Amritsar

From Delhi we caught a hellish bus up to the Punjab region to a city called Amritsar. Its the home of the famed Golden Temple and it was spectacular..... its the Sikhs most sacred place and coupled with their welcoming nature it was an awesome experience being there.

They bath in the waters that surronds the Golden Temple.

Us with one of the Sikh's. They're pretty cool.

We went back at night and it looked even cooler....

After visiting the temple we headed out to the India-Pakistan border in Attari. Everyday they have a ceremony there for the closing of the border. Its closest comparison would be the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace but with a much madder, bollywood, flamboyant style. It was absolute chaos and incredibly hot. Both side of the border cheer when their soldiers strut down the catwalk!! A very random but cool experience.

Thousands in the purpose built stadium. The Indian girls had all just been up shaking their booty's... very amusing.

The Indian and Pakistan flags being lowered simultaneously as the sunn sets. We felt sorry for the poor Pakistani's who didnt have much of a supporting crowd (see empty stadium behind)!
