The Road to Varanasi...



...was a long one and we had to stop for the night along the way. Unlike any of the countries we have been to so far, India does not lend itself to good quality bush camping. The whole country is so populated that its almost impossible to find spot that hasn't been built or farmed on. On top of this, as the first picture shows, we tend to draw a bit of a crowd wherever we park up. However, we were lucky enough to find a petrol station along a quiet strectch of road whos owner, amzingly, let us camp on the grassy area behind the forecourt! One of the best campsites we've found so far, they didn't even object to our gas cookers being used only meters away from the pumps! Thanks to Garth for the photos
