Bangalore

Leaving Hampi was a hard thing to do. The feeling there is like home, you have all you need and all you want right next to you, but I had to move on especially after ordered tickets to Andeman Iilands.
So now I am in Bangalore and all the nice things I said on the indian, I am taking back. Yesterday will be remembered as the Riksha's days or the most annoying day in India. I spend more time and money on riksha's and arguing with the indian then enjoying this place and I give up on all the plans for this place like shopping and tours.
First riksha wanted 50 ruppies more then what we closed because the first hotel he took us to was full and he had to drive one minute more. with the second one I close on 40 ruppies and at the end he claim we said 50 so we argue on the street calling each other cheat and a layer. the third one was a indian guy who saw me with the lonley planet and offer his help to see some shops with his motor cycle. this also finished with screaming on the street as he wanted 100 ruppies for 5 minutes driving to nowhere. at night I was suppose to meet some friends at a resturant and after the riksha driver got lost for an hour and a half instead of 15 minutes ride he decide he should get extra money then the price show in the metter. after eating alone because I was late in almost 2 hours I found my self in another riksha that manage to get lost while looking for gas. he didn't find so I took off on the middle of nowhere just to go on another riksha that couldn't find my hotel. at the end again he asked for more money then what is written in the meeter and add to that his sad sorry annoying look.

The girls here also had a bad day with the indian here that staired at them and grabbed their ass.

So to summarise banglore. The resturants here are great, and you can do shooping as well. but it's not a place to be at your own. if you like to stay in sane.

Hampi

It's hard here with the internet. the second day here I went to Mowgly it's another guest house here that looks beautifull but few days before, 10 people got sick after having dinner there. so I entered the internet and after writing in the blog for an hour. there was an electricity shut down and everthing was erased.

I am staying at the Shanti. all the best guest house are place in the other side of the river where you need to pay 10 ruppies (5 for locals) for a boat to get you there. if you miss the last boat at 18:30 at night you may found your self crossing it an night when waters get to your neck. israeli couple found therself walking in the river after visiting the other side hospital (not there best day..)

Hampi is an amazing place, the nature here was hardly been touched or destroy by humans, and therefore you can see all green around you with huge stones all arround you and the river in the midle. monkeys are everywhere and so are all other animals that you would excpect farms will have but loose in the nature (some of them).

usualy we spending the time here by blaring the view, walking around, gatthering together, listenning to music, playing card games (and chess), reading, eating, and swimming the lake.

Muky in India: Palulem Day 4

Muky in India: Palulem Day 4

Palulem Day 4

After Arambol, we wanted to go to hampi, but again the bus tickets ran out, and we had to wait for few more days. instead we decide to move on to Palulem for few days and from there continue south or east.
The journey to Palulem took almost a day, and we had to change 4 busses until reaching here (but it was chipper then one taxi and the view was great).

I took the bus with two israeiles . they are both 22 years old starting there long trip and as that, they try to save us much money as possible while I am letting my self go loose.

The beach hear is beautiful, again no wonder why people stay here for so long. you wake up in the mornning, go to the beach until it's to hot then travel around and in the afternoon go again to the beach to see the sunset and play with the locals (what ever..)

Arambol day 4

The first two days I spent in the "White House" - a guest house very close to the beach with safe deposit and hot shower, but after seeing the beach and the beautiful view from the clif I decide to move to a house between the cocunut trees with a balcony to the sea.
The fist night was hard after couldn't sleep for the first half of it, trying to cover my self totally and to be protected against the hundred of butterfly that fly into my room and the rest of the creatures that followed them and feeling things moving on my back and hair. after few hours I guess I just surrended my self saying that usually most creatures that size doesn't really looking for humans and they are busy enough eating one each other, beside if so many tourists allow them self sleep hear for weeks, then I guess I'll survive. In the morning my neighbour (sweet israely girl, 30 years old who just got married and come to rest before dedicate her self to childcaring) agree it was a hard night and show me where the broom is to brush the room from all the dead butterflys before ants will concour the room. I also bought few "longs" to cover my self with my own sheets and continue blending with the nature.

Arambol - Goa

וואו, כאילו הביאו את הנוף שבסרטים לכאן, איך שכחתי לקחת תמצלמה. הכנתי את התיק ורגע לפני שיצאתי השארתי את המצלמה בחדר כי חשבתי שאצא רק לסיבוב אולי קצת ים.

אחרי שיורדים לחוף והולכים ימינה צפונה מגיעים לשביל ארוך שמימינך הצוק ובמעבר כל מיני בסטות, מסעדות ופה ושם גסט האוסים משקיפים מלמעלה. ואז אחרי 10 דקות הליכה בערך פתאום מתגלה הרצועת חוף הזאת , מפרץ טבעי שמימינו כל הצוק מכוסה בירוק ומשמאלו מערב הים. הפלאש הראשון שעלה לי בראש זה אבודים הסדרה.
מעליך עורבים דואים ומחפשים כל מיני מאכלים על הקרקע. בים הודים משחקים במסירות כדור. בחוף נערים הודים מסתובבים ומציעים שייקים, מיצים שמשיה מיטץ שיזוף, אוכל, מה שתרצה רק שיהיה לך נוח.
ולפעמים מסתובב לו איזה קרלוס קטן. כלב רחוב כזה, שחופר לו בור מתחת לצל של שמשיה עד שתגיע השקיעה. התיירים בדיוק בכמות הנכונה, קצת מערבים ויותר ישראלים. מספיק בכדי להרגיש בטוח ולא יותר מידי כדי להרגיש בעולם מספרי הפנטזיות.

מחר אני אקח מצלמה ואנסה להוסיף לכאן תמונות. הבעייה ששכחתי את הכבל. נראה אולי למישהו כאן יהיה.
גם נראה לי שאבדוק את הגסט האוסים האלה באמצע. יש להם נוף מדהים.

Goa - Arambol

Just arrive to Goa.
Pune was great, but more then few days is to much. the main thing to do there is the Osho ashram resort. I have been there for three days and done lots of meditations. actually it's my first time doing such thing. and it was nice, especially the AUM multiversity meditation where we medidate for 3 hours going from one amotion to another every 12 minuets. starting from hunger to love to going crasy, crying, hapinness, sexuality and more...
But at some point you feel it's enough, first because of the price , it's really very expensive. and second because meditating is not an easy work. you actually go with a watch all day long so you want miss anything.

I also met there a very nice people: western, israelies, and local. and had the chance to see the "real india" before moving on. First I was thinking on continue to hampy but because it an holiday every thing was already booked and so I decide to come here - Goa.
I just arrive and didn't yet had the chance to do something except for a booking a room and having a shower but the view is amasing, now I understand why people are so in love with this place.
