So yesterday morning we left our hotel at 10:30am and drove upstream of Varanassi for an hour and a half.
On arrival at our boats we boarded and made ourselves comfortable under shade.
We had the five of us and two boatman aboard as we drifted down the holy river. After an hour we rafted up the three passenger boats and the kitchen boat and had a magnificent meal.
We continued drifting for another four hours until we arrived at our venue for the evening - a sandbank in the middle of the Ganges.
Our boatmen set up tents and the cooks prepared our evening meal.
We headed off to bed at 9ish and awoke at sunrise.
Again we were welcomed by food, chai, tea and coffee.
We set off for Varanassi stopping again for lunch before finally arriving in the heat of the day after a relaxing and enjoyable 60km trip down the Ganges.
