Dresden October Figurine

Members of the community Gesmo - Day 13

That day we had to get up much earlier. The bus traveled about in the early morning hours. 5.00. This time was not only difficult for us but also for operating the hotel. When we went down to reception turned out that there's nobody there and no one who open doors for us. For a moment I screamed, but no one responded to provocation. Kamila vigorously checked the main output. Turns out it was open. Without waiting any longer we went in the direction of the bus. Still did not give us peace of thought, and not rozliczylismy August with the hotel staff. We got on the bus. Most of the people was already in place. Turns out, however, that we leave half an hour later, so we decided to go back to the hotel with the hope that this time I saw someone with a guide. Whew ... Luckily I found someone. Already we had a dark vision, and you will be detained at the airport on departure and placed in custody. Meanwhile, the hotel staff was surprised at our appearance as we would not at all where they lived. We regulated account and came back to the bus. We took our seats on the bus deluxe:]
Horse of the day looked pretty much the same as the day before, well, maybe with the exception that the top in the region were still higher. The best way to survive was relentless nap. About 16 hours in the afternoon we arrived in town Leh - the capital of Ladakh, the most mountainous area of \u200b\u200bwhole India, where there met with the Himalayas and the Indus Zanskarem rolls its waters. A place where the winter months, sitting in one place can be acquired burns sunny parts of the body exposed to the sun and freeze body parts left in the shade. On the spot we felt a clear difference in relation to cities, which we visited so far. It was not noisy like most Indian cities. It was a peaceful oasis among the mountains, hungry for the souls of the rest. In this part of the Ladakh region of vast majority of residents have Asian features, which was caused by the influx of refugees from Tibet. Vendors were much less insistent, though also seek opportunities to sell their products.
First of all we went in search of the hotel. Following the instructions of our guide, we went to the hotel, inter alia, Padma, who eventually turned out to be najsensowniejszy in the area. Dreamed of just one, in order to eat something normal. Something normal, that is something other than an omelet with toast, or rice with vegetables that during the days spent at home on the water constituted our monotonous, unchanging set of auxiliary. Camilla would be in the state to kill "if only someone gave her rice with vegetables. Exiting from the hotel manager suggested we support the guide. However, the word would get goose bumps Guide. It was the second week of our honeymoon in the meantime almost never go out without the company of other people. Definitely statement protesting the explorations of the city and we went alone.
Duped by our guide, we got directions to the restaurant Gesmo. Of course, the understanding of Indian restaurants. That is to say in Poland, I put a bar counter in the area :-) The joy on their faces started to read the configuration menu to cater to the one of great hope wypatrywalismy. There it is! We serve pizza. Finally something continental friend. And it's still pizza! We have done more to tomato soup, toasted cheese and garlic and we were in seventh heaven. Full of happiness to fulfill beer purchased in a nearby, another restaurant.

