Aurangabad

Well we are on our way to Goa now. We have come from Aurabang where there are the most amazing caves this side of the Shannon. The caves have been cut into monutains. it looks so incredible. For one cave alone they said that it took 150 years to complete. Its hard to even fathom that. We went on a tour bus for both cave trips and for one of the tours all the people were a great laugh. There were people from Canada, Holland France and Isreal. A good bunch of people to be with. THe heat here is unreal. Obviously the further south we go the hotter it is going to get. Its the humidity thats the killer really. We could deal with the heat but when there is humidity as well then when you take one step you are sweating like a good thing. The Indians don't seem to feel it at all. There are still people walking around with wooly hats and jackets. I just don't understand it. what is it with these people? We reckon they must all be cold-blooded creatures. The funniest thing happened at the train station last night. We were just waiting on the platform for our train when two guys came over to Colin and all of a sudden there were about 10 or 15 standing beside him listening into the conversation. While that was happening a group of students started talking to me. And again a mob surrounded me to listen into what we were talking about. It was really cool. They were all asking questions in Hindi and whoever could translate would do so and ask me in english. we had a brilliant laugh. All of a sudden someone took out a camera and wanted to get their photo taken with us. I had to call Colin over to get into the photo to. There must have been about 20 people crowding around trying to get into the photo. I swear we were like celebrities. One guy was saying to the youngsters not to be hassling us but we were loving it. you would swear they had never seen a white person before ... maybe they haven't! Afterwards they were all thanking us profusely and shaking our hands. Some of them shook our hand about 4 or 5 times. It was the funniest thing that has happened so far on the trip, I think.
So that is where we stand right now. We should be arriving into Goa tonight after a 10 hour train journey. I'll love ye and leave ye. Ta ta.
