Take me to the river

The Ganges




I took this a few years back. Donna liked the picture of a sunrise from the river Ganges or "Mother Ganga" at Varanasi.

In fact she liked it so much, she said, "Take me to the River"  

Perhaps it was a catalyst, a spark in the dark, something to get the juices flowing.
We should be there in a few months but we've got a lot of trains to catch first. 

I love this video but don't take the words too literally as there were only twelve candles : ) 
So enjoy and chill and unlike the song, we won't actually be bathing in it! 

There's  been a great documentary on BBC1 9pm Thursdays, presented by Sue Perkins and she's brilliant. Maybe catch it on iPlayer. 
I suspect she will end up doing a whole raft of dox around the great rivers of the world!

Hampi in Karnataka

Image
Just realised that when we were travelling, we hadn't the time to post the pix from Hampi. It's a Unesco world heritage site... Hampi dawns and sunsets can be spectacular, this is what we got! After jumping in a tuktuk at 4am, our driver dropped us off and said he would be back in couple of hours. We found ourselves at the foot of a mountain, with dogs barking and monkeys whooping. Whilst we started climbing in total darkness, we didn't know what we were going to bump into. I picked up all the stones we came across and probably wieghed a few more kilo's by the time we reached the summit. We declared to each other, once the ordeal was over, that yes, we had both been anxious. This shot was taken in virtual darkness with just a hint of light. But the long exposure makes it look brighter. A couple of minutes before the two of us, were wondering around trying to figure out which way was east.  We were so high up, we had an uninhibited view of dawn, so much s

Yala just kept giving and will always be with us......

Image
Whilst we we're driving out of Yala, I knew how much Donna was hoping to see elephants and leopards. Then as if by magic this lone male just appeared, he came out of the bush on our left and crossed the road. Whilst he was enjoying his breakfast of long grass, small branches, twigs and leaves, he hung out with us for half an hour.  To see a wild elephant is a very special time and it was the most rewarding moment for me, when I saw my lady's face and tears. Words cannot convey, so here's a couple of pix! I know I've said it so many times but Sri Lanka is truly beautiful and we would both be content to spend months exploring the island and it's secrets. However from the little bit that we did see, without any hesitation, Yala is the stand out  place. It wasn't just the animals....... the place is incredibly beautiful with diverse landscapes and amazing vistas. Being a pristine, uninhabited national park with

Merry Christmas from Agonda xx

Image
 Well hello and Merry Christmas form Agonda, Goa xx So it's Sunday morning and Christmas Eve, we got here about a week ago and have settled into a routine, we're making the most of our chill out in the tropics.   We chose Agonda as it is the lesser trodden path, the beach is bigger, less populated and feels more open. We chose Velvet Sunset because it's located at the north end and meets with our requirements of space.  W hen the tide is in, we are only fifty meters from our bed to the breaking waves. But it can be tricky after eleven as the sand is too hot to walk on!   It's actually very quiet as there has been a steep decline in the expected number of tourists, of course this suits us but it's not good for tourism! However most of the seventeen beach huts here are occupied. There's a good reason for that as it's very shanti (relaxed) as they say down here. We are generally on the beach by 7:30 and have taken to an early morning run
