Finally in Goa!

In Aurangabad we both got sick, so our trip to the Goan coast took us a bit longer...39,9 degrees of body temperature at 46 degrees outside temperature are NOT FUN!!!!
But now we can relax a bit and enjoy the nice sea breeze!
We will definitely stay here for a week or so!

The new pics of the Everest Base Camp Trek are online!!!!

It took us a while, but we finally managed to upload the pics of or trek to EBC!
Have fun clicking through!

sweating in India...

Our first stop in India was in Varanasi, where we got the full load of hindu-worship. After that we moved (in a back and nerve breaking train trip that took 34 instead of 20 hours) over 1000km south to the ancient buddhist caves of Ajanta. Marita lay low because of the heat, so Kevin explored the nearby buddhist and hindu caves of Ellora on his own....Now he is lying low...46 Degrees is simply too much!!!!
Tomorrow we will make our way to Goa - Beach, sun and especially slightly COOLER temperatures...

On the way to India...

After successfully returning from the Everest Base Camp Trek to Kathmandu we applied for the Indian Visa right away...It proofed to be more time consuming than we thought....After almost 2 weeks of waiting in Kathmandu we finally got our visa yesterday - only 3 month instead of the expected 6...but well...we will have to be quick then....
Tomorrow we are heading for the border. So the next news (and the new pics from the Everest Trek) will already be from the chaotic subcontinent...
