I had an amazing nights sleep last night… well the sleeping pill I took in the early hours of the morning certainly helped and I woke up at midday where I attempted for the 14^th time to repair my camera from another one of its problems. Thankfully I successfully repaired the fault making the blurred images; I took using some tools I borrowed from a local mobile phone repair place down the road.

I didn’t want to pay the over priced food in the hotel, so after returning the tools to the shop I got a random breakfast: a bag of milk and plastic bag filled with tomatoes… don’t ask... I don’t know why either.

We chilled at the hotel for most of the day and had a look around town to see what was on offer; Pushka is where the largest livestock festival is held, over 150,000 dealers in a town that has a population of 18,000. There are a lot of backpackers that live here, mostly hippies and all the locals are get my attention by calling me ‘rasta-man’ which I cant stand cause I like my metal music and Bob Marley doesn’t do it for me.

We bumped into Tina the Australian girl from Jaipur and also Tristan whom I met in Varinasi, hes headed up North and hopefully ill catch up with him there at some point.(tristan-pettigrew@hotmail.com)

Anyways, we again went for the all you can eat restaurant for where I put together a time lapse of the plates of food I consumed which was only a little bit more than yesterday.

Again stuffed and fatigued from all the food I needed to walk it off roaming the streets I found a place that resized my ring I bought in Khajuraho for only 30 rupees, they also do courses in jewelry making that would be good fun.