What To Write On A Card On Birth Of A Baby



Lehu We set out to - the twelfth day
day started horribly: D We had to get up at 5 30 (Polish time with ... 2 00). From early morning we had a small circuit with the owner of the boat. Apparently nothing, because under our nieobecnasc (trekking) perished Mariusz shoes, which already zgosilismy the previous day. Son of the owner casually claimed that we it could u \\ u pick him in Delhi for two weeks, before returning to the Polish. It seemed to him not to reach it from then on we pass a little, because we will buy new brass. The only thing that Marie had to change it for the ankle boots, winter - just in time for climbing, but little practical for 40 gradual heat. But surely what we mean - he asked with surprise the owner?? Fortunately, a small disturbance at 6 am in the house + owner here is a fear that other residents can hear it resulted in something. Shoes like grown out of the ground and find themselves:) And one theory as to their owner's absence she said, with someone walking down the city and with them founded in August will find a (!) But this is only the beginning of the attractions of the 12th Immediately after the "sandal scandal" turned out with our "beloved" manager: D forgot (?), with had to pay for our trip to Lehu - Agreement with the earlier negotiations. As it turned out not only that but I forgot and a reservation for us on the bus ... bietow After arriving at the bus station turned out that there is no place for us on the bus. The driver suggested to us that we can take advantage of the places in the "first class" - that sit next to him at the front of the other 7 - 9 persons. Well he has not offered us seats on the roof, and so I saw people riding. Without going into details, "coach affair" (unless we have more scandals within 2 h than a month in Poland - no good, no;) lasted near an hour. Passengers were coming, and indeed a place for us was not. Not wanting to leave them longer in Srinagar had to agree to the trip in the cab. Now is the moment when, "at the same time loves and hates this place." At the front sat no longer than 15/20 minutes. In the moments after when the bus went, were the two people who swapped places with us. We sat at the very end whether the bus hmmmm We exchanged an ax on the stick ... rides a bus in India is absolutely no resemblance to what we know of the Polish realities. We drove by bus deluxe. We are curious to see what comes to mind when you read "deluxe". Probably what came to mind - wypasisty modern, air-conditioned bus with TV and other bajerami. Well, no. Truly speaking the worst Polish bus, what I saw during the last few years he was a great improvement from the local high standard deluxe. However, given the warunkich in which the buses run and the way drivers license - no dziwic.Zajelismy August so comfortable (?) Of a bus driving down the next ... really began to drive full of unforgettable impressions. As soon as we left the city landscape was becoming increasingly more mountainous, while the bus began to climb the winding roads. The route, along which we are open only a few months during the year and is in constant renovation. Because the road runs completely through the mountains, so as you could guess it is difficult to keep it in good order (ie, Indian okay ;-). From time to time on the road occurred in August or fragments of rocks very slightly passable. Of course, there was no mention of any safety rails, and in spite of roadway is located on the edge of the slopes of mountains, and on average every several hundred meters is a very sharp turn (angle> 90 degrees). In addition, the same width of the road is controversial, because as the European conditions would be suitable for at best a one-way traffic. Meanwhile, here, and despite the small fragment was a one-way, the movement was taking place in both directions. Amazing gymnastics car accompanied the situations when two buses met, be a bus and truck. Typically, one of the vehicles was becoming, while the second balancing on the edge of an abyss, tried to bypass the first. Although there have before the overtaking, the driver usually disperse both drove carelessly disregarding to do with the speed, which far exceeded all safety standards for this type of road. Often it appeared that only the driver's corner is noted on each other, with a huge shriek blew on it and restrained with all my strength, so that stood several feet apart. Later, they argued for several minutes, anyone who has to give way and only after that, set about overtaking maneuver. On Indian roads, there is the principle that "the bigger the vehicle, the more rights he alleges in the way", so the meeting two large vehicles often led to the huge konfliktow.Pedzac as the speed of these conditions, podskakiwalismy at moments (which was especially painful for Camilla's due The residue after driving off the hill yesterday), stomachs to break over the top feet, while the heart of every moment to come up the throat, we entered into another sharp turn and the driver did not even deign to pull back. In addition, the dust was getting the bus every gap preventing us from breathing. Number of impressions, which provided us ride, you can probably compare the increments for the breakneck ride bungee.Osloda were amazing views, which we could admire (though in these conditions it was not easy) through the window. Kamila excited raged with its changing camera photographing the scenery. Late afternoon we arrived in the village of Kargil, where he stayed for the night. Due to the route Mountford, buses do not travel at night. Here we also parted ways with George, an Englishman with whom I walked on the mountains, because he preferred the cheapest naocleg one possible, and we zwazwyszy the Indian standards, we preferred to pay a bit more. We at least we had a bed, even two, George had to settle for "wake to sleep." Immediately after finding accommodation we left the city. We have a gift for attracting positive people to yourself. On our way appeared on the local Hindus. At first we thought that wants to sell us something, and already kombinowalismy how to get rid of it when the word to word it turned out the works in Delhi and Holiday came to the family home. Our interest just out of pure courtesy in relation to foreigners. Showed me around us in all corners of Kargil, telling his stories and life of local residents. We spent together a whole evening, and finally escorted us to the hotel, where before the farewell exchanged addresses and promised myself to stay in touch. It is amazing in this country that people can approach you on the street, in order to welcome you in India, to ask how do you like, to offer assistance. Oh cool here.
In Kargil also met Australian (mother and daughter), which met in bus driving by to Srinagar. It turned out that also eat the Lehu. What a small world ...

We ate them quickly and we left the path. In mid-march to the lake close we were turned back. Nevertheless, did not give up and hard marching on to concentrate their attention on the snowy mountains. Lake to which technology we arrived it was almost completely frozen, while the temperature was close to zero. Let us add to, packing to leave we assumed the temperature around 30 degrees. Returning back zafundowalismy the slides on the snow. Kamila until today is covered with pupe: D awfully tired we got to camp for dinner and just a few moments after we had to move way back. Although the descent seems to be a lot easier, the road seemed to have no end. We started to fall into a kind of trance monotonous, continuous descent. Completely exhausted, we arrived to the place from which we left at the very beginning. Guide decided to pay us a 5-day trekking in 3 days. Thanks to this we were able to see a really beautiful place. Gory did not seem different from the Polish, maybe were a bit higher. The main difference was that we met people who live in the wild in the mountains. Was a general view of grazing horses, huge flocks of sheep and Roma tent. Beautifully. We fully appreciate the value of intangible assets of our life, wonderful family, friends and loved ones. We mentioned our recent meeting with the closest at the wedding and wedding .... jeeeah. After returning home on the water we had little time to pack in August, quick call to the parents, because at 6 am the next day wyruszalismy in 2-day trip to Lehu ...

