India, but it is worth it to see this amazing place.
The Golden Temple is plated in gold and looks truly amazing! It is set
in the middle of a holy lake. It is the holiest place for the Sikh
religion, one of many in India.
They are so generous here. They allow you to stay next to the temple
for donation only and allow you to eat at the temple for donation too!
Finally they allow you in to the temple for, yes you guessed it,
donation only!
We also got to see the spectacle at the Indian Pakistan border at
Atarri. He each side of the border like to heckle each other to
torment them as they seem to hate each other Pakistan & India. It's a
daily ritual where thousands on each side start shoutting & singing
their favourite songs. At the end of it the border guards do a funny
march (and almost slapeach other in the face), they lower the flag and
then the thousands go home for another day!
Well it has been a nice place to relax and explore for a few days.
It's funny in how we had no itininery for the trip before we left,
but now we are jjust getting swept along by other people
recommendations of where to go. This time we are heading to Varanasi
next, a 24hr train journey, our first & in basic sleeper class. Wish
us luck!
