  2. Día 2: Sarnath y Varanasi (viaje al norte de la India)

    Blog: Diario de a bordo - 19 April 2011

    Varanasi, 10 de enero de 2011Me desperté sabiendo que ya había amanecido, pero sin ganas de salir de la cama. Tenía la nariz congelada, lo que indicaba que afuera seguía haciendo la misma temperatura glacial del día anterior. Tras armarme de valor, salí corriendo del saco de dormir y me vestí en un tiempo récord. Esa mañana la ducha quedaba descartada, porque no me apetecía pillar una pulmonía.

    Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 11 March 2011

    4:30 pm The panic I felt while stuck in mind-boggling traffic is fading. I’ve made it to the Varanasi Junction station in time for my 4:45 train to Agra. I step inside, and India assaults me with full force. It seems that not a single spot in the train station is unoccupied; people are sitting [...]

  6. Varanasi the Incomprehensible

    Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 4 March 2011

    Before I went to India, I knew that I could expect to see an intense religious devotion there; the kind of faith that leads people to make pilgrimages just to plunge themselves in waters that are considered to be sacred. I also knew that I could expect layers of filth. But I hadn’t expected that [...]

    Blog: Travelicious - 17 August 2009