How To Make Your Party Shiny



lucky people we met - on the 10th
Wake up 7 AM. Warm breakfast 'to bed ;-) but on a blanket in a stream. Around 8 am the whole team went to the mountains. We watched with interest of our entire team - objuczonym horses around our luggage, happy Gypsies, who seemed to not sweat climbing, which could not be said about us. Already in the middle of the road going to the first up, WERE the characters lack stamina :-) Dopingowalismy one another with George, with difficulty going uphill. Climbing on a destination - our new camp - lasted until the 14th Completely exhausted we reached the place, dreaming of a moment of rest. On the spot waiting for us a hot lunch (horses and a guide reached the place much earlier:)). It turned out that our joy of reaching the place not last long, because we learned that half an hour after lunch we continue our journey - away to the lake about 2 hours of hiking. Lake was situated at an altitude of about 4000 meters above sea level do not know why the trip took us three hours. However, the views of the lake at the foot of huge mountains, the nearby hills and distant peaks breathtaking. Despite the fatigue, which was accompanied us still, views, hot compensated everything. Coming back we had the opportunity to ride a horse, whom we took together. In principle we should write about ponies and horses are not:) Mariusz zajezdzil horse, pony poor, so that after half an hour he heard a horse "Horse is finished": D came back to camp at dusk, straight to the dinner. It was amazing evening. We sat together with the Gypsies in their, let's say, a house / stable. We sat together at the fire and looked narrowly at how to prepare a guide for us to dinner. Blogs we felt gave us the peace and August carefree life characteristic of the gypsy life. We found that we truly lucky people who are not chasing after news of the world, and who are able to enjoy the moments spent together and the nature that surrounds them. Fully peace we went to sleep, knowing that the next day waiting for us wandering over the second of the nearby lakes and return home.

Trekking - Day 9
our trekking adventure we survived with the cooperation of a friendly Englishman, George Morris, whom we met near the harbor, from which Hockey odplywaly Shikara. Not without a little scandal in the morning. The Englishman was convinced, and we're going on five days, because the manager told him so:) Another little lie owner. George immediately reversed its decision and decided to go with us, only for 3 days. Journey to the village, from which he had launched trekking lasted approximately 2 hours drive by jeep. This was sufficient time to meet in August with our new travel companion. We learned from him, and Srinagar is not very safe city, and from time to time there are bombings and clashes between local extremists. Fortunately, I did not know this, because we could spend a carefree day in the city. It was wonderful to leave behind the whole hubbub of the city, feel the wind in haired, listen to Indian music and see how getting closer to the mountains. Along the way we passed Gypsy Festival, which slightly delayed our arrival to the village. Nevertheless, gave the opportunity of mentioning of chocolate chips with the gypsy child. I've already managed to note the calm and carefree on the faces of the people. Wjezdzalismy farther in the mountains. Housing estates gave way to individual homes, inhabited by the gipsy people (Gypsies). Gypsies have nothing to do with the Gypsies, whom we know. In this manner whatsoever is called here the people who live in the mountains, sheep belt and everything needed to live, derive from nature. Upon arrival we were treated to the place of tea and a lunch brought from home on the water. A guide greeted us and we agreed from the day go just for a short warm up, because it is too late to go on climbing. We climbed on a nearby mountain, while the remainder of the crew (guide, four Gypsies and 5 horses) broke camp the following night. The horses broke camp of course not: D Already, this first attempt to reach us in the nice characters and great difficulty we got to the one provided by us going to a gypsy site. March across the mountains We felt a lot better than in Delhi and Srinagar. We returned to camp at dusk. Already waiting for us hot dinner, we ate sitting on blankets in a stream and looking at the surrounding mountains. It was wonderful. Fatigue quickly gave in August in the signs and went to sleep in a broken tent. The next day we waited early morning wake up call and intense rock climbing.

