Day 23 - Pushkar

Somewhere different again! Today we are in Pushkar after a jeep ride, two local buses, and a walk. We are staying in the Purple Garden hostel - frequented by chilled out staff who have drunk too many Bhang Lassis (bhang is a derivative of marijuana - they make them into deadly Lassi's, omelettes, everything. You see a "special" on the menu that is about 10 times the price of the other items, you know it's got bhang in it)

Pushkar is great for shopping - it also is a very holy town because it is the home of the only Brahma temple in the world. It has a beautiful lake, where we sat eating our dinner (pizza) and watched the sun go down to the music from the street entertainers.

Tomorrow morning some people are getting up at 5 to hike the hill behind the city, and watch the sun rise from the temple on the top. Not sure if I can wake that early - but will try!
