Pass the Ganj

After a good scrub and a trip to the barbers (who insisted that he give me a rather "full on" facial... massage) ... I didn´t feel clean enough (...infact I felt I little dirtier).

I decided only the power of  "the Ganga" could cleanse my body and purify my soul!

16 hours north or Delhi (and well upstream from the rotting corpses in Varanasi) I found myself in the hippy haven of Rishikesh.

Self stylized as the yoga capital of the world (and famous for its visit by the Beatles back in the swinging 60s)... Rishikesh was a bit new age mixed with Ashram (- come Butlins) good times.

When I wasn´t learning about the ego, "om"ing and enjoying my tofu steak I tried taming it´s grade 3 rapids with my oar and breaking into the (now disused) Beatles Ashram.

... DONG
