Leaving Aurangabad

We've been in India for almost 2 weeks now. Visited Delhi, Jaipur, Agra and are now in Aurangabad. This is an amazing place compared to what we've seen before. There is a place called Lucky Fruit Juice very close to the station. Yummm! I wish I could pack up the whole shop and carry it with me for the rest of my life everywhere I go. You must visit this place if you come this way, but not only because of the delicious milk shakes and food; Aurangabad is close to Ellora and Ajanta which is a must to visit when in India. Accommodation there is too expensive so most travelers chose to stop here and go on day-trips to see the caves in Ellora and Ajanta.
We are taking a night bus to Bombay tonight at 10:30, so we have some time to waste until then (no wonder I started a blog now)
In Bombay we will spend one night only, after which will head straight to Goa. That's where we will camp down for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. From there we will be able to visit Hampi and other wonderful places.

On a personal level:
I have withdrawal symptoms of dehuggidness. I miss the warm hugs of my friends, so I went back to my old ways of hugging trees. Indian trees are surprisingly good for hugging. I feel closer to my loved ones when I hug the trees that suck on the same earth my friends are treading on. :)

I'm also fed up with washing our clothes by hand every day. Zoli has injured himself quite badly when the train window has fallen shut right onto his middle finger. His nail went black straight away and will probably fall off withing a few days, so he can't wash his own clothes and probably wouldn't anyway... Last night I realised that I spent most of my time in the bathroom in this hotel, so next time I'll chose accommodation more carefully. The bathroom is priority from now! Also last night I realised that I don't have to HAND wash our clothes... I'll just put them in the bucket and I'll keep treading on them for an hour if i have to. While treading I can read a book. It's much better this way.

I'm off to have my last milk shake in this town!
