Last letter from India

Esmarelda is on her way back:

"Since last i wrote we have been on the go non-stop: We did a 2 day hike (12kms each day) and once again almost died, but felt good afterwards. I was diagnosed with tendonitis in my knees (there were two doctors in our group) so my knees were a bit sore. It all paid out though, as we stayed in the most idylic place - a farm on a hill for 3 nights. It was so peacefull with hammocks, a pool and THE MOST DELICIOUS homecooked indian food.
After this we missioned by jeep and train to another hectic city - Amritsar, in the state of Pumjab and very close to the Pakistan border. We visited the Golden Temple,( a huge sikh temple )both by day and night, and was almost crushed by the thousands off to pray. (seriously, have never been pushed like that - not even in africa!) We also visited the border, where the soldiers from both countries put on a little show - it was about 45 degrees, and once again over 10- 000 people, so a bit much...."
