Dear friends and family thank you so much for all the warm comments...
It took us 17 hours instead of 10 in a overnight train, hundreds of people packed 2 or 3 on one sit. Finally we got to Varanasi...incredibly amazing city on the Ganages river with thousands of people washing themselves in it, praying, doing yoga, improving their karmas by donating money to the poorest or burning their dead families...ye that was quite shocking...
...it is definitely getting hotter...I bet it is close to 50 right now and I need to have my shoulders cover most of the time. Foreign woman is quite an exotic creature and everybody wants to take pictures with me :) which I found super cute :) and woman always are touching my hair (I guess they figured that is not my real colour)
Today I walked 2 km among all the ghats watching locals and they spiritual rituals. Where ever I turned I saw Hindu gurus (I just call them like that) they all looks like Gods. It is the end of tourist season, so it is nice and relaxing...(if you can only relax here, trust me life runs 400 mile per hour here)
Tomorrow at 5:30 I planning to take a boat among the river and watch peoples lives at the start of the day.
Besides that we fulfill our trip by upset stomachs...yes the bug finally got us. Nik is all day in the room with his best friend washroom and I am still holding somehow on peptobismo with some washroom breaks...hopefully tomorrow will be better :)
Thank you for following our adventures...miss you all

Czesc Beata,
Swietna metoda kommunikacji taki blog. Rozmawialem przed chwila z Toja Mama. Bardzo sie przejmuje Twoja i swoja podroza. Dawno temu bylem w Vanares (Vanaresi). Dosc to rzeka Ganges wygladala ponuro ze spalaniem zmarlych. Krowa mi nie chcala ustapic w wazkiej uliczce - musialm jej dac kuksanca (jak nikt nie widzial) aby nabrala szacunku.
Wspolczyje problemow zoladkowych. Niestety jestesmy zywiolem mimo ze 80% naszej masy pochodzi z gwiazd. Sciskam. Adam