Shigeruxsatoshi Doujinshi



is super - the seventh day: D
At the end of the sixth and seventh day in the morning, negocjowalimy of managers in terms of our wyjadu ..... Himalayas: D We must admit that we were tough. Our advantage lies in the fact that we did not so much depended, in order to leave as manager. Each day of our stay with him one day without an employee, because Gulam was walking everywhere with us. Eventually we managed to go from $ 360 to $ 275 for two people.
we woke up that day very early because of ... 4 45:) We decided to go to a nearby market on the water. People sold its flowers, vegetables, spices. And most importantly everything was done on the boats. It was an amazing sight: D
After returning from the market near 7 o'clock and przespaniu 2 more hours, decided to devote the rest of the day watching the local mosques. It was amazing, especially with our local friend is a Muslim. Although the first mosque introduced us to a certain amount of uncertainty. Probably afraid to whether we will behave accordingly. Also with the big concern zageszczajacemu looked narrowly at the crowd around us. Surely we were in the old part of town - rarely visited by tourists. Fortunately, he explained Gulam local goal of our arrival and we could get inside. At the entrance to the mosque, as well as all the others, we had to remove shoes. Kamil had to be appropriately dressed - covered his arms and hands and head. In addition, Camilla could not get into all parts of the mosque, because some of them were only for men. We gave a quiet prayer.
most amazing part of the day was yet to come. Mosques were located near the family home Gulam, where we decided to lead us. We met his mother and cousin. Showed me around us in his house, who was modest, albeit crowded warmth. Together with his mother drank tea, ate cake. Experience was incredible taste salty tea with milk. There was wonderful to sit for a moment and feel the real taste of Indian life.
Later we visited two more mosques. The first one was founded 800 years ago by Turkish Muslim. Tourists and non-Muslim women were not there, however admission. We could only admire the mosque through his window. The second of the mosques was huge, in the shape of a square. His designs podpieralo 320 columns. Legend has it that one of them was built by a god, but do not know who. The last we saw
mosque at the local fort, located on a hill. The nearby area also belonged to the Old Town. Gulam asked us here do not hold on to the hand, because the local habit of such behavior is unacceptable.
started to rain, and slowly we had to evacuate. Along the way we were able to have a look to the Sikh temple. Falling rain did not give us peace, so we decided to go back on the boat.
On the site we learned that we leave the mountains until the day after tomorrow, so we decided that we do the next day off. Very
zzylismy with Ghulam. We feel that it starts with a parent bond between us and the mutual care of Sibi. He in his own way is trying to diversify our stay, advise when shopping or sightseeing. We on your way and seeks to uphold it. Yesterday we were on a shared dinner. We returned quite late on the boat and the way we had what we did together a combine that manager is not doing Gulamowi problems. Eh .... if you only manage to meet someone who does not want us to earn money, I feel such incredible warmth from the people.

How Do Save A Pokemon Game On A Mac



Shankaracharya Temple - the sixth day we woke up at dawn
about 11 am (Well in Poland is already 6.30: P). We ate breakfast 'complex with an omelette and toast and slightly sugary tea. Recently we wanted to get going in the direction of the temple, of course, accompanied golum when we cried to the office of the owner. As always with a suggestion can not refuse. We suggested a trip to the mountains for 5 days for only $ 272 / person: D Of course, this will confirm that this is not to reject the offer, with no one in the neighborhood is not able to beat. According to the guide we should pay about $ 40 per day. He counted a lot more. At the moment we are not interested in going for such money, but climbing the Himalayas sounds tempting. We'll see how things will develop - we can practice our negotiating skills. On present moment are going to look all around. Possibly earlier climb the mountain on our way to Leh in Ladakh. Meanwhile
about 14.00 we went toward the temple. We had to overcome the 5.5 km route, so we decided to go hiking. Route taking us through Crete and on the streamers to the very top, but we did not leave lighters. Already at the beginning of our soldiers re-wrote the data from the passports, then we could just go away. The road to the summit was very pleasant. We talked with golum about his family, a family home, habits. Even exchanged addresses and promised to send him to him our photos. Within a half hour we managed to reach the summit. There he surprised us further inspection. This time, more accurate, the search our backpacks and our pockets. For some unknown reason, we were told zaostawic two packages of medicines and CDs (I should add that the backpack was at least a dozen other packages). Perhaps it was taken so that we had to go back to what D
began the journey along the long stairs leading to the swiatymi. There were about 300th We passed many festively dressed Indians who here very friendly and greeted us. When we got to the temple, took place the next - the third control - us and our equipment, but the soldiers because they did not find anything suspicious, we could go further. The temple was located at where you kind of altar sat a Hindu. Everyone approached him. He drew to each dot on the forehead as a sign god, in one hand then poured water in the second gave a little rice. One had a water drink eat rice. Dare to eat a bit of toasted rice. Then we all came up to her dowry god Ganesha, asking him to stick. It is interesting that along the way to the temple and in the interior, there were the hanging bells, in which each incoming hit. This was supposed to symbolize prayer. After leaving the temple przysiadlismy to Hindu groups. Zagadywaly children amused us. On the way back
meditated what to do. And tomorrow we're going to see the nearby mosques and fort. When you get down to the city Kamile grabbed a crisis - a sudden tumult of fatigue, the stench of street noise. After the experience of that noise, you'll be tempted to find peace and quiet. Soon we will come back home for dinner, dreaming about the tomato sandwich: D, such as Martha and the wedding :-) Krzyska

