Wooo hoo! We're all re-energized; six hysterical westerners after spotting our first elephant. We're on our way to Varanasi, an intense place where "untouchables" cart around the dead, cremation in full view, bodies and human waste floating on the Ganges, putrid smells, in-your-face poverty. Hopefully we can catch moments of sleep for what's ahead. This drive though is pandemonium (sp). We've travelled 45kms in three hours. Another 155 kms to go. The driver is darting and dodging and lurching and blaring his horn like a man gone mad. Gravol is today's blessing.
