We had a 15 hour overnight jeep right from Leh to Srinigar. I was crammed in between an overweight Indian guy and the window with hardly any room to move. This was actually not a problem for me at first, the initial 6 hours of the trip were totally fine for me. Chris, on the other hand, was not doing so hot. He had to stop the jeep and get out and vomit every 15-20 minutes for a few hours. They moved him to the front seat so he could dry heave out the front window. I felt bad for him… and then I started to feel literally bad as well. I ended up puking a couple times. When we finally arrived in Srinigar we didn’t take much time to find a houseboat to stay on and just slept all day. I didn’t eat anything that day except a little rice at night. Although the jeep ride ended up being our most unpleasant transportation experience so far, we are feeling better now though, it’s allllllllll gooooooood!
Srinigar was great, sleeping on a houseboat on a lake. I spent our day in Srinigar not sightseeing but instead meditating and cultivating peace of mind and happiness.
We spent a few hours today seeing the Taj Mahal, a beautiful building but an unsurprisingly touristy experience. We have a car rented now with a driver who is going to take us around to see some much deserved sights in our last week here. 6 hours of driving to Jaipur today.
No more time to post, it’s time to ride. Road trip, wooooooooo!
I should like to know, where in these wondrous travels of yours, do you stay each night.
sounds like an awesome car ride! can’t wait to see more pictures!
It really sucks that you both were ill. I’m glad you’re both doing much better now =] enjoy the rest of the trip and we’ll be here waiting with open arms in America!
