be thought of my camel ride, but are offered everywhere in Pushkar, but still for my remaining budget to expensive. He offered me a guided tour with camel night from evening to next morning for Rs 400. I could I do so I accepted the offer after he had clarified the tour with the camel drivers to. I then went back swiftly as possible to the hostel.
On the way down again met the couple who thanked once again for the donated water. The man had gone up to the temple, while his wife had been waiting in the shadows. He had brought from the shop at the new temple water for them. Before Pushkar played some children who found me interesting and seemingly sudden herliefen next to me and me and my bag, in which the new passport and other notes were in it, get things done. So I was loud, so they won away from me. I was not sure what these children of me and my stuff and wanted something I did not want to lose again. In Pushkar I filled up again in the same place my water bottle and in the hostel, I packed my things and tried to check out. Unfortunately, both the landlord and his son / nephew this morning not there. His mother told me that the current night I also still need to pay because I had not checked out before 10 clock in the morning. I was shocked, because after I did not stay the night in the hostel, but will make the camel ride. So I did not want to pay additional Rs 125 for a hostel room, which did not or could I use. After prolonged negotiations adopted to blame me for the hostel room and I paid Rs 150 to have settled the issue makes sense.
Then I moved with my backpack around, I went again in the delicious Thali restaurant for dinner and went from there to the Internet Cafe. There I checked my e-mails and told me briefly with my parents because it was important to me that they knew how I feel and everything is fine. Then I waited outside my Hostel in Cheeku, who arrived shortly thereafter and agreed with me to the point of the camel drivers took on his moped. Dharmu already waiting there with his camel on us. My big backpack, we could have hung on the camel, but somehow I felt uncomfortable with the matter, the heavy backpack all the time on the strap suspended from the camel to be seen. Thus Cheeku took my backpack in his office, I can pick me there when I return tomorrow from my camel tour coming. Then the camel went
Tour finally happening and I was absolutely excited like a little child. With the camel we rode the first main road / bypass road on which buses and trucks and drove all the major bus station is located. Then the road makes a bend and we rode over a large area that looked like a stadium. Dharmu explained that takes place on this course in late autumn, the largest camel fair in the local environment. This should I definitely try . Look at Then we rode into the desert past the mountain of the temple, where I was just a few hours before. In front of us rode two more camels on it with two young people and Dharmu let the camel trot to catch up.
Dharmu knew through the many guided tours Camel quite well with foreigners and had already been detected from a distance, that it was the two people on the camels to South Koreans. Then the three rode camels together up to a slightly larger plane on which were small sand dunes and we lodged a slightly longer break.
In our break came a few children from the local area and we were playing something on a homemade string instrument before and would then have some money. I had this time, however, nothing left. Then we continued our tour separately away from the South Koreans and met two other camels, on which sat two German girls. With whom I chatted up a minute, because a larger conversation, she seemed to have no desire. Therefore, I was talking much rather Dharmu about culture, language, family and other things, because that was at such a talkative camel drivers much more fun.
The German girls were riding for the night to the neighbor and I stayed the night with Dharmu and his family, consisting of his two older brothers married and Rahgu Balu and their wives, the mother of the three brothers, a daughter and a baby. In the house I got something to drink first and I could look at the sunset from the roof.
Then I could decide whether the night I would rather spend on the roof or down on the terrace. I opted for the balcony, because I slept with the family and I am finally much better in society. The beds were made of simple wooden frame covered, one of which Dharmu and one I used. On the bed lay a blanket as a bed base and for covering. I found the blankets a little too thick for the night, but during the day because it is really hot, but should find out later the reason for the thick blankets. After sunset watching me and talked a lot with Dharmu Rahgu (the oldest of the three), with slightly worse Rahgu spoke English as Dharmu. After a while Balu came with the scooter on it and Annie back home. Balu said Dharmu as very good English. Annie is a very friendly 70-year old Australian who knows the family for a long time and in Pushkar as "Mom" (mom) is known. She is very nice and a little amused with me. She told me about her future plans, then it times and times in India lives in Bali, both here in India and in Bali everything is much cheaper than in Australia and as a profession / hobby weddings designed schemes should be planned from her prepared and implemented.
She stayed for dinner, which was made by the mother of three sons and two women. Over dinner, Annie and I just ate, the family ate later. Annie was then moved back to the hotel in Pushkar, and I had a new plan for the next two days. The family I was talking far into the evening and in comparison to the day it was much cooler in the evening. When the family ate, I ate even one more time with and I must say that it was really very tasty. Then the others chatted on, as Dharmu and I went to bed. I had decided to go to tomorrow not back to Pushkar, but a little longer to stay in such nice family and enjoy your time. With that happy feeling of home I fell asleep.
