Pushkar


We left little Bundi on Saturday morning at 6 am! The bone rattling brain mushing ride took over 6 hours and we arrived in Ajmer at 12, then it was only a half an hour local bus to the much anticipated Pushkar! 


Pushkar is a small town in the middle of Rajisthan, its considered Holy as the there is a natural lake here whilst the surrounding area is all desert. When we got here the festival was in full swing, its like nothing we've ever seen before, the swarms and swarms of people on the streets every day are incredible, I've never seen so many vibrant colours, saris, turbans and little guttersnipes! People flock from all over the desert, ever tribe and caste you can imagen all busteling together, it really is fascinating to be here in the middle of it, our little white faces in pure awe of it all!





There are loads of events, today we watched the famous  moustache competition,






some bloke asked me if i was Irish because i had so many scabs on my face, 
i hope he meant freckles.
