We ahd a lazy day before getting an auto acoss town to the Bollywood cinema. We watched TaRaRumPum, set in New York, a tyre changer gets the chance to become a huge racing star. Meets girl, falls in love, has 2 adorable kids, has accidnet on track, cue 10min interval (yes that was only half way!) Then another hour or so of the family trying to make things wrk and him get back in the car. We absolutely loved it! I will be dragging bradley down to Cineworld Feltham for some more!! Finished off the evening with a McDonalds and an early night!

Very early meet and a short walk down to the river ganges this morning. We took a sunrise boat trip along the river watching the early risers washing, bathing and swimming. We saw the ghats that line the banks and a cremation building that is rarely used. We saw several bodies buring and mounds of ashes being scooped up and dumped on the shoreline (wild dogs apperaed to be eating and sleeping amoungst them) It was quite emotional and a little surreal, so different to our beliefs and traditions back home. We finished the boat ride and had beakfast back at the hotel then went back to sleep! At 9:30 a few of the group went to some local temples and a silk factory. I on the other hand along with Jo and Anna took this chance to go shopping. We got some beautiful scarves for presents and some cute wooded toys for Tate. Brad and I opted out of the sunset boat ide (how different could they be?) and watched the football (not going into that - NOT A HAPPY BUNNY!)
