Tue 22/5
Our bus was running really late, it was 1pm before our stop finally came. (18hrs on a bus instead of 15hrs) Thankfully the bus driver was great, he knew exactly where we needed to get off and sent someone to tell us when our stop was close. We got off the bus in Pautlikhaul and had to get a taxi to Nagger. We were pleased to find out that the lady Arya, who we organised the Woofing with was American and we were staying in her house and eating our meals with Rinku and his family next door. Nagger is absolutely beautiful! Up in the mountains surrounded by trees, its much cooler here too and there is even snow on the the tops of the mountains! We settled in and relaxed for the rest of the day! The house was beautiful, we had the downstairs and Arya had the upstairs, only downside was there wasn't a proper toilet so have to hover Indian style and get used to a hose rather than toilet roll for a bit!lol. Rinkus mum made really good proper homemade Indian food which we ate sitting on the floor in their small house which was a great experience.
Wed 23/5
Our first day as a woofer was an interesting experience! Arya is a very different lady, bit of an old hippie, a free spirit as some folk would put it, thinks everything happens for a reason, we just think she is a bit crazy! It was totally unorganised we didn't start doing anything until about 11am. Our job was to make the back of her house nice so she can sit out there. Cam dug a hole for her to burn her rubbish first then Rinku came and we were meant to dig away the dirt, riddle the dirt to get rid of the stones and half way through this more people came and it was decided that the dirt didn't need to be dug away it just needed to be evened out then she decided she was going to have grass there instead of a paved area and oh so much confusion!! Any way it took half a day to do a few hours work. Typical India, no one has a clue but everyone has a different opinion!lol. After spending the evening with Arya we decide she is crazier than we thought. After visiting here for two days she decided to move here, pay to build a house which she doesn't even own, just has a 10 year lease and she hates the Indian people and their culture! CRAZY!!
