Fri 4/5/12 (Today)
Today was one of the worst drives we have had so far in India!! Started with a bus overtaking us far too close (our driver got out and we can only imagine what was said to the bus driver!lol), watched an overloaded truck ahead of us nearly hit another truck when it was stupidly overtaking and then another taxi scratched our car by trying to go past us in a traffic jam. Not watching the road is far better for my health! The driving here really tests your nerves. We are lucky to have a very very good driver! And then to top it off we had a very poor lunch, they didn't have half the stuff on the menu, everything came about 10 minutes apart and what we did get wasn't even very good. Needless to say wasn't in the best of moods! Luckily we got some tasty food (pizza and chips!) when we got to Pushkar and the day got suddenly better! We walked through the market and visited the Brahma Temple which is said to one of the few such temples in the world. Didn't hang about to take pictures outside as there was a tout bothering us he followed us the whole way to the holy lake so we kept going back to our hotel, had a good view of the lake from there (and we are going to Varanasi) so sure we didn't miss much except having to give the guy money!lol.
