Dirty Water

Pics to follow, but we went to Varanasi which is the religious centre of india apparently. We were told that the many ghats were thriving with activity but there didn't seem to be that many people there to us.

Michelle said "the Ganges doesn't seem as bad as I'd expected" and of course from that moment we saw a dead rat, a dead dog and a dead cow in the river, not to mention a huge amount of litter. The locals think that the Ganges is a holy river and so they bathe in it but it would be a very unclean person who would come out cleaner than they went in!

We'd seen enough dead floating animals so moved on after a sunrise boat trip along the ghats....