Srinagar - the fifth day
got up very late, because about 13;) ate breakfast late and we went look around August at the center. What's important - the owner never lets go of us without a guide, he says he wants to ensure your safety. Although perhaps the idea is that we missed in the hands of the competition, which could intercept us. By the way golum, who we were, and leeched a commission for purchases made in stores to his friends. Initially annoyed us his company at every step, but with time we started to feel his good side. Really feel that of August cares about us, always haggle with rikszarzami and sellers, even though we punish. We liked his presence. He was our "guardian angel" on the streets of Srinagar. Thanks to its presence is not too often we are controlled by the military, which is here at every step. Over the past dozen years to 2004 between India and Pakistan enduring struggle for Kashmir. Since two years there has been peace here. Only remnant of the conflict is the presence of soldiers who had to leave the area last year, but as it golum said: "India is always late, so probably a little long before the army would leave the area. We spent the evening in an internet cafe so that we could write down our impressions from the previous few days. With tears in his eyes beheld pictures of the wedding - are beautiful:) POmijajc fact do not know why, Kamila was a bunch of green color. Well, we can not be responsible for the quality Monitors in Srinagar. Evening, we savored the bananas and cherries bought at the local market (bazaar). We got dinner, even to bed, but not because of the birthday of Marius. Simply owner had guests at home, while the rain we could not eat it outside. As a birthday present Mariusz got great dehlijskie Ulissessa edition of James Joyce. Yummy ... rarytasik true:) Wykonczylismy wedding in hopes of vodka (do not think that until we had enough - just 3 / 4 poured out to us the way: () that protect us from the consequences of eating the local food. Usnelismy tired, not even knowing when.

Humorous Anniversary Verses



houses on the water - the day before we took the fourth
into Kashmir, all the foreigners on the bus were subjected to passport control. It was not, so what control. A fully uniformed soldiers asked us aside to write down the relevant data from the passport. Typed "Kamila Maria Kamila Burbo instead: D and" Marie Henry "instead of Mariusz Sieraczkiewicz :-) I moved them from error. Despite concerns by Controlling First, it turned out later that it was a very nice time: D Soldiers they asked us from where we are what we do.
continued to see a reflection of yesterday, no one wants to hurt you here: D and people are very friendly. Very open minded to foreigners and this meant that she brings zaczynaismy feel better. Maria adds that "at home", but hmmm I do not know if I agree with that. Nastwienie we are to experience this place, culture. Sometimes it is a very intense experience in every way.
less than two hours later we were on the spot. We found the beautiful views and sandy beaches. From the bus station took us symaptyczny guy named Ghulam (do not know why his name we associate with golum;). We look with concern, which the boat will become our home for the next 10 days. Why the concern? Some of them looked really awful, and yet wonder of swimming on the water. We begged the thoughts, not just to they already were. Podplynelismy szikara (so called the local ice), pretty good look much like the front of the boat, but this turned out to be the home owner. The house was located deep in the water-looking a bit worse. Our room did not resemble either a standard hotel room or in the mother. He anxiously looked narrowly at his tormentors. It was a room made mostly of fairly thick cardboard, with windows overlooking the surrounding mountains. Yes. This beautiful view of the Himalayas we compensated for any inconvenience our new locale. Unfortunately the bathroom also is common, but no in the end we are in India. Sure we could traffic much worse. Immediately after unpacking and bathing our golum took us on a trip to a nearby cove. It was wonderful. Saw water gardens full of lotus, who according to stories golum, bloom every morning for an hour. Sailing through numerous channels crossing the water gardens. We watched the work of local women. We saw a beautiful sunset in the middle of the lake. Soon after this expedition was waiting for us a delicious dinner. From now on, we stopped the pages of Indian food. We ate dinner in the company of two Japanese, a German couple and one Englishman. It was nice to sit in such an international team, although it was hard to find a common topic of conversation. Kolo 23 hours we went for a well deserved rest. We assumed that the way we sleep, in order to sleep longer in the existing difficulties of travel.

I do not quite know what it was supposed to do with the luxury bus near hmmm maybe it happened: D It's important that we had seats together. Behind us were traveling on the bus 3 Australians, 1 French, and some unidentified european. The journey passed very quickly. Already after the first 30 minutes, the bus caught my gums. However, after some 30 minutes, the drivers managed to change the tire and continued our journey. Kozystajac we bought crisps from the standstill ... hoping that we will experience nowgo Indian flavor. Unfortunately, the familiar taste of thwarted we consume them. We survived the trip to Kashmir in the cola (to the delight of Mariusz: P), cookies from Mom (Grand Buzek for mom: *), zakuponych chlebkach.

Along the way, we had more controls at internal borders of Kashmir, but I already write about it tomorrow.

