Woah Johnny.

Well, it has really been weeks since I have writen on my blog. I am not really good at keeping up with it. I haven't writen in my journal in a week either. Not good.
But this shows I am having a great time.
So...back to February.
18th - 25th
I spent these days on an 8 day retreat...Intro to Buddhism and Meditation. It was quite an interesting course. I really enjoyed the time I got to spend there. I also met some wonderful people. Not going to say much more on this.
From here I headed to Delhi to meet up with a couple friends for a few days. In Delhi got to see the Lotus temple which was quite cool. Went to a party with at a friends friends house. Quite fun.

Feb 28
Elephant festival in Jaipur. I really wanted to go to this, but be in Delhi with some friends for Holi on the first. I decided to take a bus to Jaipur for one night and a night bus back to Delhi for the 1st. It was a busy few days but great. The festival wasn't exactly what I was expecting but the elephants looked amazing. All were painted up for the festival.It was great.

Mar 1
Holi! Festival of Colours! Great great time. It was really an amazing, sureal experience. We went to the uni campus with a group of people. There were so many people and so many colours. Just great!

Mar 2-5
Jaipur.
This time I decided to couchsurf. Thought it would be interesting. The guy was really nice and helpful. Jaipur wasn't what I expected it to be. I found the men here more forward than usual. It was really quite annoying. Tiring.
From Jaipur I headed to Pushkar, and on the bus met a really sweet wonderful English couple

Mar 5 - 8
Pushkar.
We spent 3 days and nights here. I got a hotel with Adam and Anna when we got there and really enjoyed our stay there. It was a smaller town and quite quiet. No pressure to do sight seeing. Nice to relax. The only bad thing was getting my phone stolen..life goes on.

Mar 9 - Now
Jaisalmer.
We got a night bus from Pushkar here. We got sleepers on the bus. This means there are seats below and beds above. It was quite funny. It felt a lot like being in a sort of cage. We arrived in Jaisalmer and met a hotel guy. They had a recommendation and arranged to be picked up. This hotel is absolutely stunning and we got an amazing deal on it...I'm paying about 5$/night. Just beautiful.
Got back from our 2 day (1.5 day) camel safari. It was a lot of fun. Such a different experience. Bum a little sore, but manageable. :)

I know these blogs are quite boring...maybe better to just check out the map on google.
Things are good and I'm having a great time.
