namste!
here comes the second part of my trip to india. from arambol to hampi by nightbus.
my friend was so absolutly afraid in the nightbus that she nearly could not sleep. i was just amazingly exited to be on the road again. and i sleept like a stone. on the next morning everybody told me that the bus stopped in the middle of the night and some drunken indians entered. they grapped an anerican girl on the ass and woke almost everybody up and asked for money. i had no idea at all, i just sleept.
we had breakfast in a disgusting indian restaurant, but i only had massala-tea and cigartetts, for a good reason. almost everybody on the bus had a stomach-desease, and the queue in front of the toilet was very, very long. i did not even have toilet-paper with me.
our first impression of hampi was flashing. from the beach to the desert. dry land, stones. an indian guy once told us hampi is "moonland". he was so right. from goa to such a religious place.





our guesthouse seemed to be nice and the food was great!
we met two american girls wich travelled together with a german boy. they were nice and the boy asked if he can go with us to kerala after hampi. we thought the idea is not to bad, maybe it would be nice to have a male company for some time...
in the evening we were sitting togheter on the roof and my friend was tired and went to bed very soon. so i talked to that german boy. you have to know, he is one of the most not attractive persons i ever met. so, after some time i wanted to go to bed, but my friend locked the room and was sleeping already. i had no chance to weak her up. i almost smashed the door and waked up everybody in the hole guesthouse, but she was still sleeping. so i had to sleep in the room of this boy. it was horrible. i tryed to have as much space between us as possible, but he came closer and closer during the night.
on the next morning my friend and i checked out the old tempels, that was quite amazing. but after some hours we realy had the feeling that we saw enough stones...



so, we concentrated on the biggest problem we had to face in hampi. they dont sell beer. and we realy had the feeling that we need beer! we manged to get a riksaw-driver who brought us to a place where we could get beer and than we drank it secretly in our room in the guesthouse. we feld like little schoolgirls... hihi.

after a few days in shanthi-hampi, where we met a lot of nice, nice people, we went on to bengalore with the german...




and here are some halloween-pics!



acha!
that´s it for this time. next week i will go on with the story!

finally, here comes the promised blog!
i still have not arrived here. mostly because i dont want to arrive. i loved india so much and so many incredible things happend. one month was ridiculous short... but what to do? i am back and i guess i have to handle it.
i realy missed nothing and nobody during my hole trip. my dog a little bit, but nobody else.
in my first week in arambole in goa, i was sleeping in a hut at the beach. it was still mosum time and i always had three stray-dogs sleeping in my hut. it was such a nice feeling to hear the sea, the rain and be surrounded by the dogs. two of them, i brought to the international animal rescue in asagoa, because it turned out that they were realy sick.


i realy felt in love with the black one. it was a goodby with a lot of tears, but i knowed i did the best for him i could have done. he will become all the medical treatment he needs.
i realy met a lot of very interresting people in arambol and i am still in contact with them. some of them retourned back home, some are still somewere in india. i love to read their storys.
we went on, from arambole to hampi, then bengalore, varkala, i travelled around in kerala and ended in cochin. but i couldent stay long at one place. so i decided to do the only thing that realy makes sence- i catched a flight back to goa, back to arambol, to face everything. but, it was a very diffrent arambole, season nearly started, my dog was not there anymore... i was very concerned about the dog and realy wanted to visit him, but i came to the conclusion that this might not be the best idea. and then, one day, the animal rescue called at the place were i stayed to ask if it´s ok if a lady adpopts my dog. hell yeah! of course that was ok! that were realy great news. and to make me even more happier, i had some nice e-mails in my account. so, arambol did it´s work for the second time.
i am very much sure that i will go back there. back to my strays, the sweet-water lake next to the beach, with the jungle behind. the tree with the crazy baba. the jam-sessions, thusday and sunday at loekie-cafe. and i will drink a bottle of old monk and cashew femin with seven up on the beach in front of cocks-town, together with the most friendly, amazing people i met for a long time. and everything will be shanthi, shanthi again..-.
it´s impossible to express with words how much i love this place.









of course, the other places i visited deserve to be honoured too. and there are many storys i have to tell. and many pics i want to share. but that will come next week.
i realy need my time for all that.

in my real life i am back in universtiy and i do a great filming-course for the next two semsters.
munich is freezing cold, but my new flat is cozy and warm.
since i am back, i am a chain-smoker and i am drunk very often. and next week i will have a visitor from israel.
i guess, everything will be alright.
but i realy feel the desperate need to leave germany. next vacations are coming soon!