Weird Feeling In Upper Left Abdomen



People are strange when you're a stranger, faces look ugly When you alone ... - The second day that day, we realized that the key to success is to overcome the fear of otherness. But one by one ... Around 10 am, we woke up the phone in a hotel room. Polprzytomni we took it, but not really understanding what they say to us, the receptionist, we went to sleep on. When the phone rang again at 11:30 am we began to suspect that our room was not booked for longer, which affirmed a voice in the earpiece. Drowsiness suddenly gone sideways. Even without undressing pajamas, quickly narzuciwszy something yourself quickly ran to "a friendly" travel agency. Our tutor confirmed that there is no space for us. Now, we were already confident that the hotel room was only a single freewheel encouraging for the offer office. Supervisor presented the proposals we can not refuse - $ 165 instead of $ 230 yesterday for 10 days spent in Sinigar homes on the water. After a moment's reflection we decided to go. The only problem was that the bus went for an hour, and we we were not even packed. We got 15 minutes to pack in August. At a rapid pace we arrived at the hotel in the guard's boyfriend from the office, on the way we sometimes did not died. In haste we packed in August. After returning to the office we noticed that people with whom we had the same Take the bus was gone. How did the tone of conversation domyslelismy owner of one of his employees - is a problem. From words to words turned out that there is no place for us on the bus today. We said that we have no intention to collaborate with them any longer and demanded money back. Of course, this was an option, but the owner of the office offered to jerk us half way by jeep and beat the rest of the other bus. Seeing our hesitation, we presented the second option. Zaproponal, you'll get one more day at his cost in his mother's house, get a guide and to invite us for dinner. This seemed to us to offer more favorable and provide an opportunity of cheap spend one more day in Delhi. In addition, seemed to be safer than driving a jeep, especially at night. Winding streets we were to bring his mother's home owner's office. He was far from the standard hotel, most importantly, however, seemed to be fine. Quickly unpacked the bare essentials and took a shower. Let us add that the average temperature in Delhi was around 40 degrees Celsius, so the sweat poured down us mercilessly.
We asked a guide. While waiting for his mother invited us for breakfast and tea. In the meantime, showed me around us in his home, showing your belongings. Colored interior resembled our little flat .... ahhhhhh - the warm colors ranging from yellow through red to violet az. For breakfast we got toasted, hellishly sweet tea with milk and very salty butter. With a slight concern given meal looked at very carefully and we began to eat. Over the next half, waiting for a guide, we watched Indian television series along with her mother and her younger son. A few moments later appeared in the doorway of a guide, however, stated that at this time is too hot for sightseeing and even suggested to be an hour. We went to rest in our new beds, carefully observing that there are no worms in them. :) As soon as we woke up
after 17 Difference of time would still give us a misery. Wyjrzelismy the corridor - a guide waiting for us already. We wondered what else can we wait for that day.
guide began to lead us to the market, but we told him that he spent the whole day there. We wanted to explore the city. First of all we went to a Hindu temple, to which the previous day, we could not reach.
Already after the first few minutes spent with a guide, we noticed that it is much easier for us to get around the city. His presence gave us a kind of protection against nachalnymi sellers. He gave us many valuable comments on the operation in Delhi. M. et al. We presented the bargaining strategies. Suggested that not allowed to go into polemics, please go away a few steps, and the seller is probably going to propose a lower price. At the same time we realized that in this manner, although quite by accident, we were able to get a discount travel agent. Quite big drawback was that our guide, with a slightly used the English language, which he initially very blocked. But notice that does not bother us too much, he started to talk about his wife, a love of two and three-year-old children living in the northern part of India, have not seen already for 5 months.
interesting was that the locals greeted us with openness. Children eagerly coming up to us and give out hand. In the garden near the temple came to us and a lady welcomed us in India. Virtually Everyone asks the whole time we're from and how we like it. The most important application Raised on this day was that no one wants to hurt us here, but only for us to make.
stay in the temple pozowolil us know closer to the Hindu faith - different incarnations of the same God. Interestingly, the temple, in contrast to the rest of the whole city was clean. Any water, sand or other impurities were immediately sweep by those involved in cleanup. We saw a different face of India - India devotional.
The next goal was to our destination of India Gate (India Gate) - the building designed for the commemoration of Indian Army participation in the First World War. We got there a rickshaw for a guide who wytargowal favorable price. We felt clearly, Another advantage of the mobility of the guide is that we pay less.
Apart from the fact that the Gateway of India is a very spectacular building, we could note that this is the place to spend time Hindu families. Ida there after work, and together buyer eat lunch on the grass. Kamila
light began to descend, and began to experience a cold smell of acrid Dehli European unaccustomed noses. Mood
tour decided to go to the infantry in the direction of the parliament buildings, which were at the other end of the street on which we were - Janpath.
the way we talked a lot of tours. Dowiedzilismy that his monthly salary is 3,000 rupees (about 300 USD). More or less the same again, he manages to earn from tourists napiwkach and commissions for bringing customers to specific stores and restaurants. Intrigued us how much we all can help - as someone has a client, the second tries to help him finish off the interest, not jealousy. The road to the buildings
PARLIAMENT turned out to be much longer than we have seemed, so when we got there it was already dark. We were able to just maturing, outlines of buildings, so we decided to go back. This time it was defeated way back underground. Due to the threat of terrorism, we were searched at the entrance. Zamist tickets may here very cool chips, which is left at the exit. Straight from the subway we went to a restaurant for our first truly Indian dinner ... drop-out exactly on the second anniversary of our being together: D
restaurant from the outside and the inside looked very nice and accompanied the whole time we live music. We had quite a problem with your order food, because everything sounded strange to us. We chose Kofta and something that was potatoes with vegetables. Generally tolerable, although the sauces were very sharp, so the practical kill the true taste of food. It had an advantage, because everything tastes smell Dehli Dehli, who himself enough in itself is quite irritating. The sharp taste of it quite well camouflaged. Returning to how we called it "the taste Dehli '- we will try to bring peanuts or potato chips, which are imbued him outright. Perhaps this is a taste of some spices, which is strange to us. Perhaps it is due to the smell of scent soaked streets of Delhi food przyrzadanych on the street. Perhaps the dense humid air permeates everything around Delhi.
We got to the table beautifully presented dishes and a little surprise: P We do not know when, no one knows whence, on the plates Kamila landed something that had more legs than it is. Certainly was not part of the meal, when requested the Vegetarian Food: D Apparently
are four phases of adaptation to the worms in the food: first
Food thrown
second He pulls out a worm, and it further
third He eats a worm
August 4th Worm prevented from escape from the plate: D
We hope that we do not reach the fourth stage by remaining in the second:)
At the end of the meal we got water with lemon to wash their hands and something to eliminate odors after the meal - was mingled with anise with some spice and ate a handful. Upon payment of no small account, we returned to her mother's house. Odkazilismy stomachs vodka wedding:) and went to sleep watching closely if anything comes to us from behind the bed.

