Pilgrim journey in Radha Kund

Food?

In Radha Kund there are no restaurants. We finally found a place to eat beside the road. Bread, tomatoes and spicy soup.
We plan to move to Radha Kund in September. Maybe we will open a simple place with coffee and cinnamon buns.
When we visited Marocco in 2006 we found a favourite restaurant only serving spaghetti and tomatoe sauce to smooth jazz and lots of arts on the walls.
We'd like to create something like that. Simple, but full of atmosphere!

Purifying bath in Radha Kund

The purifying bath

When taking a bath in the two ponds in Radha Kund and go through a special ritual you will be liberated from earlier sins.
Leya and I thought it was a great idea, but Nicholas who is not that spiritual open, took a quick swim after.
Fantastic smooth water!

Japanes dinner and fabric market

Yesterday we ate a great japanes dinner at polish Maja and japanes Taco's home.
Taco's friend Taca had just arrived from Spain.
It was raining outside. Lovely!
Today I went to the fabric market in Old Delhi with the swedish couple Alex and Linus.
Alex is designing her own clothes so she shopped lots of nice fabrics.
