Pushkar

After 10 hours in a sleeper coach, I was dropped off together with Russian girl, a girl from Peru and two guys from Latin America in the early morning in Pushkar. As I found out later, the later three were all AIESEC trainees on the way to Jaipur for sightseeing - what a coincidence.

We tried to avoid the hotel-vallas and went on our own search for rooms. The first guest house had only space on the roof top, so we went on knocking on doors. Fifteen minutes later we found Shiva's guesthouse where we got some rooms. I shared a room with the girl from Peru and each of us paid 60 Rs (little less than 1 Euro).

We slept until noon, then we went to eat something and bought the tickets for the bus to Jaipur. Business done, we went to the holy lake of Pushkar and surrounded it and visited a temple on the way.

In the late afternoon, we picked up our luggage and walked to the bus stop. There we waited for our bus - it was the emptiest bus I ever used in India. Somehow this felt not very convincing, but after half an hour some Indians boarded the bus and we finally left via Ajmer to Jaipur.

(Unfortunately, there are no pictures from Pushkar, as my mobile was stolen later:-( )
