I'm in the spiritual capital of the world- Rishikesh. It's very sacred to Hindus, quite sacred to Buddhists, and I'm sure it's sacred to some others as well. In the evening we watched some Hindus perform a ceremony over a stand of candles, before floating them out into the river. The place is full of shrines and people bathing in the river (I might just go paddling in it tomorrow).
Tonight we ate in this bamboo restaurant where we sat on the floor, while the Ganga flowed past us. We have vague plans to go rafting along the river tomorow. The trouble is, its a murky turquiose colour. Which is worrying.
Despite all the holy significance its still a really nice little town.