Pavel Ignatieff Was Captured By Bolsheviks

Arrival and first day

Immediately after the wedding We packed all the crazy things ready for 4 in the night. Deaths we had no strength to do this any longer. We only accompanied the thought that after 2 hours we have to get up, to finish the preparation. Alarm clock rang at 6 o'clock ruthlessly Well, just ... properly bathe before the trip, pack the rest of the stuff, change money, buy a camera, get into work, to complete a few formalities, arrange furniture affair ... and we can go. So somehow we managed to do it all, so we came up with last moments of the station ... for about 12.00 ... a departure? ... at 12.00:) only with the repacked yet remained a backpack, which we took over ten minutes earlier. Managed to ... going ... Polish Express to Warsaw. We got to the airport 2 hours before departure. Here stoically We gave our luggage and waited for clearance. Kamila has been thoroughly checked, as the device at the airport but clearly had some. Finally managed to find yourself a little piece of straw that stuck in my pocket. Now I just waited for the appearance of the aircraft. I started there in August ... we got to the claustrophobic small samolociku Lufthansa and waited anxiously for the start ... and all around somehow so strangely calm they were. Engines began to roar, the plane slowly sets up August on the track. Suddenly I felt a violent acceleration. Slightly wedged us in the seats and the plane started to float in the air. This niesawite see Warsaw from a bird's eye. Less than 1.5 godzny later we were in Munich, where after two hours ruszalismy the coveted Delhi. Here are the comfort of the flight was completely different. The plane of the six times larger, fabulous staff - Mariusz komantuje. But for the regulars airline is probably standard. After about 7 gozinach flight at 7.00 am local time we landed. After leaving the aircraft in a strange smell hit his nostrils, it was clearly feel wilgtniejsze air. When you receive the luggage we went to visit a bank representative, to replace U.S. dollar in rupees. We met with resistance distinctly the matter ... For your big problem was issue a receipt ... and this printer does not work ... and it did not want to print out receipts manually. We stood stubbornly at her and we got the coveted document. Clearly we rushed to save everything in huge volumes, which was repeated later in hotels, agencies and stores. As it turned out it was just the beginning. Well, we waited quite a passage from August to slay our local taxi drivers. And because we had no hotel booked, or idea where to go, easier for them to persuasion that their services will be the best and the others are scammers. After all we were tough. Even though we decided to call a few hotels, but it turned out the phone numbers of the guide are outdated. We were forced to give to take away one of nagabujacych taxi to the center. Competitive pricing suggested 150 rupees, and the only one has any card licenyjna taxi. Hardly we left the airport and from the area struck us even greater warmth and sharper scent the air. But still we were tough ... doubter should come later ... We took the taxi and we went toward the center. Our eyes appeared to an unforgettable landscape. It was something I had not expected, and certainly far deviate from our idealized India ... Do not forget this feeling, which started to accompany us. Interesting mixture of excitement and horror, and intrusive thoughts ... "And what am I doing here" ... We felt completely helpless in this country, where everything looks different. The fact that cars run on the left side seemed to be little shortcoming. Immediately przyomnial me a video which showed me one time a colleague from work. It Przestawial intersection on which samochdy, bicycles, rickshaws and people came from all sides at once. remember how it laughed with them, how to manage them seamlessly przejechaci. Jacko it was nothing compared to how people workout here!! Going by today rickshaw, I had the impression that I am doing a horn, a driver driving down firmly on the front. You do not have any recipes or at least we do not see that any force: D zamast road signs horns I use it?? Maybe because some cars do not have side mirrors. Honking is the only way to signal its presence on the road. This results in a continual halkas on the streets. Every moment of every stony someone trabi. The whole time we admire how they manage to ride in these conditions - at moments wpychajacych August car, completely not forewarned line designating the lanes, ignoring traffic lights, etc. For this we must add that we did not see ANY collision. But let us return to our journey toward the