On our morning flight from Delhi to Varanasi with Air India Laurie and I got bumped to business class, unfortunately the flight only takes just over an hour so we didn't have too much time to enjoy it.
This afternoon we visited Sanarth, the place where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. I thought this was going to something special but it just didn't have that feel that I thought it would :(
Tonight was pretty special though. We joined the thousands of people and made our way down to the ghats on the banks of the Ganges. The sea of people has to be experienced to be believed!!!
We took an old wooden row boat onto the water and along with heaps of others rowed up past the cremation ghats and then back in front of the bathing ghats to what the fire ceremony. We lit candle offerings and set them afloat on the Ganges. What a special experience :))
