Khajuraho

Khajuraho, Dec 14, 2011.

49 km

It is only 3 hours cycling between Chattarpur and Khajuraho, mostly on a good flat road. I arrive here already at noon sharp. It is a relief to have my own transport. There are many stories of the bad rickshaw wallahs here, how they try to take you to a hotel of their own choosing rather than were you would want to go, all for a commision from the hotelier of course. I have practically none of that and go to Yogi Lodge. Now in the evening of my arrival day I must say this is a good place to stay. At 200 Rs for a room it is of course nothing fancy but absolutely worth it. The shower has very hot water, the management is pleasant and so is the rooftop café. I am allowed to take my bike inside in the evening with the words "Of course, this is your home!"

I had a walk around town this afternoon and tomorrow I will se the temples with its World Heritage classed erotic sandstone sculptures.

Sitter här i mörkret på jobbet med en varm kopp kaffe och en knäckemacka med 'gamle ole' ost på.
Läser dina loggar och försöker sätta mig in i trakking livet. Det går nog inte.
Lisett och jag åker till Brasilien den 07 jan 2012 och hälsar på Laura o Ebbe. Lite värme och miljöombyte blir det ju. Perra

Härligt med bilder igen;) Har själv precis ätit frukost i gryningsljus kl 10 i Tromsö norr om polcirkeln, -3 och ett fantastiskt vinterväder. Cykla försiktigt! Örjan