center. Around piaszczyzne stretched, dirty areas full of garbage and ruins of buildings, inhabited by people. Walked on by people begging in the streets, dirty with children in their arms, while children constituted just a prop that was supposed to awaken pity. It seemed to us that everything is perpetually in construction or from the moment passed by the City of earthquake ground. The eagerly wypatrywalismy dream center in the hope that this view will change. Nothing like this has happened. We got to the tourist office. At first we thought that a person with whom we talked, it helps us in finding accommodation, while we already planned to stay in India, who of course we would have to be nice to pay, and he would have with the commission. Suspiciously zobowiazywalismy not for nothing, just pushed to find a hotel. Of course it turned out that our interlocutor has very advantageous offer of the hotel, who collaborates with him, especially as we learned that the freshly after the wedding. Once you go out, he asked us what we are country. When we told that I am Polish, face and asked him zrzedla "aha .... low budget?". Thought I was from the UK and hoped that earns us a lot. At first glance, the hotel called Sunstar seemed to us to bad, but after a long day, we found that in comparison with other nearby hotels looks really nice. In any case, we have verified your expectations. We have a bathroom, fridge, TV, fan and air conditioning for only (!) 600 rupees. The first moments alone in the hotel were not easy. Here appeared the above-mentioned doubter. Knulismy insidiously making this day 1000 pictures and return to the Polish. Zaszylibysmy August under the boat and then it as if nothing had wrocilibysmy June 22 from ... INDIA: D Negative emotions we decided to get some sleep. During our four-hour nap nieswiamosc worked on it to take up the challenge of acclimatization. We woke up with much more positive attitude. We decided to look around the area. Leaving the hotel again, we hit the heavy zar Delhi air. With time, it stopped paying attention. Rozwniez less hindered our dirty streets. We are accustomed to the particular beauty of the city - shops, people living on the streets and zaczepiajacych us at every step.
decided to go to a nearby temple on foot, because the map, which we had suggested that she is pretty close to it. But the first person who asked how to reach it, found that getting there will take at least 45 minutes. There is offended us and we went on, breaking through the streets, on which we constantly were accompanied by noise and fear that in a moment someone will deduct us. We got to the main road, which was located at the metro. Looking very carefully for the underground station. When I managed to find, just behind the present appeared to our eyes the market. At least that is called something like a big street market. We had a detour just for a moment, but the next street drew us ever closer. Camilla have chosen two pairs of wonderful, wonderful shoes, after which, however, already had no time to go back later. Countless colorful things (clothes, shoes, sheets, food) for sale, how different from those which we can buy in Poland, has caused, and increasingly zbaczalismy route.
trained trade negotiations with the natives, to know their behavior and strategies of action (the Seller avoid the dual display of prices, urging the range trying owned). Kamila with regret going away from a stands with ciuszkami, heard behind his back as sellers lower the price of products. But we need many more experiences to precisely know the intentions of the people. To our surprise, one of the streets we saw a McDonalds. Fearing for our stomachs, the first day we preferred to eat something sprawdzonego.Jednak wondered that, apart from fishmakiem nothing looked familiar to us. Interestingly, the offer was an enormous amount of vegetarian meals. Spalaszowalismy something small and zaczlismy meet to return, because it started half an hour's march zmierzchac.Po realized that is not close to where our hotel is located. Even Some rickshaw driver does not quite know how to get there. Luckily found one who offered to drive us to the place for 10 rupees. Unfortunately, in the middle of the route stopped and said it wants to ride 25 rupiii. As a proud negotiators decided not to cooperate with this type of entrepreneur you :-) of course, he found himself owner of another travel agency, who offered us help one of their countrymen. In his company in a few minutes we reached the goal. With joy we noticed at the grocery store and you can buy for 48 rupees 2-liter Coca-Cole, who became a reward for the effort today. We returned to the room, took a cold shower .... tbc
