Late but at last - back in the mountains!!!

Oups! We just realized that our latest news are not so up to date....even our main blog has more recent posts...
Well anyways....Here everything that happened in the last weeks in short:
From Hampi we went to the ashram of Sai Baba (a weird experience) and then on to the indian east coast. There we relaxed a few days in Puducherry and Mammalapuram and went then straight up to the Taj Mahal (2000km by train).
Because we still haven't had enough of the Indian summer heat we went to the desert state of Rajastan where we visited the fort of Jodhpur and enjoyed the desert outpost feeling in Jaisalmer. After being trapped in the desert for almost a week due to floods (yes, we know that sounds weird...) we went on to Amritsar to visit the Golden Temple of the Sikhs.
Since yesterday we are in Dharamsala/Mc Leod Ganj where the Tibetian Government in Exile and the Dalai Lama reside. Here we enjoy the cooler climate and the existence of landscape and the colour green.
As we have quite enough of Indian chaos, dirt and crowds we will relax here for the next days/weeks....maybe we also do some trekking but we don't know for sure yet. We'll play it by ear!
